Trak vs NextMinute
AN ALTERNATIVE TO
NEXTMINUTE
Trak and NextMinute are both comprehensive job management apps, however Trak encompasses all service-based businesses while NextMinute is aimed at the construction industry. NextMinute offers different levels of access for Admins and Users with costs different across both, so we will be looking at Admin level users as they have full access to all features. While NextMinute offers a lot of similar features to Trak such as job profitability reports and quoting & invoicing, it does offer some unique features such as their Gantt Chart planning and job templates. However, Trak offers features such as the Report Builder, SWMS, Subcontractors and more which NextMinute does not.
