The same AS 1851 ground — with pricing you can see and a trial you can start today.
Uptick is the best-known fire maintenance platform in Australia: Melbourne-founded, purpose-built for fire and security, and used by more than a thousand fire businesses. It prices per user across office and field staff, quotes on request, and aims squarely at teams running three to fifty technicians. traqR covers the same AS 1851 ground — routine-service schedules, fire asset registers, test reports, defect rectification and AFSS readiness — with flat published pricing, a self-serve 14-day trial, and job costing, purchase orders and financial reporting in the same system.

Uptick prices per user across office and field staff and quotes on request. traqR publishes flat monthly tiers by team size from $99/month, so you can budget it without booking a call.
Uptick’s route in is a demo and a custom quote, and it says plainly it isn’t aimed at one-person operations. traqR is a 14-day free trial with no credit card, which suits a two-van contractor as readily as a twenty-tech one.
Alongside AS 1851 servicing and the fire asset register, traqR runs quoting, invoicing and payments, purchase orders, inventory, job costing with budget-vs-actual, timesheets with GPS, a client portal and AI business insights — one system for the whole business, on every plan.
Uptick is the deepest fire-specific platform in the market and a strong choice for larger maintenance teams. traqR suits contractors who want AS 1851 servicing, fire asset registers and AFSS readiness alongside job costing, purchase orders and financial reporting — at a flat published price with a self-serve free trial.
Uptick charges per user per month across both office and field staff and doesn’t publish its rates — you request a quote. traqR publishes flat monthly tiers by team size from $99/month, with every feature included and no per-seat increase as you hire.
Uptick’s advertised way in is a demo and a custom quote; it doesn’t promote a self-serve free trial. traqR gives you 14 days free with no credit card, so you can load a real contract and see it work before you commit.
Every feature, free for 14 days — no credit card required. Run traqR against your current tool on a real AS 1851 contract and decide for yourself.
