Questions
Is The Crew Builder really free?
Yes. The job tools are free: quotes, invoices, price book, timesheets, roster, leave and payroll exports. You only pay for a hiring plan when you're hiring.
What do the hiring plans add?
A talent pool with ticket and licence tracking, job ads and careers pages, candidate tracking, interview scheduling and team logins.
How much are the hiring plans?
Starter $49, Pro $129 or Business $249 a month incl. GST. Pay yearly and you get 2 months free. There's a 14-day free trial with no card needed.
Is the Free plan really free?
Yes. Quotes, invoices, the price book, clients, timesheets, the roster, the clock on/off app, leave and payroll exports are free with no card and no end date. Free includes 3 team logins. You only pay if you want the hiring tools.
Do I need a card for the hiring trial?
No. Start the 14-day hiring trial from the app and you get every Pro hiring feature. When it ends, choose a plan or hiring pauses. Your job tools keep working and nothing is charged unless you choose a plan.
What happens to my hiring data if I stop paying?
Hiring pauses after a short grace period and your careers page stops taking applications. Your candidates and jobs are kept, and you can export or delete them. Quotes, invoices and timesheets carry on free.
Can candidates apply on their phone?
Yes. That's the point. Name, mobile, suburb, tickets and an optional CV. No account, no cover letter, about two minutes.
Do you post to Seek and Indeed for me?
Not automatically. Each job gets ready-to-paste ad copy and a tracked link for Seek, Indeed, Facebook and LinkedIn, so you can see which channel sent each applicant. Direct posting isn't built yet.
How is candidate privacy handled?
Every apply form shows a collection notice. You set how long unsuccessful and talent-pool candidates are kept, and you can export or delete a candidate's data on request. You're still responsible for your own privacy policy.
Are the invoices proper tax invoices?
Yes, for a GST-registered Australian business they're titled Tax Invoice with your ABN, GST at 10% and the GST total. UK and Irish companies get VAT invoices with VAT at 20% or 23%, plus reverse charge and CIS lines where they apply. Download them as PDF or Word, or send a private link. These are common defaults, not tax advice, so check with your accountant.
Is "Price a job" an exact quote?
No. It reads your materials list, plan schedule, supplier quote or a photo, matches each line to your own price book and gives you a low, likely and high price. Photos are read by machine and won't be exact, so you check every line before it becomes a quote. Example prices are only a starting point until you add your supplier's prices.
Where do the material prices come from?
Your own price book first (type them in or import your supplier's price list), then anonymous price ranges shared by at least three companies, then recently cached shop prices. Live "Search shops online" is on the paid plans. Every price shows where it came from and the date. Retail shelf prices are often higher than trade prices.
Does the timesheet tool work out award pay?
No. It splits hours into ordinary and overtime using simple thresholds you set (Australian or UK/Irish defaults to start). Those figures are estimates to help you check and export hours, not award or payroll advice. Your payroll system and the relevant award or contract decide what people are paid.
Do my workers need to download an app?
No. They open a link on their phone, sign in with their email, and tap clock on. Workers don't use a team login, on any plan.
Which countries is it for?
Australia, the United Kingdom and Ireland. Pick your country at sign-up: Australian companies get AUD and GST on their invoices, UK companies GBP and VAT (with CIS), and Irish companies EUR and Irish VAT, with matching overtime and leave defaults. Hiring plans for the UK and Ireland are billed in GBP.
What do the hiring plans cost in the UK and Ireland?
Starter £25, Pro £65 and Business £125 a month. Yearly plans are £250, £650 and £1,250, so 2 months free. Extra team logins on Pro and Business are £5 a month or £50 a year. You get the same 14-day free hiring trial with no card. The job tools are free.
Can I change plans?
Yes. Change your plan from Plan & billing, through the secure Stripe customer portal. If you stop a hiring plan, you go back to the free job tools and your data is kept.
