Ascora pricing, and the crew it is priced for
Ascora is Australian-built and charges per user. That second part is the whole comparison: the gap between it and Chippie is not a feature, it is a head count.
Start freeKey takeaways
- Ascora Essentials is $45 per user per month and Elite is $59, verified 19 September 2026 from ascora.com.au/price.
- On Essentials: two users $90 a month, three $135, four $180. On Elite: $118, $177, $236.
- Its page does not state whether those include GST, so neither do we.
- The Enterprise plan card states a one-time implementation fee applies. The amount is not published, and the Essentials and Elite cards do not mention one.
- No free tier. A 14-day trial with no card and no lock-in.
- Chippie Team is $45 a month including 4 users, which is what one Ascora seat costs.
What does Ascora cost for my crew?#
Per-user pricing means the comparison changes shape with every person you add. One seat on Ascora Essentials and a whole Chippie Team plan are the same number, so the divergence starts at your second person.
| Essentials, $45 a seat | Elite, $59 a seat | Chippie | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Just you | $45 / month | $59 / month | Free, or Pro $25 |
| Two of you | $90 / month | $118 / month | Pro $25 |
| Three of you | $135 / month | $177 / month | Team $45 |
| Four of you | $180 / month | $236 / month | Team $45 |
| Free plan | None, 14-day trial | None, 14-day trial | 20 jobs a month |
Three people on Ascora Essentials is $135 a month. Three people on Chippie Team is $45, because the plan includes four.
| Ascora Essentials, 4 users at $45 | $180 / month |
|---|---|
| Ascora Elite, 4 users at $59 | $236 / month |
| Chippie Team, 4 users included | $45 / month |
| Essentials against Chippie Team | $135 / month |

| Multi-stage projects | No | Elite plan |

What do Ascora users report?#
When is Ascora the better choice?#
- You need equipment management or custom forms. Chippie has neither.
- Your work runs in stages. Multi-stage projects are built in on Elite.
- You want an Australian vendor with an Australian price. Ascora is both, which several tools in this category are not.
When is Chippie the better choice?#
- Per-user pricing is the thing stopping you: four people on Chippie Team costs what one Ascora seat does.
- You would be buying Elite for two of its five features.
- You want to start free and stay free under 20 jobs a month.
- You do not want an implementation fee you cannot see in advance.
How do I move my data across?#
