No per-user pricing, no annual contract, no quote-on-request. Two plans, both with a 30-day free trial, both covering the whole business rather than each person in it.
One-time licence per business file.
Free for the first 30 days.
Most Australian job-management apps bill per user per month, so the cost grows with your team and never stops. Figures below are for a single operator.
| Option | Price | Year 1 | 3 years |
|---|---|---|---|
| JASC Desktop | A$199 once | A$199 | A$199 |
| JASC Cloud | A$9.99 / month | A$110 | A$330 |
| Typical per-seat job app | ~A$47 / user / month | ~A$564 | ~A$1,692 |
Per-seat figure is indicative of commonly advertised entry pricing for Australian job management apps; check each vendor for current rates.
Yes. A$199 buys a permanent licence for one business file, activated on up to 5 devices. There is no subscription and no renewal fee to keep using the version you bought.
The desktop app asks you to activate a licence key before it will open the business file again. Nothing is deleted — the file and all your data stay on your machine, and opening it works as normal the moment a key is entered. Cloud trials begin billing at A$9.99 per month unless you cancel first.
The desktop app works offline. It checks your licence when it can reach the licence service and keeps working through a grace period when you are off the grid. JASC Cloud needs a connection because the workspace is hosted.
Both run the same application and the same data model, so the workflow is identical either way. Pick desktop if you want local control of the file, cloud if you want shared access without managing anything.
A desktop licence covers one business file across 5 device activations. JASC Cloud is priced per business rather than per seat, so adding a person does not change the bill.
Yes. GST is applied at 10% per line item with a toggle for GST-free items, your ABN and business details sit alongside every invoice, and totals are kept in cents so BAS figures reconcile.
30 days of the full desktop app, no card required.
