Zirko and Fergus
Fergus comes from New Zealand and runs four market editions, two of them under their own legal entity. Here is where we differ — with a retrieval date and a source.

| Feature | Zirko | Fergus |
|---|---|---|
| Price statement | Every amount stands on the pricing page: the figure itself, what it is for — per office seat — and whether tax is included. No “from”. | Every plan price is preceded by “From”, and the pricing pages carry only the symbols $ and £: the same “53” appears on the New Zealand and the Australian page, and those are two different currencies. What the amount is for is settled only in the terms (“per user basis with a plan type base”), and that it is net likewise (“exclusive of all taxes”) — not at the price itself. So no Fergus figure stands here. |
| Trial | 14 days, full range of functions, ends by itself. | 14 days without payment details (“no credit card required”); the first charge only comes at the end of the first full calendar month after the trial. |
| Term and set-up | Monthly or yearly, no set-up fee, no minimum term. | Monthly billing without a lock-in and expressly no set-up fee: “Are there any set up fees? No.” Users you remove stay active until the end of the billing period and are still billed for it. |
| Market editions | A market edition of its own for every country we operate in — its own language, its own currency and its own legal position. | Four market editions plus a global one, each with exactly 138 addresses — mirrored address for address: even purely British promotion pages exist under the New Zealand, Australian and American prefixes. |
What it costs
This provider names only a starting price: “Plans starting from £39 per month”, with a “From” in front of every plan, and it does not say whether tax is included. A starting price is not the price of a fixed scope, so no figure stands in the table here — the source is named below, and the amount is on it.

Where the other one is better today
- Fergus gives every new business a free set-up hour with a product specialist, plus a free “Power Hour” from certified partners. Zirko has no set-up service.
- The upper Fergus tier carries location tracking, job phases, tiered pricing, hazard lists, site safety documentation and seven reporting areas of its own. Zirko has none of them.
- Fergus settles card payments through a service of its own and names the fee per market. Zirko takes no payments on the business’s behalf.
- Fergus calls itself “The #1 tool for 25,000+ trade businesses” — a self-report, but the company keeps its own legal entities in Australia and the United Kingdom. Zirko is before launch.
And this is what you should know
Zirko is before launch: no customers, no testimonials, no app store listing, and the prices have only just been set. This is a comparison with an established provider, not a comparison between equals.
How this comparison comes about
Every statement about the competitor was looked up on one day at the address named and carries that date. What we could not look up is not here. Prices and scope change — check for yourself if in doubt.
