OneBookPlus vs Mira CRM for tradies, without the per-staff bill

Mira is a genuinely good Australian-built CRM for trade and inspection businesses, but its books still sync out to Xero, and you pay $60/staff/month + GST. OneBookPlus keeps the CRM, jobs and quoting and adds native GST accounting, BAS, bookings and AI, from $0/month.

Key takeaways

5
  • Mira pricing (AUD): free trial at $0 (up to 15 clients, no card), then $60/month + GST per user account, every additional staff account adds another $60/month + GST, and SMS is billed at 10c each. Read off mira.au/pricing on 1 September 2026.
  • Both Mira and OneBookPlus are Australian-built CRMs for trade and inspection businesses. They overlap on client management, scheduling, quotes, GST invoicing, on-site forms and card payments (both support Stripe).
Show 3 more
  • Mira has no native accounting, it syncs out to Xero, QuickBooks or MYOB. So a Mira tradie typically runs Mira plus a Xero or MYOB subscription and reconciles between two systems for BAS.
  • OneBookPlus bundles the accounting in: GST tracking and BAS-ready reports (G1, 1A, 1B) inside one subscription, from $0/month (Free), then $0 / $29 / $49 / $69, with no per-staff multiplier below each plan's login cap (1 / 3 / 5 / 10 by tier). Rostering and payroll are a separate $29/month add-on; it works out pay runs, PAYG withholding and super, but it does not lodge STP pay events to the ATO.
  • Where Mira genuinely wins: tight inspection/pest-control form workflows from operators who lived the trade, a clean job scheduler, and a native Android app. OneBookPlus wins on total cost (logins are included by plan, 1 / 3 / 5 / 10 by tier, rather than charged per seat, and accounting is bundled), a customer-facing booking page and portal, and AI follow-up automations.

Where Mira wins

Forms built by people who have filled them out

Mira was built in Australia by people who ran a pest-control business themselves, and that shows in the product. The on-site reports and safety forms are clearly designed by operators who have filled them out on a job, the job scheduler is clean, and it ships a native Android app alongside iOS and web. Their support is Australian-based and they offer hands-on consulting for form-building and data migration. If you run an inspection-heavy trade (pest, pool/spa, building inspections), are a solo operator or tiny team where the per-staff price stays small, and you’re already comfortable keeping your accounts in Xero, Mira is a well-made, locally-supported choice.

Where OneBookPlus wins

Books native, plans flat, and a public booking page

Accounting is native, not synced out. Mira’s pricing page lists accounting as an integration with Xero, QuickBooks and MYOB, so your books live in a second system you pay for and reconcile against. OneBookPlus ships a full P&L, GST tracking and quarterly BAS reports inside the same subscription. One source of truth, no quarter-end sync tax. Rostering and payroll sit alongside as a $29/month add-on that handles pay runs, PAYG withholding, super and payslips. It does not lodge STP pay events to the ATO, so those still go through STP-enabled software.

Flat plans, not per-staff pricing. Mira bills $60/month + GST for every staff account, so a three-person crew is roughly $180/month + GST before accounting software, per the Mira pricing page. OneBookPlus tiers ($0 / $29 / $49 / $69) include your team in the plan, so the bill doesn’t climb every time you put on an apprentice.

Public bookings, customer portal and AI. OneBookPlus gives every business a customer-facing online booking page, a customer portal where clients accept quotes and pay deposits, email marketing, and an AI Companion that chases no-shows, follows up unpaid invoices, runs winback and writes your end-of-day summary, capabilities Mira’s public pages do not document.

Why tradies move from Mira to OneBookPlus

Stop paying per staff seat

Mira charges $60/month + GST for every staff account, so the bill grows with your crew. OneBookPlus includes your team in a flat plan from $0 to $69/month.

Drop the second accounting bill

Mira syncs to Xero or MYOB for accounts. OneBookPlus has native P&L, GST and BAS built in, one subscription, no reconciliation between systems.

Win more work, not just manage it

A public booking page, customer portal, email marketing and AI follow-up help you win and retain clients, tools a CRM-and-jobs tool doesn't include.

Still Australian, still local

You're not trading away local-built software. OneBookPlus is Australian-built and hosted in AWS Sydney, with GST, ABN and BAS designed for AU tax rules.

How OneBookPlus handles your trade business

Mira and OneBookPlus start the same way: a lead comes in, you create a client record, book the job into the calendar and send a quote. The difference is what happens to the money afterwards. In a Mira workflow, the invoice eventually syncs out to Xero or MYOB, where your accounting, GST reconciliation and BAS live: two systems, two logins, and a sync you hope stays accurate at quarter-end.

In OneBookPlus, that handoff doesn't exist. When you mark a job complete and raise a GST-compliant invoice, the figures flow straight into a native accounting engine built for Australian tax. Your profit and loss updates in real time, expenses are categorised as you scan the receipt or the supplier bill, and when BAS time comes, you get an ATO-ready summary of GST collected, GST paid and your net position, with no export, no reconciliation and no second subscription.

On top of that, OneBookPlus does the front-of-house work a CRM-and-jobs tool leaves out. Clients can self-book through a public booking page that respects your calendar availability, accept quotes and pay deposits in a customer portal, and receive automated SMS and email reminders that cut no-shows. After the job, the AI Companion can send a Google review request, chase an unpaid invoice, or drop the client into a maintenance reminder campaign, turning one job into the next one.

OneBookPlus vs Mira: your questions answered

What is the difference between OneBookPlus and Mira?

Both are Australian-built CRMs for trade and service businesses, and they overlap a lot: client management, scheduling, quotes, invoices and on-site forms. The core difference is scope and pricing model. Mira is a CRM and job manager that syncs its books out to Xero, QuickBooks or MYOB for accounting, and it bills $60/month + GST for every staff account. OneBookPlus keeps the same CRM-and-jobs foundation but builds accounting in natively, GST tracking and BAS-ready reports, and starts at $0/month on a permanent free plan rather than per-staff.

How much does Mira cost compared to OneBookPlus?

Mira is $60/month + GST per user account, with each additional staff member adding another $60/month + GST, plus 10c per SMS (mira.au/pricing, read 1 September 2026). A three-person crew is therefore around $180/month + GST on Mira before any accounting software. For most trades you would still run Xero or MYOB on top of Mira for BAS and reconciliation. OneBookPlus starts free, then $0 / $29 / $49 / $69 per month with the accounting bundled in, no per-staff multiplier below each plan's login cap (1 / 3 / 5 / 10 by tier) and no separate Xero bill.

Does Mira do accounting and BAS?

Not natively. Mira handles invoicing and payments, but for accounts, GST reconciliation and BAS it integrates with Xero, QuickBooks or MYOB, so you end up running two systems and reconciling between them. OneBookPlus produces BAS-ready GST figures (G1, 1A, 1B) and a profit-and-loss statement inside the same subscription, with no export step. Payroll is a separate add-on at $29/month with a 14 day trial: it covers rosters, timesheets, pay runs, PAYG withholding, super, penalty rates, payslips and an ABA bank file. It does not lodge Single Touch Payroll pay events to the ATO, so you still report each pay run through STP-enabled software.

Is OneBookPlus a good Mira alternative for tradies?

Yes, particularly if you want one platform instead of a CRM plus a separate accounting subscription, or if per-staff pricing gets expensive as your crew grows. OneBookPlus covers the same CRM, scheduling, quoting and invoicing Mira is used for, and adds native accounting, a customer-facing online booking page, email marketing and AI automations. If you are a solo operator who already loves Mira's pest-control-and-inspection forms and you are happy paying for Xero separately, Mira may still suit you.

Can OneBookPlus replace Mira?

For the day-to-day job: yes. OneBookPlus handles client records, appointment scheduling, quotes, GST invoicing, on-site forms and card payments, the work most tradies do in Mira. You also gain native accounting and BAS, a public booking page, a customer portal and marketing tools that Mira does not include, and you stop paying per staff seat.

Are both Mira and OneBookPlus Australian?

Yes. Mira is Australian-owned and built by ex-pest-control operators for local trade and inspection businesses. OneBookPlus is also Australian-built, hosted in AWS Sydney (ap-southeast-2), with GST, ABN validation and BAS designed for Australian tax rules from the ground up.

What is a BAS, and does OneBookPlus produce one?

A BAS (Business Activity Statement) is the form Australian businesses lodge with the ATO to report GST collected on sales, GST paid on purchases, and the net amount owed or refunded. OneBookPlus generates BAS-ready GST figures automatically from your invoices and expenses, so you can lodge or hand them to your accountant without a separate accounting subscription. Mira has no native BAS reporting, that runs through Xero or MYOB on top of your Mira plan. This is general information, not tax advice, check your own position with your accountant.

Does OneBookPlus have a native Android app like Mira?

Not today. Mira lists iOS, Android and web (mira.au). OneBookPlus has a native iOS app; on Android your crew uses the web app in a browser, which covers jobs, scheduling, on-site forms, quoting and invoicing but is not a native install. If your crew is mostly on Android phones and a native app is a hard requirement, that is a genuine point in Mira's favour and worth weighing before you switch.

Are the Mira prices on this page current?

They were read off mira.au/pricing on 1 September 2026: a free trial at $0 for up to 15 clients with no card, then $60/month + GST per user account, another $60/month + GST for each additional staff account, and SMS billed at 10c each. Pricing can change, so treat Mira's own pricing page (linked throughout this comparison) as the source of truth. OneBookPlus pricing is $0 (Free), $29 (Starter), $49 (Plus) or $69 (Growth) per month, and the current numbers are listed on the OneBookPlus pricing page, linked from the top of this comparison.

How to switch from Mira to OneBookPlus

1

Export your clients from Mira

Export your client list as a CSV (Mira’s Australian support can assist, and they offer data-migration help). Import it into OneBookPlus: names, emails, phone numbers and addresses map across into your CRM.

2

Rebuild your services, forms and branding

Set up your service list, prices, on-site forms, logo, ABN and GST preferences. Because accounting is native, you also set your BAS cycle once, and there’s no separate Xero connection to wire up afterwards.

3

Run new jobs in OneBookPlus, wind Mira down

Start all new quotes and jobs in OneBookPlus while keeping Mira as a read-only archive for a month. Once you’re comfortable, and you’ve seen your first BAS come straight out of OneBookPlus, cancel Mira and the per-staff fees with it.

One Australian platform for the whole
business, not a CRM plus a Xero bill.
