Why Contractors Are Switching

Hnry is great when you're just starting out as a contractor, but as your income grows, so do their percentage-based fees. Here's why successful contractors are making the switch to ORCA:

💰 Predictable Flat-Rate Pricing

Hnry charges 1% of your income plus GST - as you earn more, you pay more. ORCA is a flat $19/month regardless of your income. Once you're earning over $2,000/month, ORCA becomes significantly cheaper.

🎯 More Than Tax Management

While Hnry focuses primarily on tax and payments, ORCA provides complete business management: job tracking, client portals, detailed reporting, and tools to help you scale beyond solo work.

🚀 Built for Growth

Hnry works well for individual contractors, but if you want to hire staff, manage multiple projects, or grow your business, you'll need more robust tools. ORCA grows with you.

🔧 Full Control

With Hnry, they manage your money and pay your taxes for you. ORCA gives you complete visibility and control over your finances while still making tax time simple.

📊 Better Business Insights

Get detailed reports, track profitability by job, monitor expenses by category, and understand your business performance at a glance - tools designed for business owners, not just contractors.

🏠 Australian & Independent

Like Hnry, ORCA is Australian owned and operated. We understand the local market, regulations, and what Australian contractors need to succeed.
