Ascora
A broad trades platform with especially strong mobile, accounting, field operations, and data-exit documentation in the reviewed public materials.
This file records what was documented in reviewed public sources on 2026-08-31. It is not a security certification, a legal opinion, or a recommendation. Where something is marked not verified, it means we looked and did not find it publicly — not that it is absent or deficient.

Public operating signals
Official Facebook and Instagram accounts posted roughly two to three times weekly in the sample, with feature updates and trade-business guidance. LinkedIn activity appeared less recent in the available public view. Engagement was mainly reactions with occasional substantive comments.
SourcePricing, contract, security & exit
- Pricing
- Essentials AUD $45/user/month; Elite AUD $59/user/month; enterprise custom; implementation fee applies
- Contract
- 30-day notice; no lock-in contracts marketed
- Security
- Azure hosting, 2,048-bit encryption, and annual PCI DSS audits are stated. Scope and audit evidence should be requested directly, as no independent artifact was located.
- Data exit
- Export tools are documented. The SaaS agreement states deletion 90 days after termination and assigns the customer backup responsibility.
Third-party assurance
Vendor security controls documented
The vendor describes Azure hosting and annual PCI DSS audits, but no matching CSA STAR, TrustPartners, or public trust-center listing was located. A similarly named ASCERA directory entry is a different company.
SourceDocumented capabilities
Documented integrations
Looked for, not found in public sources
These are gaps in the public record. Ask the vendor directly; several may well exist without being publicly documented.
Score breakdown
Independent review signals
Reviews are broadly positive for trades fit and integrations. Smaller samples include mobile stability and learning-curve cautions.
Ratings belong to the platforms shown and were read on 2026-08-31. We do not host reviews, and we never convert review sentiment into a security or exit-readiness claim.
What to ask before you sign
- Separate brand history from current legal entity history: the ABN dates to October 2023.
- Request current PCI documentation, a DPA, and regional data-hosting terms.
- Test offline sync and the QuickBooks workflow on real devices before rollout.
