Deployr vs TSM
Thirty years. No published price.
TSM has earned its place: Australian-founded, thirty-plus years, and built specifically for HVAC&R and electrical contractors. If you already run it, you know what it does. The trouble is finding that out from the outside — the website offers a feature list, a phone number and an enquiry form.

Three Honest Differences
There is no pricing page at all. Not a starting rate, not a “from”, not a tier list — no page. Every question about cost begins with a phone call, and you can't put TSM beside anything else on a spreadsheet until you've made it.
No trial is published. No trial, sign-up or product tour is published. You are asked to commit your business's operating system on the strength of a conversation and a demo.
We compete on exactly the same ground. TSM names HVAC&R and electrical; Deployr ships HVAC & Refrigeration, Electrical and Plumbing & Gas as trade packs, with the licence classes and registers each one needs. Ask both what a refrigerant register looks like on the day ARC audits you.
