Tradify
A mature job management platform with solid quote and invoice tools. Popular with UK tradespeople but per-user pricing gets expensive fast for teams, and there are no AI features anywhere.
Pros
- Established platform with a strong UK user base
- Good quoting and invoicing tools
- Integrates with Xero and QuickBooks
- CIS support for subcontractors
Cons
- Per-user pricing - a 3-person team costs £102/mo
- No AI features of any kind
- No website builder - requires a separate service
- No RAMS document generator
- New Zealand company - not UK-native
ServiceM8
A mobile-first Australian platform with good job management features. Complex job-credit pricing and a lack of UK-specific compliance tools make it a less natural fit for UK tradespeople.
Pros
- Strong, well-designed mobile app
- Good scheduling and GPS tracking
- Digital job cards and electronic forms
Cons
- Job-credit pricing - busy months cost more
- Built for Australia - UK VAT and RAMS are afterthoughts
- No RAMS document generator
- No website builder
- More complex learning curve

A clean job costing and management tool popular in New Zealand. Limited UK presence and no AI features make it a less compelling option for UK tradespeople looking for a modern all-in-one solution.
Pros
- Good job costing and profitability tracking
- Real-time financial summary per job
- Clean, straightforward interface
Cons
- Per-user pricing - costs rise with your team
- No AI features
- No website builder
- No RAMS documents
- New Zealand company - limited UK focus and support
“I tried three different apps before finding VioTrade. The voice agent was the thing that made me stay - I can do my invoices from the van without even putting my tools down.”
