Why ServiceM8 users switch to VioTrade

Job credits make costs unpredictable

ServiceM8 charges per job completed, not per month. Your busiest months cost the most. VioTrade is one flat price every month - no surprises, no usage anxiety.

Built for Australia, not the UK

ServiceM8 was designed for Australian GST and compliance. UK VAT rules and CDM 2015 RAMS requirements are afterthoughts. VioTrade was built for UK tradespeople from day one.

No website included

You still need to pay an agency for a website. VioTrade includes an AI-built professional website in your plan - up and running in under 2 minutes.

ServiceM8's job credit model was confusing and expensive in my busiest months. VioTrade is just one clear price and it was actually built for UK trades - the VAT support alone made the switch worth it.
