Why trades switch to TradePlanr
The certificate is half the job — invoice it too
EasyCert stops when the cert is signed. TradePlanr turns the same job into a quote, an invoice and a card payment link, so the paperwork and the getting-paid happen in one place.
One flat price, no upfront licence
EasyCert is a one-off Windows licence with £59.95 per extra user and a paid yearly support renewal to keep it updated. TradePlanr is £9.99/month flat — every certificate type, updates included, and extra team seats are £4.99/month rather than a £59.95 licence.
Free to start, no card needed
Create jobs, quotes, invoices and certificates on the free plan without paying a penny — no software to buy first. Go Pro with a 7-day free trial when you're ready to send.
Switching FAQs
Is TradePlanr a good alternative to EasyCert?
Yes — if you want your certificates plus the rest of your business in one app, on your phone. TradePlanr does 80 certificate types (EICR, EIC, Minor Works, fire alarm, emergency lighting and more) alongside quotes, invoices, a job diary and card payments for a flat £9.99/month. EasyCert is dedicated certification software, but it's Windows-desktop based and stops at certificates.
How does the pricing compare?
EasyCert is sold as a one-off Windows licence, with additional user licences at £59.95 each and a Customer Care Package you renew yearly for software updates and support. TradePlanr is a flat £9.99/month (or £99.99/year), with a genuine free plan to start, updates included and team seats at £4.99/month — cancel anytime.
Does TradePlanr do the same certificates as EasyCert?
TradePlanr covers the day-to-day certs EasyCert is known for — EICR, EIC, Minor Works, fire alarm (BS 5839) and emergency lighting (BS 5266) — plus PAT, Landlord Gas Safety (CP12) and dozens more, 80 types in total, all included in one plan.
Do I need a Windows PC to use TradePlanr?
No. TradePlanr runs on iPhone, Android and any web browser, with everything synced between them. There's no Windows software to install — you can complete and issue a certificate from your phone on site.
Is there really a free plan?
Yes — a genuine free plan, not a trial that expires. Start creating jobs, quotes, invoices and certificates for free with no card. Pro (sending documents, online payments and more) is £9.99/month or £99.99/year with a 7-day free trial.
