Switching FAQs
Is TradePlanr a good alternative to Gas Engineer Software?
Yes — if what you need day to day is quotes, invoices, certificates, job sign-offs, a job diary and getting paid, TradePlanr does all of that on a flat £9.99/month plan with a free tier to start. Gas Engineer Software is a strong gas specialist, but it charges per engineer and has no free plan, so TradePlanr is the more affordable choice for solo and small gas and heating businesses.
How much cheaper is TradePlanr?
Gas Engineer Software's published pricing is per user — roughly £18–£30 per engineer per month. A solo engineer pays around £18–£30 there versus a flat £9.99 with TradePlanr; a three-van firm could pay £54–£90 a month per-user, versus £19.97 on TradePlanr's Team plan (first seat £9.99, extras £4.99).
Do you charge per engineer or per seat?
Solo Pro is one flat price. If you run a crew, the Team plan adds seats at £4.99/month each — every engineer gets full Pro — versus £18–£30 per engineer on per-user tools like Gas Engineer Software.
Can I use TradePlanr for gas and heating jobs?
Yes. TradePlanr handles quotes, invoices, certificates, digital sign-offs, scheduling and payments for gas and heating work — and everything else you do. If you specifically need specialist gas calculators (gas rate, pipe sizing) or a boiler-manual library, a dedicated gas tool will go deeper on those; TradePlanr focuses on running the business side affordably across all your work.
Is there really a free plan?
Yes — a genuine free plan, not a trial that expires. Start creating jobs, quotes and invoices for free with no card. Pro (online payments and more) is £9.99/month or £99.99/year with a 7-day free trial when you're ready.
