Comparison based on iCertifi's publicly published pricing and positioning at the time of writing. Prices may change — check their site for the latest.
iCertifi prices electrical, PAT, gas and fire certificates as separate apps — £24.99/month for electrical alone, and around £76/month if you need three. TradePlanr includes all 37 certificate types in one £9.99/month plan.
iCertifi 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.
iCertifi runs on iPhone, iPad and Mac only. TradePlanr runs on iPhone, Android and any web browser — so a mixed-device team (or your office laptop) isn't locked out.

Yes — if you want certificates plus the rest of your business in one app. TradePlanr does 37 certificate types (EICR, EIC, Minor Works, PAT, CP12, fire and smoke alarm and more) alongside quotes, invoices, a job diary and card payments for a flat £9.99/month. iCertifi goes deeper on AI-assisted electrical certification, but it stops at certificates and splits them across separate paid apps.
iCertifi's published pricing is per app: electrical certificates are £24.99/month (£190/year), PAT testing £24.99/month (£120.99/year) and gas certificates £25.99/month (£149.99/year). An engineer needing all three pays roughly £76/month — or £461/year — across three apps. TradePlanr covers all of those certificate types, plus invoicing and scheduling, for £9.99/month or £99.99/year.
TradePlanr covers the day-to-day certs: EICR, EIC, Minor Works, PAT, Landlord Gas Safety (CP12), fire alarm, smoke alarm, emergency lighting and 29 more — all included in one plan. If you specifically want iCertifi's AI extras like photographing a board to fill the schedule, that's their specialist territory; TradePlanr focuses on fast manual entry plus everything after the cert.
Yes. TradePlanr runs on iPhone, Android and the web with everything synced between them. iCertifi is Apple-only, so Android users can't use it at all.
