Priced in pounds, not dollars
Jobber bills in US dollars, so your software cost moves with the exchange rate — and every extra user adds $29/month. TradePlanr is £9.99/month in pounds, with extra team seats at £4.99 — not $29 — each.
Built for UK trades — £9.99 flat, in pounds, with the certs Jobber doesn't do
Jobber is a polished job management tool, but it's built for North America: priced in US dollars, $29/month for every extra user, no free plan — and none of the UK certificates a gas engineer or electrician has to issue. TradePlanr does quotes, invoices, scheduling, 80 UK certificate types and card payments for one flat £9.99/month.

Switching FAQs
Is TradePlanr a good Jobber alternative in the UK?
Yes — TradePlanr is built for UK trades specifically. It's priced in pounds (£9.99/month flat), includes the UK certificates gas engineers and electricians have to issue (CP12, EICR, Minor Works, PAT and more), and is free to try with no card. Jobber is a strong product for North American home-service businesses, but it bills in US dollars, charges per extra user and has no UK compliance paperwork.
How much does Jobber cost compared with TradePlanr?
Jobber's published pricing is in US dollars — roughly $21–$49/month for a single user depending on plan and billing period, with team plans from around $70/month and each additional user $29/month. TradePlanr is £9.99/month (or £99.99/year), and each extra team member is £4.99/month on the Team plan.
Does Jobber do UK certificates like the CP12?
No. Jobber has no UK gas or electrical certificates. TradePlanr includes 80 UK certificate types — Landlord Gas Safety (CP12), EICR, EIC, Minor Works, PAT testing, fire and smoke alarm certificates and more — with digital customer sign-offs, all at £9.99/month.
What does Jobber do that TradePlanr doesn't?
Jobber's standouts are its online booking, client hub and marketing tools — review campaigns, follow-up automations and a mature ecosystem aimed at home-service businesses. If those are your priority and UK certificates don't matter to you, it's a capable choice. TradePlanr focuses on running UK trade jobs affordably: quotes, certs, invoices and payments.
Is there a free plan?
Yes — you can try TradePlanr free, not just a trial. Get your quotes and invoices going with no card and no countdown. Pro is £9.99/month or £99.99/year with a 7-day free trial when you're ready to send documents and take payments.
