Switching FAQs
Is TradePlanr cheaper than Tradify?
For almost everyone, yes. Tradify is priced per user (its site lists roughly $47–$61 per user per month) with no free plan. TradePlanr is £9.99/month solo, and a three-person team on the Team plan is £19.97/month (extra seats are £4.99) versus ~£111 on Tradify — the more people you have, the bigger the saving. There's a free plan to start, too.
Does TradePlanr do everything Tradify does?
For the core of running a trade business — quotes, invoices, a job diary, scheduling, certificates, digital sign-offs and card payments — yes. Tradify is a mature product with deep options aimed at larger teams; TradePlanr focuses on doing the everyday essentials brilliantly at a fraction of the price.
Do you charge per user like Tradify?
A fraction of it. Solo Pro is one flat price, and adding staff on the Team plan costs £4.99/month per extra seat — each with full Pro — versus roughly £37 per user on Tradify. That pricing gap is the biggest difference between the two.
Is there a free plan?
Yes — a genuine free plan, not a 14-day trial. Start free with no card and upgrade to Pro (£9.99/month or £99.99/year, with a 7-day trial) when you're ready to send invoices and take payments.
