£4.99 seats, not £15 per extra user
YourTradebase is £29/month for one user and adds £15 for each extra person — a three-person team is around £59/month. The same three people on TradePlanr's Team plan are £19.97/month, certificates included.
£9.99 + £4.99 a seat — not £29 plus £15 per extra user
YourTradebase is a tidy UK job-management tool, but it's £29/month plus £15 for every extra user — and it doesn't do trade certificates. TradePlanr runs your quotes, invoices, scheduling, certificates and card payments for £9.99/month, free to start, with team seats at just £4.99.

Switching FAQs
Is TradePlanr cheaper than YourTradebase?
For anyone with a team, clearly yes. YourTradebase is £29/month +VAT for a single user and adds £15/month for each extra person, so a three-person team is around £59/month. TradePlanr is £9.99/month solo and £19.97/month for a three-person team (Team plan, £4.99 per extra seat) — the saving grows with every person you add, and there's a free plan to start.
Does YourTradebase do trade certificates?
No — YourTradebase covers quotes, jobs, invoicing and payments but not compliance certificates. TradePlanr includes 80 UK certificate types (CP12, EICR, EIC, Minor Works, PAT and more) with digital customer sign-offs, all at £9.99/month.
Do you charge per user like YourTradebase?
A third as much. Extra team seats on TradePlanr are £4.99/month each versus YourTradebase's £15 per extra user — and every TradePlanr seat gets full Pro, certificates included.
What does YourTradebase do that TradePlanr doesn't?
YourTradebase includes GPS time tracking against jobs, which some teams like for timesheets. If that's essential to you, it's a point in their favour. TradePlanr focuses on quotes, invoices, certificates and getting paid — with team seats at a third of YourTradebase's per-user price, and compliance certificates included.
Is there a free plan?
Yes — a genuine free plan with no card, then Pro at £9.99/month or £99.99/year with a 7-day trial when you're ready to send documents and take card payments.
