You do the job. We do everything else.

Deposit taken. Job booked. Invoice sent. Late payer chased. VAT sorted.

Type it, say it or snap a photo.

Animated demo for roofers: InstaQuote prices an itemised £1,752 quote from your own rates with VAT handled, and it goes to the customer. On Saturday morning your phone shows: £876 paid by Emma W., deposit landed, the job is booked in, on your next eligible free day. Your Today screen says: Booked a job in. Put Emma W. in for Fri 13 Nov the moment their deposit landed. It also lists the rest of the week's admin: Drafted invoices from finished jobs, Chased your overdue invoices, Reconciled your bank.

Why us, not the others

Six things no other trade app we checked does.

Every app we checked does quotes, invoices, the diary, VAT and CIS. So do we. These six are on top, and none of the ten says it does them.

  1. The deposit books the job.

    No more chasing a date. They pick it, they move it, you turn up.

  2. Your bank statement, matched to your invoices.

    Upload it and every payment is matched to the invoice it paid. No surprise tax bill: what to put aside is shown as the year goes.

  3. Download everything, even after you cancel.

    Your work is yours, not ours. Five of the ten say on their own sites that they lock you out or delete it.

  4. One tap splits labour and materials.

    No more working out the itemised version at the kitchen table. Your merchant's prices, your markup.

  5. Your own certificates, with reminders.

    Gas Safe, NICEIC, CSCS, insurance, the lot on file. You're told before one runs out, never after.

  6. Ask ChatGPT or Claude what's on today.

    Make a key in Settings, paste it into ChatGPT or Claude once, and ask "who owes me?". It can read your account and never change it.

Checked on their own websites, 18 to 26 September 2026, and ServiceM8 again on 3 October, and all ten again on 12 October 2026: Tradify, Powered Now, Fergus, ServiceM8, Jobber, Commusoft, YourTradebase, QuickPrice, VoxTrade and PriceUp. Where their site says nothing, we say "not found", never "they don't". See it app by app.

Built on the tools, not in a boardroom

Tom, plaster still on his top, shaking a customer's hand in front of his van

I'm Tom. Ten years in the trade, and every quote done sat in the van on the drive. If that's you, keep reading.

Tom · Founder · InstaQuote Ltd

I started in the trade at 17. Ten years in, the work was fine. It was everything after the work.

Every night I'd pull up at home and sit in the van on the drive, because the quotes and the invoices and the chasing had to be done before I went in. Every night. And the better the quotes were, the more people rang, so it never got smaller. I was starting to hate a trade I'd loved since I was 17.

If you've ever sat outside your own house doing paperwork, you know.

I tried every system going. Every one made a quote, then left me in the van doing the rest.

So I came off the tools and spent 18 months building the thing that didn't exist. Every step I used to do on that drive, built in so it happens without you. The quote prices itself from your rates. The deposit books the job. The invoice goes when you tap Job done. The late payer gets chased. VAT and CIS worked out.

Two things we found in no other trade app we checked: the deposit on your quote books the job and the customer moves the date themselves, and your bank statement gets matched with the tax to put aside shown.

It's new. Price a real job on it, 7 days free. If it's not quicker than what you do now, bin it and tell me why.

What I want is simple: you out of the van and in the house, paid properly and on time, and back in love with the trade you picked.

Questions, answered straight.

10 answers · No small print

Do I need a card to start?

Not to try it. Your free week and your demo quote don't need one. If you pick a plan during the week, you add your card then and nothing is taken that day: the first payment goes out automatically when your free week ends (or up to two days later if you pick it in the last two days). Don't pick a plan and nothing is ever charged; the account pauses with nothing deleted.

Will InstaQuote price my jobs correctly?

It prices from your own rates, not a generic calculator. If it has to assume a size or detail it flags it so you can check before you send, so the number is yours, not a guess.

What happens after I send a quote?

Your customer gets a link, with nothing to install. They accept the quote and, once you've connected payouts in Settings, pay the deposit by card on their phone. The job books into your next eligible free day and they can move the date from their link. When you tap Job done, the balance invoice goes out, or it's marked paid with a receipt if the deposit covered it. Overdue invoices get polite reminders in your name, four at most over three weeks, and they stop the moment it's paid.

What does it cost after the trial?

From £47/mo on Starter, for you and one more. Crew is £57/mo for up to 3 logins, Team £87/mo for up to 5 and Firm £157/mo for up to 10, and InstaQuote takes no fee on card payments (Stripe's standard card rate still applies). Your price stays the same for as long as your plan stays active.

What's included in each plan?

Every plan gives you, the owner, the full app, books included, with no limit on jobs. They differ only in how many of you log in: Starter (£47/mo) is two logins, yours and one for a worker; Crew (£57/mo) up to 3, Team (£87/mo) up to 5 and Firm (£157/mo) up to 10. Your team sees the work and you keep control of the business: each team login gets the jobs, the addresses and what needs doing, and posts progress, photos and hours from site, but never sees your prices, margins, invoices or accounts. Any size can come with your website, built and hosted for you, and when a customer taps Get a quote or Book on it, it lands in Leads in the app. More than 10 of you? Talk to us.

Can I cancel whenever I want?

Yes, anytime, from Settings in a couple of taps. No minimum term, no lock-in, no phone call to escape. You keep access to the end of whatever you've already paid for, and that's that.
