How much does job management software cost for UK trades?

The short answer

Most UK trade apps cost between £25 and £45 a month for one person, and many charge per user. Some have small free plans with a job limit. InstaQuote is £49 a month for one user and £109 for up to 10 logins, after a 7-day free trial with no card.

The headline price is only half of it. Check whether you pay again for every person who logs in, because that doubles or triples the bill as soon as you take someone on.

Check what's on which plan. Automatic invoice chasing and VAT returns sit on higher plans on some apps.

Check what happens when you leave. Some apps lock you out the day you cancel, or delete your data. With InstaQuote you can download everything in one file, on any plan, even after you've cancelled.

As a guide, from each company's own website in September 2026: Tradify £34 to £44 per user, Powered Now £28 for one user then £32 or £40 per user, Fergus from £39 or £45 a month, with timesheet users from £12 a month and contractors £2 a day, YourTradebase £29 plus £15 per extra user, and ServiceM8 free for 30 jobs a month then £25 upwards by job count. Prices change, so check theirs before you decide.

Is a free job management app good enough?

For a handful of jobs a month, maybe. Free plans usually cap the number of jobs or quotes, and leave out the booking, chasing and books. Work out what an evening of admin a week costs you before choosing on price alone.

Does InstaQuote charge per user?

No. Founders is £49 a month for one person. Accounts is £109 a month for up to 10 logins, so taking someone on doesn't put the bill up.

Type it or photo it. Then let it run the rest.
