The same job, before and after.
You shouldn't have to do any of this. After you send the quote, the only thing you do is tap Job done. The deposit, the booking, the invoice and the chasing are handled.
- The EICR's done. The certificate's still sat on the laptop at ten o'clock.
- Three visits priced off a Screwfix receipt and a guess at the second fix.
- The customer wants the consumer unit itemised, and the spur, and the extra socket.
- Chasing a £180 invoice for longer than the job took.
- VAT on the parts, CIS off the labour for the builder, reverse charge on the main contractor job, three different sums.
- 01Quoting

Built on the tools, not in a boardroom
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.
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.

One plan price for your team-size band, not a separate fee for every user: Starter covers 2 of you (you and one worker), Crew up to 3, Team up to 5, Firm up to 10. And ours keeps going after the quote: the deposit, the booking, the invoice and the chasing.
On Tradify, once a customer accepts your quote you still book the job in, and move the date yourself when they ask.
Tradify's prices from their own website, on their lowest-priced plan, checked 19 September 2026. Prices move, so check theirs before you decide. Prices shown are what you pay. InstaQuote is not currently VAT registered, so no VAT is added. The whole comparison, line by line

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.
The deposit books the job.
No more chasing a date. They pick it, they move it, you turn up.
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.
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.
One tap splits labour and materials.
No more working out the itemised version at the kitchen table. Your merchant's prices, your markup.
Your own certificates, with reminders.
Gas Safe, NICEIC, CSCS, insurance, the lot on file. You're told before one runs out, never after.
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.
The only bit you do
How a quote for electricians gets built.
A quoting app for electricians that doesn't stop at the quote. Price the board, the points and the rewire from your own rates, then it takes the deposit, books the job in and gets you paid. Type it into your phone on the doorstep: six double sockets, four downlights, a new board and a test. It comes back itemised per point and per job, priced off your own rates.
Type it, say it or photo it. Type or say the job from the doorstep, or photo the board. Points, lights, boards, testing and call outs come back as separate priced lines.
You give the sizes, it does the sums. No tape, no measuring tool. A photo gives it the rough sizes and what is in the room, you type or say the real sizes, and it prices off your rates. Anything it assumed is marked for you to check.
Priced from your rates. Priced from your own per point and per job rates. Electrical starts you at £95 for a double socket, £110 a lighting point, £650 for a board change and a £280 day rate, and you change every figure to yours.
Your price list, day one
Electrical: what a new account starts with
Real UK starting prices for electricians, already in your list on the first day. Every one of them is yours to change, and your rates are what the quotes price from.
| Work | Starter price |
|---|---|
| Add socket / double socket | £95/each |
| Add lighting point + switch | £110/point |
| Replace consumer unit (board) | £650/each |
| EICR / electrical inspection | £180/each |
| Electrician day rate | £280/day |
Starting points for 2025 and 2026, meant to be tuned to your patch. Change one in Settings and every future quote uses it.
See the full electrical price list, freeThe materials come with it
Sparks usually carry their own gear, so the lists are deliberately lean and honest: the board, the cable, the accessories on the lines that need them. Add anything else in a tap.
You can put a names only list on the customer's copy so they can see what you are supplying, with your buying and your markup kept to yourself.
VAT and CIS for electricians. Work for a builder, a contractor or a developer and the CIS deduction is worked out on the quote and the invoice. The reverse charge is a separate tick, and it only applies if you're both VAT registered, the work is standard or reduced rated, and they haven't told you in writing they're the end user. Our free checker settles it. Work straight for a homeowner and both stay off.

Asked by electricians.
7 answers · No small print
The money questions (the trial, the cost, cancelling) are at the bottom of this list, and the how-to guides are in Answers.
Can it price per point rather than per m²?
Yes. Sockets and lights are priced per point, boards and rewires per job, testing per certificate, and anything open ended off your day rate. Nothing is forced into an m² rate.
Does it produce my EICR or minor works certificate?
No, and we will not pretend otherwise. Your certificates come from your scheme provider. InstaQuote quotes the inspection, books it in, invoices it and chases it if it goes unpaid.
Can I quote a rewire and a board change in the same job?
Yes, as separate lines on one quote, with the VAT worked out at the bottom. A full house rewire is seeded at £6,200 and a board change at £650 so the shape of the quote is right before you touch it.
I sub for builders and work direct. Does it handle both?
Work for a builder, a contractor or a developer and the CIS deduction is worked out on the quote and the invoice. The reverse charge is a separate tick, and it only applies if you're both VAT registered, the work is standard or reduced rated, and they haven't told you in writing they're the end user. Our free checker settles it. Work straight for a homeowner and both stay off.
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.
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.
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.
