Why us, not the others
Two things no other trade app we checked will do.
We read ten rival apps on their own websites. Plenty of them make a quote. We didn't find these on any of them.
The deposit books the job.
Your customer pays the deposit on the quote you sent, and the job books itself into your next free days. If the date doesn't suit, they move it themselves. No other app we checked does all of that from a quote you wrote.
The books keep themselves.
Upload your bank statement and it matches the money to your invoices and expenses, then shows what to put aside for tax as the year goes.
On the Accounts plan
Checked on their own websites, 18 to 26 September 2026: Tradify, Powered Now, Fergus, ServiceM8, Jobber, Commusoft, YourTradebase, QuickPrice, VoxTrade and PriceUp. See it app by app.
The only bit you do
How a quote for stove and chimney specialists gets built.
Type in what the survey found: the stove, the metres of liner, the register plate, the hearth, the repointing. It comes back as priced lines with the liner, the cement and the lead listed against each one.
Type it or photo it
Photo the fireplace and the stack, or type up the survey. Stove, liner, hearth and chimney repairs come back as separate priced lines.
It measures, you check
Put a tape in shot, tap two points and it measures. Anything you didn't measure is marked for you to check.
Priced from your rates
Priced from your own list, not a generic calculator. Stove work starts you at £2,450 for a wood burner installed with a liner, £95/m for extra liner and a £280 day rate, and you change every figure to yours in the setup.

See the full stoves & chimneys price list, freeThe materials come with it
Every line carries its materials, so an install brings the liner, the register plate, the cowl and the fire cement, and a repoint brings the cement and the sand. One take off to price up before the job.
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.
After you tap Send
Plenty of apps stop at the quote.
Yours keeps going.
A quote is the easy half. The half that eats your evenings is the deposit, the diary, the invoice and the chasing. That is the half InstaQuote does for you.
The deposit
You set the deposit on the quote. The customer pays it by card from the link on their phone, with nothing to install, and it lands in your account through Stripe.
The booking
The deposit books the job into your next free day. They get the confirmation and the reminder, and they can move it themselves from the same link.
The calendar
Your week fills in as the deposits land, and it syncs to Google so the diary on your phone matches the one in the van.
The materials
The take off from the quote is ready to go to your merchants for a price, with your markup on it and kept on your side of the paperwork.
The invoice
Mark the job done and the invoice goes out on its own, priced off the quote with the extras you added on site.
The chasing
If it goes past its date, polite nudges go out in your name until it is paid. Four at most over three weeks, then it stops and tells you to give them a call. You are not the bad guy and you are not on the phone.
VAT and CIS
Work for a builder, a contractor or a developer and the CIS deduction is worked out on the quote and the invoice. If you're both VAT registered, tick the reverse charge too and the wording follows. Work straight for a homeowner and both stay off.
The books
On the Accounts plan (£109/mo) it keeps the books behind all of it: expenses, what each job actually made, and your VAT return figures ready for you or your accountant to file with HMRC.
Start free, no card
7 days of the whole thing, on real jobs, before you pick a plan.

Our word
No catches. Here's the small print, in big print.
No card to start.
Seven days on real jobs: quoting, jobs, invoices, chasing and the books. We don't ask for a card until you pick a plan.
Nothing taken on the quiet.
No card to start. At the end you pick a plan, or the account pauses with nothing deleted. The only thing we take in the free week is 2.9% of card payments you collect through the app.
No call to see a price.
Every price is on this page, in pounds. No demo to sit through first.
One price, not a price per head.
Accounts covers up to 10 crew logins for the same monthly price. Taking someone on doesn't put your bill up.
Leave any time, take the lot.
Every customer, quote, invoice, photo and receipt, downloaded in one file, on any plan, even after you've cancelled.
Plain pounds, no call with sales
7 days free, then from £49 a month.
No card to start the trial, so nothing can be taken by accident. Run real jobs through it for a week, then pick a plan. If you don't, your account pauses and nothing is deleted.

4 answers · No small print
The money questions (the trial, cancelling, your data) are answered on the homepage FAQ, and the how-to guides are in Answers.
Can it quote the stove, the liner and the building work together?
Yes. The stove, the liner per metre, the hearth, the opening and the flashing are separate lines, so the customer can see the install and the building work priced apart.
Can I take a deposit before I order the stove?
Yes, and most installers do. You set the deposit on the quote, they pay by card from the link on their phone, and the job books itself into your calendar.
Does it handle sweeps and services as well?
Yes. A sweep is a line off your price list, and you can set a yearly reminder so the customer hears from you before the season starts.
I work for builders on renovations. Does CIS get handled?
Work for a builder, a contractor or a developer and the CIS deduction is worked out on the quote and the invoice. If you're both VAT registered, tick the reverse charge too and the wording follows. Work straight for a homeowner and both stay off.
