Tradify alternative
InstaQuote vs Tradify.Said fairly.
Job management for trades: quotes, scheduling, invoices, card payments, timesheets, and sync with Xero, QuickBooks and MYOB. Here's where it's good, and where InstaQuote does the job differently.
Where Tradify is good
- A strong all-rounder for running the diary and the team's timesheets.
- It follows up unanswered quotes and overdue invoices on its own.
- Well established, with a big user base.
Where InstaQuote is different
- An accepted quote is scheduled by hand; with InstaQuote the deposit books the job and the customer can move the date.
- Deposits go out as a separate invoice; InstaQuote takes the deposit on the quote itself.
- CIS and the reverse charge need Xero or Sage; InstaQuote works them out on any quote you tick, and the invoice follows.
- Tradify is priced per user; InstaQuote's Accounts plan covers up to 10 logins for one price.
What it costs as you take people on
Tradify on their cheapest plan, against ours. £34 a user on their cheapest plan, up to £44 a user on the dearest.

On Tradify, once a customer accepts your quote you still book the job in, and move the date yourself when they ask. Tradify also costs more at 5 and at 10. Our £109 covers up to ten logins and takes in the books, VAT and CIS, so what you're comparing isn't only the number. Their prices come from their own pricing page, checked 19 September 2026, and prices change: check theirs before you decide. All InstaQuote prices before VAT. We're not VAT registered, so no VAT is added.
