YourTradebase alternative
InstaQuote vs YourTradebase.Said fairly.
UK quotes, jobs and job sheets, invoices with card payment, automatic reminders on overdue invoices, and Xero and QuickBooks sync. Here's where it's good, and where InstaQuote does the job differently.
Where YourTradebase is good
- A tidy UK job book, built for small trade firms.
- CIS and the reverse charge are built in.
- It chases overdue invoices, and you can export all your data.
Where InstaQuote is different
- Deposits are taken on invoices, not the quote, and their site doesn't show paying booking the job; with InstaQuote the deposit books the job.
- A customer picking or moving the date wasn't found on their site; with InstaQuote they can.
- Extra users cost £15 each; InstaQuote's Accounts plan covers up to 10 logins.
What it costs as you take people on
YourTradebase on their cheapest plan, against ours. £29 a month, plus £15 for each extra user.
| Crew | YourTradebase | InstaQuote |
|---|---|---|
| Just you | £29 a month | £49 a month |
| 3 of you | £59 a month | £109 a month |
| 5 of you | £89 a month | £109 a month |
| 10 of you | £164 a month | £109 a month |
On YourTradebase, once a customer accepts your quote you still book the job in, and move the date yourself when they ask. YourTradebase also costs more 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 18 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.
