Tradify is well-built trade software — but it charges per user and has no geographic slot-finding. If you want to stop driving in circles, there's a better fit.

Reasons to switch
Tradify charges per user — the monthly cost grows with every person added. Job Bookers is £19.99 flat.
Find the Gap doesn't exist in Tradify. There's no way to ask the app "show me available slots near this postcode." Route planning is manual.
Tradify is built for quoting and job costing — powerful if you need it, but significant overhead if you just need a smart diary and customer records.
Job Bookers has a longer free trial — 30 days vs 14, no card required.
In fairness
We're not the right fit for everyone. Here's when Tradify genuinely makes more sense.
You need fast trade-specific quoting
You need job costing and timesheet management
You need compliance certificate templates (electrical, gas)
Questions
Yes. Tradify charges £34 per user per month, so the bill grows with your headcount. Job Bookers is a flat £19.99/month.
No — Job Bookers focuses on scheduling, diary management, and invoicing rather than quoting. If you need detailed job costing and quote templates, Tradify is genuinely better for that.
Find the Gap lets you pick an area and a day, then shows you the available slots that make geographic sense — grouped by location to minimise drive time. Tradify has no equivalent feature.
The Access Group, a UK enterprise software company, acquired Tradify in October 2024. It's now UK-owned but still NZ-built and priced per user.
