The Job Planner vs Tradify

Tradify is a well-established, easy-to-learn job app with native mobile apps, live accounting sync and GPS staff tracking, and it suits small teams that mainly quote, schedule and invoice. The Job Planner suits certificate-led gas, heating and electrical firms that want AI on every plan, planned maintenance and a customer portal, and don't want to pay for office logins. Tradify's app needs a live internet connection; ours works offline.

Switching from Tradify

Tradify lets you export Customers and Customer Sites (as well as jobs, quotes, invoices, suppliers and price lists) from its help-centre export guides. Its own help centre says job notes, files and photos aren't included, and forms, certificates, service reminders and recurring job templates can't be bulk-exported, so download any certificate PDFs you need before you leave. Our importer (Settings → Import) accepts generic CSV files of customers, sites and assets, lets you map each column to our fields and shows you what will be created before anything is saved. Or send us the files and we'll do the import free. Add each asset's last service and next due date in the assets file so renewal reminders work from day one.

Our importer recognises the column names most job systems use, and you map anything else by hand in a couple of clicks. Or book a call and we'll do the import for you.

Frequently asked questions

Will my Tradify certificates come across?+

Not as live records. Tradify says forms and certificates can't be bulk-exported, so keep the PDFs you've already issued. Put each asset's next due date in the import and our reminders pick up from there.

Do I lose live accounting sync?+

No: invoices, contacts and payments sync live with Xero, QuickBooks Online or Sage on every plan.

Is the price difference real?+

It depends on your team. For one person Tradify Pro (£37) is cheaper than our £45. Once you have office staff or more engineers, our £30 per engineer with free office seats usually comes in lower. Use the calculator with your own numbers.
