Why UK trades switch from Tradify
Every person is another £34 to £44
Tradify charges per user, so a partner who does the invoicing costs as much as an engineer on the tools.
No free plan
Tradify has a 14-day trial. FieldHive has a free plan with no time limit and no card.
No customer portal found
FieldHive customers view, sign and pay quotes and invoices from a secure link, on the free plan.
What is Tradify?

Plans are £34, £37 and £44 per user, per month, with a 14-day trial and no free plan. Text-message quotes and reminders are 10p a message.
Switch, or stay with Tradify?
Switch to FieldHive if…
- One person runs the quotes, bookings and invoices
- You want one price for the business, not per person
- You want card payments and Xero or QuickBooks on the free plan
- You quote from a price list and bill bigger jobs in stages
Stay with Tradify if…
- Two or more engineers need their own login and schedule today
- You use timesheets and purchase orders inside the job
- Your team is trained on it and the per-user cost is fine
Tradify alternatives: 5 options compared
FieldHive plus the other apps UK trades look at, on each company’s published prices.
ServiceM8
Teams where several people need their own login. ServiceM8 charges by jobs completed, so every paid plan includes unlimited staff.
Powered Now
UK trades who want CIS paperwork and certificates handled inside the app, from a UK company with UK support. Priced per user, so the bill climbs with the team.
Simpro
Larger contractors. Simpro's own site says five to 200 staff. Worth it if you need stock control, purchasing, project tendering or asset maintenance — none of which FieldHive does.
Jobber
Teams who want a polished customer-facing experience. Bills in US dollars and each plan caps how many users you get, which is worth checking before you commit as a UK business.
