The short version
- Each has a real cost: Joblogic the published £45 per user per month covers only the Standard tier, and the planned maintenance contracts most buyers come for sit on Premium, which is quote only, so the advertised price is not the price a maintenance contractor pays.; Tradify pricing is flat per user with no volume tiering, so a twenty person firm pays twenty times the headline rate and the economics get worse, not better, as you grow into the top of its stated market.
- They diverge on capability: Joblogic covers PPM contract scheduling, Tradify covers Quoting.
- Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

- A builder wants to send professionally branded quotes fast enough to be first to respond, where the win rate depends on turnaround more than on document sophistication.not Joblogic
Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Joblogic
- The published £45 per user per month covers only the Standard tier, and the planned maintenance contracts most buyers come for sit on Premium, which is quote only, so the advertised price is not the price a maintenance contractor pays.
- Users are counted as office staff, engineers and managers alike, so a business with many part-time or seasonal engineers pays full seats for people who log a handful of jobs a month.
- The entry price is billed annually, so there is no low-commitment monthly option to trial the product properly at scale.
- Compliance certificates, terminology and accounting integrations are written for the UK and Ireland, which makes the product a poor fit outside those markets despite being sold internationally.
- The mobile app carries a lot of configurable form logic, and engineers on older devices report slow loading and sync on jobs with large certificate sets, which costs time on site.
Tradify
- Pricing is flat per user with no volume tiering, so a twenty person firm pays twenty times the headline rate and the economics get worse, not better, as you grow into the top of its stated market.
- The advertised per-user price excludes SMS, which is charged per message, the Instant Website add-on at roughly ten pounds a month, and Stripe card processing fees, so a Pro seat sending two hundred texts a month can cost close to double the sticker price.
- There is no free tier and no permanently free single-user plan, so a sole trader testing the water is paying from the end of the trial.
- Inventory and stock control are minimal: it can bundle kits and raise purchase orders but will not track stock levels on vans or in a store, which rules it out for firms carrying real parts inventory.
- It has no service agreement, recurring maintenance contract or flat-rate pricebook functionality, so HVAC and other maintenance-contract businesses outgrow it quickly and end up moving to FieldEdge or ServiceTitan.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Joblogic: Do I need the Premium plan?
If you run planned maintenance contracts, purchase orders or timesheets, yes. Standard handles reactive jobs, quotes and invoices only.
Tradify: How much does Tradify actually cost per month?
Around 47 US dollars per user per month on Lite, 51 on Pro and 61 on Plus, or roughly 34, 37 and 44 pounds in the UK. Multiply by every user, then add SMS and any add-ons.
Joblogic: Are subcontractors charged as users?
No. Joblogic counts office staff, engineers and managers as users; customers and subcontractors are not counted as seats.
Tradify: Does Tradify replace my accounting software?
No. It syncs invoices and contacts to Xero, QuickBooks Online or MYOB, and you still need one of them.
Joblogic: Does it work offline?
Yes, the engineer app completes jobs, forms and signatures without signal and syncs later, which matters in plant rooms and basements.
Tradify: Is there a setup or implementation fee?
No. Unlike the enterprise field service platforms there is no onboarding charge, and most firms configure it themselves.
Joblogic: Can it issue gas and electrical certificates?
Yes, statutory UK certificate templates are built in, and the top tier adds a form builder for your own documents.
Tradify: How big a team can it handle?
It is designed for roughly one to twenty users. Beyond that the flat per-user pricing and the lack of dispatch optimisation and service agreements start to hurt.
