The Best Tradify Alternative for UK Tradespeople
TradePlan offers a better way to manage your trade business. Built specifically for UK trades, with advanced planning features and equipment scheduling that Tradify doesn't offer.
Why Choose TradePlan Over Tradify?
Advanced Planning Focus
While Tradify focuses on "job management," TradePlan emphasizes planning - helping you plan ahead and avoid conflicts before they happen. Our drag-and-drop planner is unique in the market.
Equipment Scheduling
TradePlan includes comprehensive equipment scheduling that Tradify doesn't emphasize. Schedule tools, vehicles, and equipment alongside jobs - all in one visual calendar.
UK-First Approach
TradePlan is built specifically for UK tradespeople, with UK pricing, UK-specific features, and a focus on the UK market. No compromise on features for international markets.
Independent & Trade-Focused
Tradify was acquired by Access Group in 2024, moving from an independent trade-focused company to part of a larger enterprise software suite. TradePlan remains independent and 100% focused on serving UK trades, not part of a larger enterprise software company.

What Makes TradePlan Different?
1. Planning vs Job Management
While Tradify focuses on managing jobs that are already happening, TradePlan helps you plan ahead. Our advanced planner lets you visualize your schedule, see conflicts before they happen, and optimize your workflow. It's not just about tracking jobs - it's about planning them better.
2. Equipment Scheduling
If you manage tools, vehicles, or equipment, TradePlan's equipment scheduling is a game-changer. Schedule equipment alongside jobs, see availability at a glance, and avoid double-booking. Tradify doesn't emphasize this feature, but it's essential for many trade businesses.
3. UK-First Development
TradePlan is built specifically for UK tradespeople. We don't compromise features for international markets. Everything is designed with UK trades in mind - from pricing in GBP to UK-specific workflows and features.
4. Independent & Trade-Focused (Not Acquired by Enterprise Software)
Tradify was acquired by Access Group in 2024, a large enterprise software company. This acquisition moved Tradify from being an independent, trade-focused company to part of a larger enterprise software suite. When trade software companies are acquired by enterprise software providers, priorities often shift toward broader market needs rather than specific trade requirements.
TradePlan remains independent and 100% focused on serving UK tradespeople. We're not part of a larger enterprise suite - we're built for trades, by people who understand trades. This independence means:
- Every feature is built specifically for UK tradespeople
- Fast development and quick response to customer feedback
- Competitive pricing designed for tradespeople, not enterprises
- Direct customer relationships without corporate bureaucracy
- Long-term commitment to the trade industry
