Joblogic is a long-established, Birmingham-built field-service platform with deep gas and F-Gas certificate workflows and planned maintenance for compliance-heavy HVAC and refrigeration contractors. Traddie is a simpler, modern tool for domestic sole traders and small teams who mainly want to quote, invoice and get paid. Here is the side-by-side.
Traddie is the best choice for domestic sole traders and small teams; Joblogic is built for commercial and FM contractors with heavy compliance workloads.
Choose Traddie if you want:
Choose something else if: you need F-Gas records, bespoke commercial compliance forms, asset histories or planned maintenance across many sites. Joblogic does those and Traddie does not.

If neither feels like the right fit, these are the options UK trade businesses most often shortlist:
#1
UK-built quote-to-payment software with VAT threshold tracking and CIS deductions included as standard, gas, oil and electrical certificates on your phone, and card payments so customers pay the same day. Best for UK sole traders and small teams who want one simple tool rather than a heavy field-service platform or a separate invoicing app.
#2
London-built field-service platform aimed at 5–100 engineer firms running planned maintenance, service contracts and asset tracking. Powerful, but more than a sole trader needs and priced per user.
#3
New-Zealand-built job-tracking and quoting tool, widely used in the UK. Strong for fast quoting and teams, though UK VAT/CIS sits in your accounting software rather than being native.
Joblogic earns its place with commercial and FM contractors who live in F-Gas records, asset histories and planned maintenance. If that is not you — if you are a domestic sole trader or small team who wants clean quotes, CP12s and EICRs done on your phone, fast invoices and same-day payment — Traddie does that with VAT and CIS built in and far less to learn.
