Tradify and Joblogic are built for very different businesses. Tradify is a New-Zealand-built quoting and job-tracking tool popular with UK sole traders and small teams; Joblogic is a Birmingham-built field-service platform for compliance-heavy HVAC, refrigeration and facilities contractors. Small trades comparing them are usually asking one thing: can I get my compliance paperwork done without buying an enterprise platform? Here is the side-by-side, plus Traddie.
For small UK trades who need quoting and compliance certificates without an enterprise platform, Traddie is the best choice of the three.
Choose Traddie if you want:
Choose something else if: you are a commercial or FM contractor needing F-Gas records, asset histories and planned maintenance (Joblogic), or you only quote and never issue certificates and already use Tradify.
We make Traddie, so weigh our verdict with that in mind. The side-by-side below is based on each product's publicly described features, which change over time.

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
UK-built app strong on certificates and forms (Gas Safety, electrical, risk assessments) and offline working in areas with no signal. A good fit for trades whose main need is on-site paperwork.
If you are a small trade who needs compliance paperwork, you do not have to choose between a quoting app with light certificates and a mid-market compliance platform. Traddie issues the domestic certificates most small trades need, including CP12s, Benchmark, OFTEC oil forms, EICRs, EICs, minor works and PAT, alongside quoting, invoicing and card payments, with VAT and CIS built in.
