Been building tools for a while. Most of them never make it past the "spent a weekend on this" stage. This one I kept using, so I cleaned it up and put it out.
My brother-in-law is a plumber. He's been tracking jobs in a notes app and invoicing from a Word template he emailed to himself four years ago. Not ideal, but functional.
I showed him Tradify. £47/month. He used it for two weeks and cancelled. Too much going on - route planning, team timesheets, a whole CRM. He's one person with a van and a phone. He doesn't need any of that.
Jobber is £49. Same problem. They've both moved upmarket, which makes commercial sense - bigger teams, more seats, higher ARR. But it leaves a gap.
There are loads of solo tradespeople. One person, no staff, doing all the quoting and invoicing themselves after a day's work. Most of them just need a list of jobs, client contact details, and a way to send an invoice that doesn't involve a Word template from 2019. That's it.
So I built that.
- Add clients
- Log jobs against them
- Generate a PDF invoice in one click
- All in the browser, nothing to install
It's £12/month. There's one user seat because you're a solo tradesperson. No team features, no route optimisation. None of the CRM stuff. Just the things you'd be keeping in a notebook anyway.
If you're invoicing from Word or sending "I'll get that invoice over tonight" to clients every single week, give it a go.
