SortedMate vs Tradify, ServiceM8, Jobber and Powered Now
These are good apps. Here's where SortedMate is different, and where one of them might suit you better. The prices are what each company publishes for UK customers, so you can check every number yourself.

Worked example
What a team of 5 pays each month
A team of 5 on SortedMate Crew pays £49.99 a month. On Tradify Pro that's 5 × £28, so £140. On Powered Now it's 5 × £28 at their lowest per-user price, so £140, rising to £200 on their top tier. Jobber lists about £134 a month for 5 users.
Over a year that's £599.88 on Crew against £1,680 on Tradify Pro. ServiceM8 prices by how many jobs you do rather than how many people you have, so it depends on your workload.

How it compares
Where SortedMate is different
Weekly billing
Pay £5.99 a week for Solo if that's how your cash comes in. Monthly and yearly are there too, and you can switch between them.
WhatsApp Capture
Forward a customer's WhatsApp message and it becomes an enquiry with the name, address, phone number and job filled in. If your enquiries arrive on WhatsApp, this saves typing every one out.
Built in the UK for UK trades
VAT, CIS and GBP are part of the app rather than settings you hunt for. Support is a person in the same time zone who built it.
Pay Now links on every invoice
Turn on SortedPay, which is powered by Stripe, and every invoice carries a Pay Now link. Card payments mark the invoice paid on their own. Bank details stay on the invoice for customers who prefer a transfer.
Fair's fair
Where they might suit you better
I'd rather you picked the right app than picked SortedMate and left.
Very large teams
Firm covers up to 15 people and Custom goes beyond that. If you're running 40 engineers with a dispatch desk, Tradify, ServiceM8 and Jobber have been doing teams that size for longer.
ServiceM8's iOS depth
ServiceM8 has put years into its iPhone and iPad app. If your whole operation runs on Apple devices and you want that depth now, it's worth a look.
Jobber's North American features
Jobber is built first for the US and Canada, with features aimed at that market. If you work there, or want a large company behind the app, it's a fair choice.
Powered Now's certificate forms and HMRC submission
Powered Now has certificate forms built in and submits to HMRC today. SortedMate's own Making Tax Digital submission is still in development, so if you need that this quarter, they have it now.
