Frequently asked questions

TradeScheduler is a job management and invoicing app for UK tradespeople. It keeps your jobs, customers, quotes, invoices, online payments and expenses in one place, in your browser on your phone, tablet or computer.

No. TradeScheduler runs in your browser and there's nothing to download. If you want quicker access, you can add it to your phone's home screen from your browser menu, but it works without that too.

No. You create your account and use every feature for 14 days with no card. You only enter card details if and when you decide to subscribe.

Minutes. You add your business details once, then add your first job and send your first invoice. There's no import or migration step to get through — most people start with tomorrow's jobs and build from there.

Any phone, tablet or computer with a modern browser, such as Chrome, Safari or Edge. It's designed mobile-first, so it's comfortable to use on site, one-handed.

You get 14 days with every feature unlocked, with no card needed. When the trial ends, choose Starter at £12.99 a month or Pro at £22.99 a month — or do nothing and your account becomes read-only.

Your account becomes read-only: nothing is deleted, and you can still view and download all your jobs, invoices and expenses. To keep adding jobs and invoices, choose a plan. If you don't, we keep your data for 60 days after the trial ends and email you seven days before it is removed — then the account and everything in it is deleted. A backup copy may be kept for a short period before it rotates out.

Both include unlimited jobs and customers, quotes, invoicing, online payments and expenses. Starter is £12.99 a month with 25 AI quotes, 10 receipt scans and 25 message reads. Pro is £22.99 a month with fair-use AI, and adds VAT report export and invoices without the TradeScheduler footer. See full pricing.
