Choosing the right job management platform for your trade business is a big decision. Here is an honest, side-by-side look at how TradeyHub and Powered Now compare on the things that actually matter day-to-day.
Built in the UK for plumbers, electricians, builders and multi-trade firms who need more than just a job logger. TradeyHub combines CRM, quoting, invoicing, scheduling, communications and reporting in one platform.
Powered Now is a UK-built job management app focused on paperwork: quotes, invoices, certificates and scheduling. It is well-regarded for its compliance forms (Gas Safety, Electrical, Risk Assessments) and Making Tax Digital readiness.
How the two platforms stack up across the areas that affect your day-to-day operations and growth.

Why TradeyHub is a strong alternative to Powered Now.
TradeyHub gives you a real sales pipeline — not just a customer list — so you can track and close more enquiries.
Email, SMS and Messenger in one place on every plan, not gated behind a higher tier.
Branded customer documents, marketing graphics and a customer portal — included rather than upsold.
Both are UK-built platforms aimed at trade businesses. Powered Now focuses heavily on paperwork (forms, certificates, invoices). TradeyHub adds a full CRM, unified inbox, multi-engineer scheduling and a Design Studio on top of the paperwork basics.
