How we evaluate software
Transparent criteria, written down in advance
Every comparison uses the same documented criteria, weighted towards what matters to a small UK trade business — not to the biggest commission.
Read our full methodology- 01
Suitability for UK trades
Does it handle the way UK trade and service businesses actually work — call-outs, recurring visits, quotes, VAT, CIS where relevant?
- 02
Ease of use
Can a busy owner set it up and use it day to day, including on a phone, without technical help?
- 03
True cost
The real yearly cost for a small business, including renewal prices, add-ons, transaction and SMS fees.
- 04
Relevant features
Features that help win enquiries and run jobs — not the longest feature list.
- 05
Free trial or free plan
Whether you can try it properly before paying, and how easy it is to cancel.
- 06
Main limitations
The biggest drawback for a trade business, stated plainly. Every product has one.
No paid placements
Software companies can’t pay to appear on our pages or to rank higher. If that ever changes for a page, it will say so at the top.
We show our working
Each article says how it was researched. Hands-on testing is only claimed when it actually happened.
Dated and kept current
Prices and features carry the date we last checked them, and articles show when they were last updated.
Is UK Trade Software independent?
Yes. No software company pays to be included or to rank higher. We may earn affiliate commission on some links, but our editorial policy keeps commission out of our recommendations.
How do you make money?
Through affiliate links: if you buy software after clicking one, the provider may pay us a commission at no extra cost to you. Pages with affiliate links say so clearly. Read our affiliate disclosure.
Have you tested every product you write about?
Not always, and we will tell you which is which. Each article states how it was researched — hands-on use, vendor documentation, or both. We never claim testing that did not happen.
Are your prices up to date?
Every price we show carries the date we last checked it. Software prices change often, so always confirm on the provider’s own website before buying.
