Speak to Quote vs Tradify: which fits how you work?
They are different kinds of product, so this is an honest comparison rather than a scorecard. Tradify is a full job-management suite — scheduling, timesheets, job tracking, teams — with quoting and invoicing inside it. Speak to Quote does one job: it turns what you say into a priced quote, estimate or invoice, and gets it into the customer's hands before you leave site.
What each one is
Tradify describes itself as job-management software for electricians, plumbers, gas engineers, HVAC and other trade businesses. Its advertised feature set covers quoting, estimating, scheduling, timesheets, subcontractor management, job tracking, invoicing and online payments — the whole running of a trade business, priced per user. Dictating a job does not appear anywhere in that feature set.
Speak to Quote is the paperwork a job starts and ends with, by voice. You say the job as you walk it; the AI turns it into line items priced from your own price book; you check it and send a link the customer can accept online. The accepted quote becomes the invoice — bank details, due date, deposit, CIS — without typing it a second time. There is no scheduling, no timesheets, no team management, on purpose.

When Tradify is the better choice
- You have people to schedule
The moment you are juggling a second van, subcontractors and a diary, a job-management suite earns its keep. That is what Tradify is for, and quoting is one part of it.
- You want one system for everything
Job tracking from enquiry to payment, timesheets feeding invoices, everything in one place — a suite does that; a quoting tool does not.
- Per-user pricing works in your favour
If the software runs your whole operation, paying per person using it can be fair value. It is only a poor fit when one person needs one job done.
When Speak to Quote is
- You work solo, or close to it
No per-user maths, nothing to administer. One flat price — £11.45 a month on Starter — and the quote is done before you have left the drive.
- Quoting is the bottleneck, not the diary
If jobs are lost to the quote that never got typed up, the fix is not a bigger system to type into. Say the job once; send it before the customer has met the next person quoting.
- You want the paperwork, not the platform
Quote, estimate, invoice, acceptance link, polite automatic reminders you switch on only if you want them — and nothing else to learn, set up or pay for.
- You want to try before anyone bills you
The free quotes need no card and do not expire after a fortnight. If it does not stick with how you work, it cost nothing.
Can you run both?
Nothing stops you: they do not compete for the same minutes of your day. Some jobs need a diary and a crew; every job needs a quote. If you already run a suite and the quoting part of it is where the typing piles up, dictating the quote here and sending the customer the acceptance link costs a flat £11.45 a month to find out whether it pays for itself.
