Tradify's UK page lists prices per user per month and doesn't say whether VAT is included. Vixir's paid plans are bought in the iPhone app, where App Store prices include VAT. Prices change, so check their page before you decide.
Where Tradify is stronger
- Direct two-way sync with Xero and QuickBooks.
- A bigger library of ready-made forms and certificates.
- More tools for bigger teams, such as timesheets and job costing.
Where Vixir is stronger
- A free plan that's enough for most one-person businesses.
- One price for the business, not per person, so a team of six pays £24 a month, not hundreds.
- Online booking link, so customers can book you from your website or Facebook page.
- Your own words throughout: call jobs, quotes and customers whatever you call them.
