Common questions
Fergus is a full job management platform — scheduling, timesheets, invoicing, customer management and asset tracking. MyQS is a specialist AI quoting and compliance tool. Fergus quotes require manual line-by-line entry. MyQS generates a priced, itemised quote from a site photo in 15 seconds — with profit margins, VAT, UK regional pricing and your branding applied automatically. MyQS also includes the full CDM 2015 compliance suite (RAMS, H&S Plans, Method Statements, COSHH and Construction Phase Plans) which Fergus does not offer. Many contractors use both — Fergus for business management, MyQS for winning work and staying compliant.
Yes, significantly. MyQS starts at £19/month (Starter) with flat rate pricing — not per user. Fergus starts from £49/month per user, so costs multiply with your team. A 3-person team pays £89/month on MyQS (Business) vs from £147/month on Fergus. MyQS also offers a free forever plan with 1 quote per month.
Yes — and many contractors do. Fergus handles job management, scheduling, timesheets and invoicing. MyQS handles quoting and CDM compliance. They solve different problems and work independently of each other. As MyQS adds invoicing, scheduling and accounting sync (coming soon), it will replace the need for both.
Not yet. Fergus does job scheduling, timesheets, invoicing, customer management and asset tracking — features MyQS is actively building. Where MyQS already wins is AI quoting (photo to quote in 15 seconds) and CDM compliance documentation — neither of which Fergus offers.
No. Fergus uses manual quote entry where you type each line item and price individually. MyQS uses AI to analyse site photos and generate a fully priced, itemised quote in 15 seconds with UK regional pricing, profit margins and VAT applied automatically.
