Common questions

Tradify is a full job management platform — scheduling, invoicing, timesheets and CRM. MyQS is a specialist AI quoting and compliance tool. Tradify quotes require manual line-by-line entry from a cost book. 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 Tradify does not offer at all. Many contractors use both — Tradify for business management, MyQS for winning work and staying compliant.

For a solo trader the prices are similar — MyQS from £39/month, Tradify from £34–£44/month. But Tradify charges per user, so costs multiply with your team. A 3-person team pays £79/month on MyQS (Pro Plus) vs £102–£132/month on Tradify. The flat rate model makes MyQS significantly better value for any team of 2 or more.

Yes — and many contractors do. Tradify handles job management, scheduling 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. Tradify does job scheduling, timesheets, invoicing and accounting sync — 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 Tradify offers.

Every AI-generated quote in MyQS is fully editable before you send it. Change any line item, adjust quantities, add or remove tasks, toggle profit % and VAT on or off, and apply your company branding — logo, colours and cover page. The AI gives you a starting point in 15 seconds. You stay in full control of what goes to your client.
