Tradify is built for the crew. MarginTap is built for the van.

£8.49 flat vs £34+VAT per user

Tradify Lite is £34+VAT per user per month — £40.80 all-in. A 3-person crew is £34×3 = £102+VAT = £122/month, every month. Pro is £37×3 = £133/month inc VAT. MarginTap is £8.49/month flat, single-user, all in. Same job, fewer noughts.

Quotes and invoices, not CRM + GPS + crew management

Tradify does scheduling, dispatch, GPS tracking, timesheets, crew management, CRM and SmartRead AI for bills. MarginTap doesn't try to be FSM. It does quotes, invoices, the client diary and getting paid — for a sole-trader sparky, plumber, chippy or painter. If you've got a 5-van outfit with a dispatcher, Tradify Plus earns its £44. If it's just you and the tools, MarginTap fits the van.

MTD-live, CIS Reverse Charge stamped

MarginTap keeps the digital records HMRC requires under Making Tax Digital for Income Tax — live since 6 April 2026 for sole traders over £50,000. Subcontractor invoices auto-stamp the HMRC wording 'Reverse charge: Customer to pay the VAT to HMRC' per HMRC Notice 735. Tradify is MTD-ready too — the difference is the per-seat bill, not the compliance.

MarginTap vs Tradify — your questions

Can I import from Tradify?
Yes. Export your clients, suppliers and price list from Tradify as CSV and drag the files into MarginTap. Open quotes and unpaid invoices come over with status preserved. Takes an evening. No card for the free trial — run the import, eyeball the data, then cancel Tradify if it stacks up.
I have a 2-3 person crew. Which is cheaper?
Tradify Lite is £34+VAT per user — a 3-person crew is £102+VAT = £122/month. Pro is £37×3 = £133/month inc VAT. Plus is £44×3 = £158/month inc VAT. MarginTap is £8.49 flat regardless of crew size. Over a year, that's the difference between £100 and £1,460.
Does MarginTap do scheduling and dispatch like Tradify?
No. Tradify has a proper job board, drag-and-drop scheduling, GPS, timesheets and crew management — built to dispatch a fleet. MarginTap does the client diary, the quote, the invoice and the call-out history. If you need a dispatcher's screen, stay on Tradify. If you're the driver, the dispatcher and the sparky in the same overalls, MarginTap fits.
Is MarginTap MTD-compliant like Tradify?
Yes. MarginTap holds the digital records HMRC requires under Making Tax Digital for Income Tax, which has been live since 6 April 2026 for sole traders earning over £50,000. £30,000 threshold from April 2027, £20,000 from April 2028. Same compliance footing as Tradify — a quarter of the bill, no per-seat.
What about CIS Reverse Charge?
MarginTap auto-stamps subcontractor invoices with the HMRC Notice 735 wording 'Reverse charge: Customer to pay the VAT to HMRC', shows the VAT amount due without collecting it, and feeds the records into MTD quarterly digital submissions as required from April 2026. HMRC has stepped up enforcement on Reverse Charge wording — MarginTap handles it without you typing it.
Should I switch if I'm already paying for Tradify?
Depends what you use. If you're paying £40.80 a month for Tradify Lite per user but you mostly send quotes, raise invoices and chase deposits, MarginTap saves you ~£380/year per user and does the four things just as well. If you live in the job board, the GPS map and the crew timesheets, stay on Tradify — that's what the per-seat bill is buying. Try the free trial before you decide.
