Comparing QuotePilot with Powered Now for UK tradespeople. Features, pricing, voice quoting, and which app saves you the most time on quotes.
Powered Now is one of the few field service apps built specifically for the UK market, and that shows in its certificate features — it handles Gas Safe documents, electrical certificates, and PAT test reports, which almost no other app does natively. For a gas engineer or electrician who spends significant time managing compliance paperwork, that alone is valuable. But the quoting experience is manual and dated. There's no voice input, no AI line item generation, no customer payment portal, and the mobile app has received mixed reviews on speed and reliability. If compliance documentation is your biggest pain point, Powered Now has an edge. If it's quoting speed and professionalism, QuotePilot is significantly faster.

UK gas engineers, electricians, and heating engineers who need to generate compliance certificates (Gas Safe, NICEIC, PAT testing) alongside quotes and invoices.
UK tradespeople who need to quote fast, look professional, and get paid online — and don't need to generate regulatory compliance certificates.
Yes — that's one of its main advantages. Powered Now generates Gas Safe records, electrical certificates, and PAT test reports natively. QuotePilot doesn't cover compliance certificates; it's focused on the quoting, customer portal, and payment side.
No. You type job descriptions and line items manually in Powered Now. QuotePilot lets you describe the job by voice and generates the full quote automatically — useful when you're on a job site with dirty hands.
Not directly. Powered Now sends quotes as PDFs; customers can't accept or pay online through the quote itself. QuotePilot includes a customer portal where clients view, accept, and pay the deposit without you chasing.
It depends on whether compliance documents are your main pain point. If you need Water Regs or Gas Safe certificates, Powered Now is worth considering. If your main need is faster quotes and online payments, QuotePilot at £7.99/month is the better fit.
Voice-to-quote in 60 seconds. Customer portal, online payments, and automated follow-ups included.
Free plan includes 3 quotes/month. Trade plan from £7.99/month.
