HAMAR vs Tradify.
Tradify is £34/user/mo (Lite) or £44/user/mo (Plus) for full job management. HAMAR is £6.99/mo or £79 one-off lifetimefor get-paid. Different products for different problems. Here’s how to choose.
Pick Tradify if…
You have a crew and jobs that need scheduling.
- ·You’re a team of 3+ and you need to schedule jobs, dispatch people to sites, track GPS, and see who’s where.
- ·You issue Gas Safe, electrical or PAT certificates and want them generated from your job data — Tradify’s certificates library is deep.
- ·You want Xero or QuickBooks sync for your accountant — Tradify integrates cleanly.
- ·Your jobs run over multiple days with multiple visits, and you need time tracking + timesheets across the crew.
- ·You can absorb the £34–44 per person per month because the coordination saves that much in wasted trips + missed jobs.
Pick HAMAR if…
You’re a solo trader or small crew who just wants to get paid.
- ·You’re solo or a crew of 1–5, jobs live in your head or on WhatsApp, and a full scheduling system is more machinery than you need.
- ·Chasing late payment is the pain, not coordinating a crew. HAMAR’s cadence runs day 7 / 14 / 21 out of the box; Tradify has invoice reminders but chase-first-thinking isn’t its identity.
- ·The per-user math kills Tradify for solo. £34/user × 12 months = £408/year. HAMAR is £6.99/mo (£83.88/year) — or £79 once for lifetime. Roughly one-fifth of Tradify Lite’s annual cost.
- ·You want quote → invoice → chase → get paid to be one clean flow, not a section of a larger job system.
- ·You want trades-flavoured admin — site sign-in QR, insurance vault, tax pot, WhatsApp share — without paying for the scheduling depth you won’t use.

The per-user math
One tradesperson: £408/year vs £79 once.
Tradify Lite is £34/user/month. That’s £408 per user per year. A three-person crew? £1,224 a year. Five people? £2,040.
HAMAR is £6.99/mo (£83.88/year) or £79 one-off for lifetime access as a Founding Member. Single-user today — if your crew grows, we’ll build multi-user seats without switching to per-user pricing.
Tradify is worth every penny if you actually need job scheduling. If you just need to send quotes, chase invoices and get paid, you’re paying for a system 5–10× the size of the problem.
