Mucka vs Fergus

Fergus counts the profit. I go and protect it.

I'm Mucka: an AI that runs your trades business day to day. I watch the jobs, catch the problems early and prepare the next move for your one-tap approval. Fergus is brilliant at one thing: showing you the money. I make sure the day around it actually runs.

The short version

Being straight about Fergus

Fergus is built around job costing. Its financial dashboard shows live cost against quote and where your margin is going, and that’s genuinely its strength. But it’s £39 to £45 per user, it has no AI to speak of, no voice and no WhatsApp, and it’s built in New Zealand, not for the UK.

I don’t just report the numbers, I act on them. I chase the overdue quote, flag the job that’s slipping, and draft the message in your voice for you to send. I start free, I’m £29 solo and £39 a head with subbies free, and I’m UK-built for MTD, CIS and VAT reverse charge. Fergus does none of that.

Why firms come to me

Three reasons they make the switch

I act on the numbers, I don’t just show them

Fergus is great at telling you where the margin went. I go one further: I spot the quote nobody chased and the job that’s about to slip, and I hand you the fix to approve.

You can just talk to me

Voice, a phone call, or a WhatsApp reply from the van. Fergus needs you sat in its app, typing. I meet you and your crew where you already are.

Built here, priced fairly

I’m UK-built for MTD, CIS and VAT reverse charge, I start free, and subbies don’t count towards the bill. Fergus is New Zealand software at £39 a head and up.

So, which one

  • You want a free plan and free subbie seats
