Mucka vs Tradify
Tradify logs the work. I run the business around it.
I'm Mucka: an AI that runs your trades business, not just another place to type it up. I watch your jobs, flag the problems before they bite, and line up the next move for you to approve with one tap. Tradify is solid software. I'm a different animal.
Being straight about Tradify
Tradify is a mature, well-built job manager with proper team tools: timesheets, purchase orders, job costing. If you've a growing crew that lives in forms and menus, it does the job. But it charges per user from £34 a head, and everything still needs someone to sit and type it in.
I start free and I'm £29 for a solo owner, £39 a head for a team, and your subbies never count towards the bill. More to the point: I do the chasing, the flagging and the drafting myself, then wait for your one tap. You can also just talk to me, or reply on WhatsApp. Tradify can't do any of that.

Three reasons they make the switch
I work the jobs, I don’t just store them
Tradify waits for you to fill it in. I watch what’s happening, spot the job that’s about to run late or the quote nobody chased, and hand you the fix to approve. You tap once, I do it.
Your crew is already on WhatsApp
No new app for your engineers to learn, no fresh login to forget. They message me where they already are. Tradify needs everyone in its own app.
£29 flat, and your subbies are free
Tradify bills every head from £34 a month. I’m £29 for a solo owner, £39 a head for a team, and subcontractor seats don’t count. On a small crew that’s real money.
Be honest with yourself
Choose Tradify if…
- You have a growing team and lean on timesheets, purchase orders and job costing
- You want detailed cost tracking across multiple staff
- You prefer a traditional, form-and-menu app and don’t mind paying per head
Come to me if…
- You want me to chase the quotes and flag the problems, not just file them
- You’d rather talk to me or reply on WhatsApp than tap through screens
- You want UK-built software that’s ready for MTD, CIS and VAT reverse charge
- You want a free plan and no per-seat surprises
