Mucka is a voice-first job app for all UK trades: you talk, and its AI assistant writes quotes and invoices. It links to Xero and QuickBooks and has a free version, with paid plans from £29 a month.
TileIQ is built only for tilers. It measures rooms (including from a Leica Disto), works out tiles, adhesive, grout and tanking, and runs the job through to invoicing and review requests. Its founding offer is £9.99 a month.
We make TileIQ, so we're not neutral. We've kept this comparison to facts we could check. Both apps change often, so check their websites for the latest details before you decide.

Where TileIQ is a good fit
A tiling quote lives or dies on the measurements and materials. TileIQ is built around that:
- Quick quote: when you just need a price fast, without setting up a full job.
- Measure once: enter each wall and floor, or send measurements straight from a Leica Disto.
- Materials worked out for you: tiles, boxes, adhesive, grout, tanking and prep, with wastage for the layout.
- Your rates, every time: labour per m² for walls and floors, so quotes are consistent.
- The whole job: enquiries, calendar, invoices to Xero, FreeAgent or QuickBooks, then review requests and a portfolio website.
- On site without signal: it works offline and syncs later.
Price
Mucka has a free version, and its paid plans start at £29 a month for a solo tradesperson and £40 for teams. TileIQ's founding offer is £9.99 a month or £79.99 a year, kept while you stay subscribed, with your first quote free and a 30-day trial. Check both for current prices.
Which should you choose?
- You're a tiler and want the measuring and materials done for you: TileIQ.
- You measure with a Leica Disto: TileIQ.
Both let you try for free, so the best test is to quote the same real job in each.
