Powered Now is a UK job app for all trades, with quotes, invoices, a diary, Making Tax Digital and, on higher plans, certificates and team tools. It costs from £28 a month plus VAT.
TileIQ is built only for tilers: it measures rooms, works out tiles, adhesive, grout and tanking, and takes 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 to facts from each company's own website. Check Powered Now's site for the latest prices before you decide.
