What TradeTally does that Tradifydoesn't

No one-click SA103F export — your tax still lives in a separate accounting tool

No Self Assessment-ready figures, so you (or your accountant) still collate them

Requires a second paid subscription (Xero/FreeAgent) to actually do your tax

No simple sole-trader profit view — built around jobs and teams, not your bottom line

More to learn and pay for than a sole trader invoicing and filing their own return needs

Tradify limitations for tradespeople

  • No built-in accounting — needs Xero, QuickBooks, or FreeAgent bolted on for tax
  • No SA103F export or UK Self Assessment support
  • Job-management feature set is overkill for a solo invoice-and-expense workflow
  • Paying for Tradify plus a separate accounting tool roughly doubles your monthly cost
  • Per-user pricing adds up and is aimed at teams, not sole traders
