Why UK trades pick Cole.

One flat rate

£119/month covers your whole team on Pro. Tradify charges per user — at 6 people you're already paying ~£204/month.

UK-native, not adapted

CIS, Domestic Reverse Charge and correct VAT rates were the first features built — not bolted on later.

AI where it earns its keep

Predictive labour estimates from your own job history, not generic industry numbers. Plus AI scheduling suggestions.
