Every card has the same four parts: who it suits, the published price, what it does for you, and one watch-out.
1
FieldHive
Suits: Sole-trader electricians and owner-run firms of up to about 3 people, where you do the quoting, booking and invoicing.
Published price
Free plan · Business £14.99 a month or £144 a year, one price for the whole business.
- Quote → booking → invoice from one customer record. No retyping on the drive home.
- EIC, EICR, minor works and isolation certificates as free web forms on fieldhive.com. No account needed, and the A4 PDF is free to download.
- Xero and QuickBooks sync with CIS, the customer portal and Stripe card payments, all on the free plan.
- Stop paying any time and you keep the free plan. Your quotes and invoices stay yours to export.
Watch-out: The certificates are separate free web forms, not part of the app, so they aren’t saved against the job. And it’s one login, for the person who runs the admin: staff don’t get their own accounts, job lists or timesheets. For certificates inside the app, Checker or Powered Now suit you better; if every electrician needs a login, Tradify.
Start freeFree plan, no card needed. £14.99 a month flat for the whole business when you need more.
