Where Trade2Base pulls ahead
UK-first vs US-built
FieldPulse was built in the United States for North American field service businesses. UK-specific requirements — Gas Safe, NAPIT, CIS tax handling, VAT invoicing in GBP, Mailhaus direct mail — were not its design priority. Trade2Base was built from day one for UK trade businesses.
Campaign attribution FieldPulse does not offer
FieldPulse has no marketing attribution layer. Trade2Base connects your Google Ads, Facebook campaigns, leaflet drops and directory listings to the invoices they generated — giving you a real cost-per-booked-job by channel. FieldPulse cannot do this.
No USD billing or currency conversion
FieldPulse bills in US dollars. UK businesses pay currency conversion fees on top of the subscription cost — and the effective price changes with the exchange rate. Trade2Base is billed in GBP at a fixed UK price with no conversion fees or surprises.

When FieldPulse might suit you better
- Your business operates primarily in North America where FieldPulse has stronger local market fit, customer support and payment processing integrations
- You need a well-designed mobile-first experience for residential service businesses where FieldPulse has invested heavily in consumer-facing features
- You are already deeply integrated with FieldPulse and the switching cost outweighs the benefits of moving to a UK-native platform
- Your business does not market actively and you simply need straightforward scheduling, quoting and invoicing without attribution or AI tools
