Where Trade2Base pulls ahead
UK-first vs European field service software
Synchroteam was built for the broader European field service market, primarily in France. UK VAT invoicing, Gas Safe certificate management, NICEIC compliance, CIS tax handling and GBP-native billing are not its primary focus. Trade2Base was built from day one for UK trade businesses — plumbers, electricians, heating engineers and builders operating under UK regulations.
Campaign attribution Synchroteam does not offer
Synchroteam is a capable scheduling and job management platform, but it has no marketing attribution layer. Trade2Base connects Google Ads, Facebook, directories and leaflets to the jobs and revenue they generate — so you know your cost-per-booked-job by channel. For trade businesses that market locally, this is the feature that pays for the software.
Flat business pricing vs per-user fees
Synchroteam charges per user, so your software costs rise directly as your team grows. Trade2Base is flat per-business pricing at £29–179/month regardless of engineer headcount — and includes AI tools and campaign attribution that Synchroteam does not offer at any price point.
Pricing comparison

| 3-engineer team | £29/mo | ~€72-105/mo (3 users) | Trade2Base saves significantly at team scale |
| 5-engineer team | £99/mo | ~€120-175/mo (5 users) | Trade2Base adds AI + UK attribution |
| GBP billing | ✓ Fixed £ | EUR primary | Currency risk with Synchroteam |
| UK compliance | ✓ Built in | Not prioritised | Gas Safe, CIS built into Trade2Base |
| Campaign attribution | ✓ All plans | Not available |

- Your business operates across multiple European countries where Synchroteam's multi-language, multi-currency support and European compliance features are genuinely important for your day-to-day operations
