Where Trade2Base pulls ahead
UK-first vs US-built software
Workiz was built for the US home service market — HVAC, locksmith and cleaning businesses in North America. UK VAT invoicing, Gas Safe certificate management, CIS tax handling and the nuances of UK trade workflows are not its primary focus. Trade2Base was built specifically for UK plumbers, electricians, heating engineers and builders from day one.
GBP pricing vs USD currency risk
Workiz bills in USD. UK customers pay for software in a foreign currency, face exchange rate fluctuations and often see unexpected charges when the pound weakens. Trade2Base is priced in GBP — £29–179/month flat, no setup fees, no currency surprises. What you see is what you pay.
Full campaign attribution vs basic lead tracking
Workiz tracks which lead source a job came from, but lacks a full marketing attribution layer. Trade2Base connects your Google Ads, Facebook and local directories to the actual revenue they generate — showing cost-per-booked-job by channel. For UK trade businesses running active ad campaigns, this drives real decisions about where to invest your marketing budget.
