What is SoloDesks?

SoloDesks serves as an all-in-one job management tool tailored specifically for independent tradespeople, including plumbers, electricians, painters, landscapers, and handymen, enabling them to efficiently manage quoting, invoicing, and job scheduling without the complications of team management. Users can generate comprehensive itemized quotes from their mobile devices while on-site and deliver them as customized PDFs to clients. When a client accepts a quote via a secure link, it instantly transforms into an invoice with a single tap, preserving all the details and pricing without necessitating any duplicate data entry. To assist in managing overdue payments, the Overdue Autopilot feature sends automated reminders to clients at 7, 14, and 21-day intervals, ensuring the communication is branded to appear as if it's coming from the business, with responses routed directly to the tradesperson and ceasing automatically once payment is received. Each job is neatly organized on a calendar that includes the client's location, facilitating efficient route planning, while all financial aspects, such as VAT and CIS, are meticulously tracked in pounds. SoloDesks offers a free plan that allows for 10 quotes, 10 invoices, and 10 emailed PDFs per month, accommodating unlimited clients and jobs, while the Pro plan is reasonably priced at 12 GBP monthly without any user fees, making it an appealing option for solo professionals. In essence, SoloDesks not only simplifies business operations for individual tradespeople but also significantly enhances their cash flow management with ease. Additionally, its user-friendly interface and robust features ensure that tradespeople can focus more on their craft rather than administrative tasks.

What is Optivation?

Optivation brings the five jobs agencies run every week into one workspace: forms, databases, pages, time tracking and invoicing. You run the whole client lifecycle in one system, working from the same data at every step, not across five separate tools. When a client fills in your intake form, their answers land straight in your database as a record. Each record opens into a full page, where the notes, files and sub-tasks for that client sit alongside a built-in timer. The hours you log there go onto an invoice generated from that same record, so the work and the billing stay in one place from first contact to payment. The same records show up however you need them: a table for scanning, a board for tracking progress, a calendar for deadlines. Clients can book time with you through a booking page in the same workspace, and pages can be shared with a client when they need to see where things are at. AI Advisor opens against any record and draws out a summary and the action items, so a long brief turns into a list you can work from. Optivation is made for independent consultants and small agency studios who bill hourly or on retainer. You can start on the free plan and move up when you need to. Solo is $19 a month. Studio is $49 a month and covers up to 3 seats, with each extra seat at $19 a month. Paid plans include a 30-day free trial, so you can set up a real client and run it end to end before you decide.

Pricing Information

£12.00/month
Two plans, both in GBP.

Free, £0 a month: 10 quotes, 10 invoices and 10 emailed PDFs a month,
plus 3 one-tap client accept-links. Unlimited clients and jobs, and your
own logo on every PDF. No card required.

Pro, £12 a month: unlimited quotes, invoices, emails and accept-links.
Overdue Autopilot chases unpaid invoices for you at 7, 14 and 21 days
and stops the moment you are paid. Pay-now links on invoices, premium
PDF styles, your brand colour, and no SoloDesks credit line on your
paperwork.

The £12 is flat rather than per user, because SoloDesks is built for one
person working alone. Billed monthly, cancel anytime, and nothing is
deleted if you downgrade.
