Why people switch
- CertBox certificates are free and unlimited — Tradify gates them behind £37/user/month.
- Flat pricing: CertBox Pro is £14.99/month total and covers up to 3 users. Tradify bills every user, every month.
- Quotes, invoices and card payments are on the CertBox free plan.
- Your data stays yours: full export any time, and nothing is deleted if you downgrade.
Do your own diligence: Tradify’s Trustpilot profile is strong overall — and the 1-star reviews (data loss, billing after cancellation, trial-period sales calls) are worth reading too. Read the reviews.
Where Tradify is stronger
An honest comparison cuts both ways. Stay with Tradify if these matter to you:
- Timesheets and staff location tracking for larger field teams.
- Sage accounting sync (CertBox connects QuickBooks and Xero, not Sage).
- A longer track record and a large support team.
Switching takes an afternoon, not a weekend
1. Export your clients from Tradify as a CSV.
2. Import it in CertBox: Clients → Import CSV. Match your columns to ours — any export format works.
3. Or skip both steps: email the export to paddy@certbox.app and the founder sets your account up for you, usually within a day.
And if CertBox isn’t for you, everything exports back out. Read the CertBox data promise.
