How we compare
Built for plumbers. Not businesses with plumbers.
Tradify, Jobber and Toolramp are great if you’re running a team. If you’re working alone, you’re paying for features you’ll never use. PlumberLog is built for one person — you.

What you get
Everything a sole trader plumber needs
📋
Job tracking
Log each job with customer, date, quoted price and job type. Track open jobs, completed jobs and outstanding payments at a glance.
💰
Invoiced / Received / Outstanding
Your dashboard shows three money figures — what you’ve billed, what’s been paid, and what customers still owe you. Never chase a forgotten invoice again.
🔧
Cost logging per job
Log parts, copper and pipework, labour hours, van mileage, waste disposal and parking against each job. See your real margin — not just what you quoted.
🚐
Mileage tracking
Log every business journey. PlumberLog calculates your claimable amount at 55p per mile automatically. A plumber doing 8,000 miles a year can claim £4,400 — most claim nothing.
🗓️
Week view
See all your jobs laid out by day for the next 7 days. Know what Monday looks like before Monday arrives.
📝
Quote generator
Build a professional quote with line items on your phone. Print or send it before you leave the job. Pro users can convert an accepted quote to a job in one tap.
👥
Client database
Save repeat customers with name, phone and address. Select them when creating a job or quote instead of retyping every time.
🧾
Gas Safe invoices (Pro)
Generate a professional invoice on site with your Gas Safe registration number. Print it, PDF it or email it to the customer before you pack up.
📊
Tax report (Pro)
Select the tax year and tap print. Your full self assessment summary — income, costs, profit, estimated tax — is ready. No spreadsheet, no accountant required for the basic figures.
Reviews
What plumbers say
★★★★★
“Finally an app that doesn’t feel like it was built for a plumbing company with 10 vans. It’s just me and it works perfectly for how I work.”
Steve M.
Self employed plumber · Leeds
★★★★★
“The mileage tracking alone is worth it. I never bothered logging it before. First year I claimed an extra £3,200 I’d have missed completely.”
Dave R.
Gas Safe plumber · Manchester
★★★★★
“Tried Tradify for three months. Way too much. PlumberLog does exactly what I need and costs a fraction of the price.”

FAQ
Common questions
Is PlumberLog only for UK plumbers?
+
No — PlumberLog works in the UK, USA, Canada, Australia and Ireland. Set your country in Settings and the app uses the correct currency, mileage rate and tax authority automatically. The USA is fully supported with dollar pricing and the IRS mileage rate.
Do I need to download anything?
+
No download needed. Open PlumberLog in your phone browser and tap Add to Home Screen — iPhone: Share → Add to Home Screen. Android: Menu → Add to Home Screen. It looks and works like a native app from that point.
What’s different from Tradify or Toolramp?
+
Tradify and Toolramp are built for plumbing businesses with multiple engineers. PlumberLog is built for one person working alone. It includes Gas Safe invoicing, mileage tracking and a self assessment tax report — features the others don’t offer. And at £9.99/month it costs a fraction of the alternatives.
Can I claim my PlumberLog subscription on tax?
+
Yes. Software subscriptions used for business purposes are a claimable expense. PlumberLog Pro at £9.99/month is fully claimable on your self assessment return.
What about Making Tax Digital?
+
Making Tax Digital for Income Tax starts April 2026 for plumbers earning over £50,000. PlumberLog keeps your records in a digital format throughout the year — income, costs and mileage all logged with dates and categories. When the quarterly deadline arrives, the data is already there.
How does the mileage rate work?
+
Log a journey and PlumberLog calculates the claimable amount at 55p per mile automatically (the HMRC approved rate from April 2026, 45p before that). Your year-end report shows your total mileage claim ready to add to your self assessment.
