QuickPrice or Powered Now?
Depends what you need.
Short version. They're both UK-built and both run on your phone, so that's not the difference. Pick QuickPrice when you want quoting itself faster, with the AI writing and pricing the quote from a description. Pick Powered Now when you want one app to run the whole back office: VAT, certificates, expenses, and a diary. Both quote. They're built for different jobs.
Quick read
Which one fits you.
Quoting is the bit slowing you down.
- You quote 10 to 80 jobs a month and want each one done in a minute, not twenty.
- You'd sooner describe a job by voice or photo than build it from a price list.
- You want UK material and labour pricing built in, not typed in by you.
- You want the AI to learn how you quote and copy it.
You want one app for the whole back office.
- You need Making Tax Digital VAT submission handled inside the app.
- You issue trade certificates like gas safety or electrical records.
- You track expenses and raise supplier purchase orders.
- You want a scheduling diary and the wider admin in one place.
Where QuickPrice is different
Three things Powered Now doesn't do.
Both are UK-built and both run on a phone, so this isn't about country or device. It's about how the quote gets written and priced.
Voice, photo, and video on the job
Powered Now quoting is manual and template-based. You build from your own items and price list. QuickPrice skips that. Tap the mic and talk through the job, snap up to five photos, or film a walkthrough. The AI works out the line items, prices, and totals. No price list to keep up, no forms, no laptop.
UK pricing built in, by region
QuickPrice comes with material costs and labour rates across 12 UK regions, so London rates aren't Yorkshire rates. In Powered Now you enter your own prices and items. Flexible, but that's work you do. QuickPrice does that part for you, and you adjust as you like.
Quote DNA: trained on your quotes
Upload up to five quotes you've already sent. QuickPrice picks up your prices, your tone, how you lay things out, and the items you always include. New quotes come out reading like yours. Powered Now doesn't do this. Nobody else does.
Where Powered Now is stronger
Three things QuickPrice can't do.
Powered Now is an established all-round business app, and it covers admin that QuickPrice doesn't. Need these today? Powered Now is the better call.
Making Tax Digital VAT
Powered Now has MTD-compatible VAT submission built in, so you file straight from the app. QuickPrice doesn't handle VAT returns. It stops at the quote and invoice.
Trade certificates
Gas safety records, electrical certificates, and other compliance documents live inside Powered Now. QuickPrice doesn't issue certificates, so if those are part of your work you'd still need something else for them.
Expenses & purchase orders
Powered Now tracks expenses and lets you raise supplier purchase orders, alongside a scheduling diary and the wider admin. QuickPrice sticks to quoting and doesn't cover the rest of the back office yet.

FAQ
Things people ask
Is QuickPrice a straight swap for Powered Now?
For the quoting side, often yes. QuickPrice is built for quoting on-site from a phone. Talk through the job, snap a photo, or describe it, and the AI writes the quote, prices it on UK rates, brands it, and the customer accepts it in their browser. Powered Now is a wider business-admin app. It also does invoicing, a scheduling diary, expenses, supplier purchase orders, trade certificates, and Making Tax Digital VAT. Want quoting faster? QuickPrice fits. Want one app for the whole back office? Powered Now does more.
Both are UK and both work on a phone, so what actually differs?
Here's the honest bit. Powered Now and QuickPrice are both UK-built and both run on your phone, so neither 'UK' nor 'works on your phone' is the difference. What differs is how the quote gets made. In Powered Now you build it yourself from templates and your own price list. In QuickPrice the AI writes it from a spoken or photographed description, prices it against built-in UK labour and material data across 12 regions, and Quote DNA learns from your past quotes so new ones read like yours.
Why would I pick QuickPrice over Powered Now?
A few things. The input is AI, so you describe the job by voice, photo, or video instead of picking items off a template. The pricing is built in, with UK labour rates across 12 regions and material costs, so you're not entering your own. Quote DNA reads your old quotes so new ones come out reading like yours. There's a free plan that stays free, and on-site quoting from a description takes about a minute.
Why would I pick Powered Now over QuickPrice?
Powered Now does plenty QuickPrice doesn't. Making Tax Digital VAT submission is built in. It handles trade certificates like gas safety records and electrical certificates. It tracks expenses and supplier purchase orders, runs a scheduling diary, and covers wider business admin with a longer track record. If you want one app to run the whole business rather than just quote faster, Powered Now covers more ground today.
Does QuickPrice do Making Tax Digital VAT or trade certificates?
No. Powered Now has MTD VAT submission and trade certificates like gas safety records built in. QuickPrice doesn't. QuickPrice is about the quote itself: getting it written, priced on UK data, branded, and accepted. If MTD submission or certificates are non-negotiable for you today, Powered Now is the better call there.
Can I get a quote done in under a minute with Powered Now?
Powered Now quoting runs on templates and a price list. You set up your items, then build each quote from them. Tidy, once it's set up. QuickPrice skips the setup. Describe the job by voice or photo, the AI writes the line items, prices materials and labour, adds VAT, and you've got a branded PDF in about a minute, usually before you're back at the van.
What does it cost compared to Powered Now?
QuickPrice has a free tier with 3 AI quotes a month, and paid plans from £8.99/mo (inc. VAT). Pro is £14.99/mo with a 14-day trial. Powered Now runs tiered monthly pricing with a free trial and no permanent free AI-quoting plan, so check current rates on their site. For a solo trader who mostly needs faster quoting, QuickPrice works out cheaper. Need the full admin suite? Weigh that against what Powered Now bundles in.
