QuickPrice or YourTradebase?
Both British. Different jobs.
Short version. Both are UK-built and both do VAT, so this isn't about locale. Pick QuickPrice if you want the AI to write and price the quote from a description, with UK pricing built in. Pick YourTradebase if you want polished, highly customisable documents and control over every price you charge. They both quote. They go about it differently.
Quick read
Which one fits you.
You want the AI to do the pricing.
- You'd sooner describe a job by voice or photo than build it line by line.
- You want UK material and labour pricing built in, not a price list you maintain.
- You want the AI to pick up how you quote and stick to it.
- You want a genuine free plan to try it on real jobs first.
You want polished documents and full control.
- You take pride in beautifully customised quote and estimate documents.
- You'd rather set every price yourself than trust an AI estimate.
- You want a mature scheduling diary alongside your quoting.
- You value a longer track record and established UK support.
Where QuickPrice is different
Three things YourTradebase doesn't do.
Voice, photo, and video input
In YourTradebase you build a quote by hand from your own saved items and templates. 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, the prices, the totals. No item library to build first. No forms.
UK pricing data, built in
QuickPrice ships with current material costs and regional UK labour rates across 12 regions, so it prices a job straight from a description. In YourTradebase you enter and keep up your own prices and item library. Both are UK products. Only one comes with the price data already loaded.
Quote DNA: trained on your quotes
Upload up to five quotes you've already sent. QuickPrice picks up your prices, your tone, the way you lay things out, and the items you always include. New quotes come out reading like yours. YourTradebase doesn't learn from your past quotes this way.
Where YourTradebase is stronger
Three things it does brilliantly.
YourTradebase is a polished, proven product. If these matter most to you, it may well be the better call, and we'd rather say so than pretend otherwise.
Customisable documents
YourTradebase quote and estimate templates are beautifully designed and highly customisable. If you want pixel-level control over how your documents look, it has more dials to turn than the QuickPrice branded PDF.
Scheduling diary
YourTradebase has a mature scheduling diary for planning jobs across the week. QuickPrice has scheduling on the roadmap, but it isn't shipped yet. If a diary is part of your daily routine, YourTradebase covers it today.
Manual price control
Some traders want to set every price themselves, down to the line, rather than trust an estimate. YourTradebase is built around that control, and it has the track record and established UK support to back it up.

FAQ
Things people ask
Isn't YourTradebase already UK-built? What's the real difference?
It is, and we won't pretend otherwise. YourTradebase is British, it handles VAT, and it's well regarded over here. So the difference isn't locale. It's how the quote gets made. In YourTradebase you build quotes by hand from your own saved items and templates, and you keep your own prices up to date. In QuickPrice you describe the job by voice, photo, or video. The AI writes the line items, prices them on built-in UK regional labour rates and live material costs, and Quote DNA makes it read like your past quotes. Different approach, same country.
Why would I pick QuickPrice over YourTradebase?
If quoting is the slow part of your day, and you'd rather not build and keep up a price list, QuickPrice does the pricing for you. Describe or photograph the job and it prices it on UK regional rates. Quote DNA learns from quotes you've already sent, so new ones read like yours. There's a free plan too, so you can try it on real jobs before you pay a penny.
Why would I pick YourTradebase over QuickPrice?
If you take pride in beautifully customised quote documents, and you want control over every price and every line, YourTradebase is excellent at that. Its templates are polished and highly configurable. It has a mature scheduling diary. And it's a proven product with a longer track record and established UK support. Plenty of traders prefer setting their own prices over trusting an AI estimate, and that's a fair reason to stay put.
Can I get a quote done in about a minute with YourTradebase?
YourTradebase quoting is document-led. You build from your saved items and templates. That's quick once your library is set up, slower while you're still building it. QuickPrice skips the library. You describe the job, the AI writes the line items, prices materials and labour, and adds VAT. You've a branded PDF in roughly a minute. Often before you're back in the van.
Does QuickPrice produce documents as polished as YourTradebase?
QuickPrice gives you a clean branded PDF with your logo and accent colour, and it looks the part. But if pixel-level template customisation matters to you, YourTradebase has more knobs to turn on document design. We'd rather be straight about that than oversell it. For most traders the QuickPrice PDF is smart enough and then some. If bespoke layouts are your thing, look closely at both.
What does QuickPrice cost compared to YourTradebase?
QuickPrice has a free tier with a few AI quotes a month, and paid plans from £8.99/mo inc. VAT, with Pro at £14.99/mo on a 14-day trial. YourTradebase is usually a paid plan with a free trial and no permanent free tier. Pricing moves on both sides, so check yourtradebase.com for their current rates and the QuickPrice pricing page for ours before you decide.
Can I move from YourTradebase to QuickPrice without losing my client list?
Yes. Export your customers from YourTradebase as a CSV and import them straight into QuickPrice. Then take five of the quotes you've already sent and upload them to Quote DNA. The AI reads how you price and how you write, so your first QuickPrice quote already reads like the ones you were sending before. Most solo traders are up and running inside an hour.
