GraftPay vs Joblogic: Full Feature & Pricing Breakdown for 2026

If you're weighing up GraftPay vs Joblogic for your UK trade business, here's the honest answer first. Joblogic is enterprise-grade field service software for established commercial trade businesses, with a starting price of £45/month and quote-based pricing above that. GraftPay is a simpler £29/month flat tool built around quote-to-deposit-to-balance for sole traders and small teams.

These two tools sit at different points on the market. Joblogic is built for service businesses with assets to track, planned maintenance contracts to run and staff to schedule. GraftPay is built to get a quote out and a deposit paid before the customer changes their mind. Different jobs, different prices.

Quick verdict

Pick Joblogic if you run a commercial trade business with PPM (planned preventive maintenance) contracts, asset compliance to track, multiple engineers to schedule and the budget for enterprise-grade software.

Pick GraftPay if you're a sole trader or small team, you want to see the price before you talk to anyone, you don't need PPM contracts or stock management, and your bottleneck is sending quotes and taking deposits fast.

GraftPay vs Joblogic pricing compared

Pricing is where the two tools diverge most clearly.

	GraftPay	Joblogic
Published starting price	£29/month flat	£45/month
VAT on price	Included	Excluded — added on top
All-in starting price (after 20% VAT)	£29	£54
Plans	One flat plan	Standard / Premium / Enterprise (request pricing for each)
Per-plan pricing detail	Fully published	Demo and sales call required for exact figures
Add-ons	All features included	Priced on request (Vehicle Tracking, VOIP, AI Connect, SMS, etc.)
Users	Unlimited	Request-based
Free trial	14 days, no card, instant	Available — requires a request form

Joblogic pricing pulled from joblogic.com/pricing on 11 May 2026. The page lists "Prices Start from £45" and confirms add-ons are priced on request. GraftPay's £29/month is the flat rate listed on graftpay.co.uk. Both base figures shown before VAT for comparison — HMRC VAT guidance explains how the 20% standard rate applies.

Three takeaways.

One. Joblogic's published headline of £45/month is exclusive of VAT. Once you add the standard 20% rate, the effective entry price is £54/month. GraftPay's £29 is the all-in price you'll see on the invoice.

Two. £45 is the floor, not the ceiling. Exact pricing for Standard, Premium and Enterprise tiers requires booking a demo. For a sole trader who wants to compare prices in five minutes, that's friction.

Three. Joblogic's add-on list (Vehicle tracking, AI Connect, VOIP telephony, SMS notifications, contract management, Projects Module) all sit behind "available on request" pricing. GraftPay's £29 includes everything it does, with nothing else to buy.

Two takeaways.

One. Joblogic does substantially more than GraftPay, especially around asset management, PPM contracts, stock and engineer tracking. If you run a commercial maintenance business, those features are genuinely useful and GraftPay does not have them.

Two. GraftPay's £29 covers everything it does. Joblogic's most useful features (Customer Portal, Stock Management, AI Connect) sit on the top tier or behind add-on pricing. The headline £45 only buys you the Standard plan.

Where Joblogic wins

Being straight. Joblogic has been building UK field service software for years and the product depth shows. They win on:

• Planned preventive maintenance. PPM contracts are the bread and butter of commercial trade businesses doing recurring service work (boilers, fire alarms, refrigeration). Joblogic handles the full lifecycle. GraftPay doesn't.
• Asset management. Track every piece of equipment, its location, service history and compliance status. Useful for any trade business that installs or maintains assets long-term.
• Engineer scheduling and GPS tracking. Route scheduling, live engineer location, timesheet integration. If you've got 5+ engineers in vans across a region, this is real operational machinery.
• Compliance and electronic forms. Standard plan includes electronic forms; Enterprise adds a custom form builder. For gas, electrical and fire-safety work where certs matter, this is built in.
• Stock and purchase orders. Track materials, manage suppliers, automate purchasing. GraftPay has none of this.

If you're running a commercial maintenance operation with multi-engineer teams and asset-heavy work, Joblogic is the more capable tool. Plain fact.

Where GraftPay wins

Now the bit you scrolled down for.

• You see the full price before you talk to anyone. £29/month, VAT included, on the website. Joblogic publishes a £45 starting price but exact per-plan figures and add-on costs require a demo. For a sole trader wanting to compare options in five minutes, transparency wins.
• No sales call required. Joblogic's pricing page funnels every visitor to "Book a demo" or "Request pricing". GraftPay's signup takes 60 seconds. Some buyers want a guided sales process. Many sole traders do not.
• VAT-inclusive pricing. £29 is the all-in number on your invoice. Joblogic's £45 becomes £54 once VAT is added. For a like-for-like comparison, GraftPay is roughly half the entry price.
• Flat-rate with no upgrade ladder. Joblogic's most useful features sit on Premium and Enterprise tiers, plus add-ons. GraftPay's £29 includes everything the tool does today.
• Built for the size of business you actually are. If you're a sole trader or running with one or two lads, Joblogic is enterprise machinery you do not need. GraftPay is built for exactly your size.

GraftPay vs Joblogic: real-world scenarios

Three quick scenarios.

Scenario 1: Sole-trader plumber, residential work

Picture a plumber working solo. 12 jobs a week, mostly residential repairs and small installs. No staff. No long-term maintenance contracts. Your accountant handles VAT.

Joblogic Standard starts at £45/month, or £54 with VAT. Plus you need to book a demo before you can sign up. The features you get (asset management, PPM contracts, electronic forms) are not what you need at this stage.

GraftPay: £29/month flat, VAT included, sign up tonight, send your first quote in the morning. For this profile, GraftPay is half the price and built for exactly what you do.

Scenario 2: Heating engineer firm with 4 engineers and boiler service contracts

Now imagine a heating firm with 4 engineers, hundreds of boiler service contracts, gas safety certs to issue and stock to manage. You're doing planned maintenance plus reactive call-outs.

This is where Joblogic earns its money. PPM contracts, asset records, engineer scheduling, electronic forms for gas certs. Premium plan at minimum, request pricing for the exact figure.

GraftPay can't compete here. No PPM contracts, no asset records, no engineer scheduling. £29 saves you money but you'd be running half your business on spreadsheets anyway. Joblogic is the right tool.

Scenario 3: Two-person team weighing whether to 'upgrade' from a simple tool

You're a two-person operation. Quoting 30 jobs a month. No service contracts. Someone's told you Joblogic is the 'proper' software.

Before booking that demo, be honest about whether you need asset management, PPM contracts and stock control. If you don't (and most two-person teams don't), you would be paying £54+ a month for features you'd never click, plus add-on fees, plus a sales process to get started.

GraftPay at £29 does the part you actually use. You can always move to Joblogic when you grow into commercial maintenance work.

GraftPay vs Joblogic: which one wins?

Sole trader or small residential team: GraftPay wins on price and simplicity. £29 all-in versus £54+ with VAT, no sales call, no demo, no add-on pricing maze.

Commercial maintenance firm with engineers, assets and PPM contracts: Joblogic wins on capability. It's built for that exact business and GraftPay is not competing yet.

Growing team in between: try GraftPay first. Free 14 days, no card. If you find yourself needing PPM contracts or asset management, Joblogic is right there. You'll have lost two weeks and gained clarity on what your business actually needs.

Frequently asked questions

Is Joblogic cheaper than GraftPay?

No. Joblogic's published starting price is £45/month plus VAT, which works out to £54 all-in. GraftPay is £29/month flat, VAT included. Joblogic's actual price for most teams is higher than £45 because exact per-plan pricing is request-only.

Does Joblogic publish full pricing?

Partially. Joblogic's pricing page lists a £45 starting price and three plan tiers (Standard, Premium, Enterprise) with feature lists, but exact per-plan and per-user prices require a demo and a sales call. Add-ons are priced on request. GraftPay's £29/month flat rate is listed openly with no demo required.

Do both have a free trial?

Yes. Both offer a free trial. Joblogic requires you to request a trial via its pricing page, often after a demo conversation. GraftPay's 14-day trial is instant with no card and no sales call.

Is Joblogic UK-based?

Yes. Joblogic is UK-built and competes on UK ground with GraftPay. The differentiator is pricing model (flat versus tiered with add-ons), pricing transparency (open versus quote-based) and feature depth (focused versus enterprise).

Which has better mobile apps?

Joblogic has dedicated iOS and Android apps. GraftPay is a web app that works on any phone without an install. For a single-user sole trader, the GraftPay web app removes the install friction. For a larger team needing offline mode or push notifications, Joblogic's native apps have an edge.
