Short answer: if you want a full job-management system with scheduling for a team, Tradify or Jobber are built for that. If you are a mobile mechanic who wants to say "brake pads and discs front axle, £180 parts, two hours labour" and get an invoice draft straight away, SaidToPaid is built for that.
SaidToPaid lets you speak or type what you did, turns it into a priced invoice draft, and only sends it once you have checked and approved it. You can try it with 5 real documents free, no card needed. Solo is £10 + VAT a month on the founding rate (100 documents a month, one user) and Pro is £20 + VAT a month on the founding rate (unlimited documents, up to three users).

Frequently asked questions
What is the best software for a mobile mechanic?
For a one-person or small mobile mechanic business that mainly needs quick invoices, SaidToPaid is simple and voice-first. For larger teams that need dispatch, Tradify or Jobber offer more job management.
Can I invoice a customer at the roadside?
Yes. With SaidToPaid you can create, check and send the invoice from your phone before you drive off, with a card payment link included.
Is a mechanic invoice template enough?
A template works when you have a few jobs a week. Once you are chasing late payers and retyping parts, an app saves time. See our mechanic invoice template page.
