What £49/month actually saves you
Most tradespeople spend 5-10 hours a week on admin. At a typical trade rate of £40-60/hour, that's £200-600 of lost earning time every week. CMA cuts that admin in half.

Pricing questions
Is there really just one plan?
Yes. £49 per month gets you everything - every feature, unlimited clients, unlimited quotes and invoices. No tiers to upgrade through.
Can I cancel at any time?
Absolutely. No contracts, no lock-in. Cancel whenever you like and download your data before you go.
Do I need a credit card to start the trial?
No. Your 14-day trial is completely free with full access to every feature. We only ask for payment details when you decide to continue.
Are there any hidden fees?
None. £49 per month is the total cost. Stripe payment processing fees (1.4% + 20p per transaction) are the only additional cost, and those go directly to Stripe, not us.
What happens to my data if I cancel?
You can export all your data before cancelling. After cancellation, your data is retained for 30 days in case you change your mind, then permanently deleted.
How the flat £49 compares as your team grows
CMA is one fee for the whole business. Per-user tools charge for every seat, so the total monthly bill multiplies as you bring on an apprentice, a partner, or a small crew.
| Team size | CMA (flat) | Tradify (£34/user) | YourTradebase (£29 + £15/user) | CMA monthly saving |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 user | £49 | £34 | £29 | £20 more |
| 2 users | £49 | £68 | £44 | £5 more |
| 5 users | £49 | £170 | £89 | £40 cheaper |
| 10 users | £49 | £340 | £164 | £115 cheaper |
Competitor figures based on public pricing pages and rounded for clarity. CMA stays at £49 regardless of headcount, so the saving compounds every time you hire.
Common doubts about the price
The £49 question, the per-user comparison, the use-only-one-feature objection - the four most common doubts about CMA pricing answered straight.
Isn't £49 a lot for a solo trader?
It is more than the £25-£35 a single-seat trade tool typically charges. The trade-off is that CMA is one fee for the whole business with every feature included - client portal, document and media sharing, online payments, scheduling, broadcast emails - and it stops being a price decision the moment you bring on an apprentice or a second tradesperson. Most solo traders save the cost back inside the first month from quicker quoting and one less piece of paperwork chased manually. If you genuinely never plan to hire and only need basic quoting, a cheaper single-seat tool may be the better fit.
How does this compare to Tradify's £34/user?
Tradify is per user. A two-person team is £68/month, three is £102, five is £170. CMA stays at £49 regardless. The break-even is two users - from the second seat upward CMA is cheaper, and the gap widens every time you hire. There is also a feature gap: Tradify does not include a self-service client portal, so you would still be paying extra elsewhere for the customer-facing experience.
What if I only need invoicing?
CMA is not the cheapest option if invoicing is genuinely all you want - a focused invoicing tool will run £8-£15/month. CMA earns its £49 when you also need at least two of: a client portal, a quote builder with a product catalogue, a calendar, a shared media library, document sharing, email broadcasts, or online card payments. If invoicing is step one and you can already see step two on the horizon, CMA is the cheaper move because there is nothing extra to bolt on later.
What happens when I add a second user?
Nothing changes on the price. Add a partner, an apprentice, or office help - the bill stays £49/month. Each team member gets their own login, their own activity is tracked separately, and you can scope what they see (private notes vs shared notes, for example). On a per-user tool, a second user typically doubles the bill on day one.
Want us to handle the admin for you?
Layer a managed admin service on top of your CMA subscription. A UK-based assistant manages your social media messages, chases quotes, books jobs and follows up unpaid invoices - all inside your CMA. Priced per scope, not per seat.
