Questions
Is Tickzu cheaper than Gas Engineer Software?
Tickzu will have a Free plan with jobs, customers, appliances, service records, quotes and invoices, within monthly limits. Pro is £9.99 a month at the founding price, kept for as long as you stay subscribed. GES starts at £19 a month ex VAT for a single-user Starter plan, which does not include invoicing according to its pricing page.
Can Tickzu issue a CP12?
No. Tickzu records services per appliance, but a Tickzu service record is not a Gas Safety Record (CP12). If you need certificates from your app today, GES includes them.
Can I move from GES to Tickzu later?
Tickzu is not available yet. Import options will be confirmed before launch.
