Or: certificate apps that also do quotes, invoices or scheduling
If your main need is gas paperwork, these certificate apps list quotes, invoices or scheduling too, which may be enough for a sole trader.
- Checker (formerly Gas Checker): from £10.99/mo. Quotes, invoices, job sheets.
- Gas Engineer Software (GES): from £18/mo. Quotes, invoices and scheduling.
- OnPoint: from £19/mo. Scheduling, quotes and invoices.

How to choose
- If you are a sole trader, avoid tools built for 6+ staff with 12-month contracts.
- Check whether gas certificates are included or need a higher plan.
- Check the currency: some vendors only show US-dollar prices.
- Make sure it syncs with your accounts software.
