Head-to-head comparisons

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.

Prices are as shown on each vendor's own pricing page on the date in the table, usually excluding VAT. "Price on vendor's site" means the vendor doesn't publish a price or we couldn't confirm one, so we don't show a figure. Spotted a change? Report it.
