Pricing

How much does OpsDeck cost? Here is the honest answer.

The Field Ops Platform is priced by the number of operatives you have in the field: £250/month for 1–10, rising in published steps to £550/month for 41–50, with unlimited users — office staff, managers and admin never add to the bill. The build fee starts from £1,500, fixed in writing after a scoping call. For smaller teams, the Job Management Platform is £150/month for up to 10 operatives with a £500 setup. Admin and quoting tools for the office run from £75 to £150 per month. Done-for-you services — websites, Google setup, compliance documents, sales and marketing strategy — from £97 to £750 as one-off fixed prices. All costs are agreed in writing before you pay anything — no surprises, no hidden escalations.

Most software companies hide their pricing or give you a range so wide it tells you nothing. This page gives you real numbers, explains exactly what drives the cost up or down, and shows you what you are actually paying for over 12 months compared to the alternatives.

Factors that increase cost

  • ↑Complexity of the build and number of features required
  • ↑Number of different job types needing separate logic
  • ↑Number of integrations with external tools required
  • ↑Bespoke engine logic — custom productivity rates, area calculations, material configs
  • ↑Number of field operatives on the Full Operations Platform — published bands below
  • ↑Size and operational complexity of the business

Factors that reduce cost

  • ↓Single-purpose automation with no complex logic
  • ↓Single trade type with standard repeatable pricing
  • ↓Self-sufficient client needing minimal ongoing support
  • ↓No complex calculations or custom integrations required
  • ↓Smaller team with straightforward workflows

Why some providers are cheaper

Generic off-the-shelf tools like Tradify and Jobber start from £35 to £55 per user per month. They are not bespoke and they are not built around your business. For trades doing simple repeatable jobs with standard pricing, they work well and represent good value. For trades where quoting is complex — where materials need calculating, specifications matter, and a wrong number costs you money — they run out of capability and you end up back in a spreadsheet for the hard part. Cheaper is not always worse. But it is always a different product.

Why some providers are more expensive

Full custom software agencies charge between £10,000 and £50,000 for bespoke builds, with ongoing day rates for changes. OpsDeck sits between generic tools and full custom development — bespoke configuration at a fraction of custom build costs because we build on a proven platform rather than from scratch.

What does it actually cost over 12 months?

Before comparing tools, look at what you actually pay over a full year — not just the monthly headline figure. Generic tools price per user. As your team grows, so does your bill.

How payments work

1

On scope approval

One third of build fee

Hidden costs to watch for in this industry

These are the costs that do not appear in competitor headline pricing but appear on your invoice later.

Per-user pricing that escalates

Most generic tools charge per seat. Three users today, eight users next year. Your monthly cost nearly triples. Every OpsDeck tier includes unlimited users. On the Full Operations Platform the monthly fee moves only with your number of field operatives, in published £75 steps — office staff, managers and admin never add to the bill.

Annual contracts and exit fees

Many platforms lock you into 12-month contracts. Cancelling early means penalties. OpsDeck is rolling monthly with 30 days notice.

Charges for updates and new features

Some platforms charge extra for platform updates or new functionality. OpsDeck bug fixes and minor updates are included in the monthly subscription.

No customisation without expensive developer rates

Off-the-shelf tools cannot be customised without paying developer day rates. With OpsDeck, every build is already configured to your business from day one.

Data locked in proprietary formats

Some platforms make it difficult or impossible to export your data if you leave. With OpsDeck, your data is yours and can be exported in full at any time.
