A decorating app, not a general one
General trade apps are good at jobs, diaries and invoices for any trade. They don't measure a room or know how much paint it takes. Here's what's different.
| New Hue | General trade app | Notebook and spreadsheet | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Measure rooms on your phone, wall by wall | ✓ Yes | ✕ No | ✕ No |
| Litres of paint and rolls of wallpaper worked out | ✓ Yes | ✕ No | By hand |
| Prices the job from your own rates | ✓ Yes | Price list only | By hand |
| Colour schedule showing every wall in its colour | ✓ Yes | ✕ No | ✕ No |
| A page where the client accepts, approves extras and reports snags | ✓ Yes | Accept only | ✕ No |
| Deposits, interim and final invoices | ✓ Yes | ✓ Yes | By hand |
| Sends invoices to Xero, QuickBooks or Sage | ✓ Yes | Some | ✕ No |
| CIS deductions for work for builders | ✓ Yes | Some | By hand |
| Crew see the job, not the client’s phone or email | ✓ Yes | Some | ✕ No |
| Card fees taken from your money | None | Often | None |
"General trade app" means the usual job, quote and invoice apps made for every trade. What each one offers varies and changes, so check the one you're looking at.
Try the sums for yourself. The free paint and wallpaper calculator uses the same maths as the app.
