Powered Now is a UK app for trades with certificates, timesheets, expenses, texts sent for you, and Making Tax Digital VAT returns, priced per user. Sendinvo is one price for the whole team, with invoices in more than one currency and automatic payment reminders on its one plan.
Checked October 2026. Everything about Powered Now on this page is from Powered Now’s pricing page, its feature pages and its support centre, each row links the page it came from so you can check it yourself, and where their pages say nothing, the row says so. Prices and plans change, so look at Powered Now’s pricing page before you decide. Powered Now is a trade mark of its owner, and Sendinvo isn’t connected with it.

Powered Now’s Business plan is £28 a month plus VAT for one user, which is £33.60 with VAT at 20%, and its team plans are £32 or £40 per user a month plus VAT. Sendinvo is £24.99 a month including VAT, for the whole team.
Both. Sendinvo takes the CIS deduction off the labour lines and prints the reverse charge wording on the invoice; Powered Now’s support centre says it works out the CIS to deduct and supports the reverse charge.
Certificates, timesheets, expenses and purchase orders, VAT returns for Making Tax Digital, texts sent for you, route planning, and a customer portal on Premium. Sendinvo has none of those.
Yes. In Powered Now, export your customers from Contacts as a CSV file and your sales invoice report from Reports as a spreadsheet, and choose them in Sendinvo’s Import on a computer. Sendinvo matches the columns and you check each one. Each invoice needs its number, its client and its total. If Powered Now sends your invoices to Xero, connecting Xero to Sendinvo brings your customers and invoices in instead. Projects, quotes, notes, photos and each payment’s own record stay in Powered Now. Nothing is sent to your clients, and each import can be undone for 30 days.
The Sendinvo app is available on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, and there’s no Android app yet. Powered Now has apps for iPhone and Android.
No. Sendinvo doesn’t file anything with HMRC. Export for your accountant gives them the figures for a tax year, an accounting year, or a quarter in one zip.
Quote it, book the visits, and send the invoice. 30 days of everything, free. No card needed.
