// DuoApp vs Priceworx · UK

A Priceworx alternative that covers the whole job.

Priceworx does one thing well: measured and priced works against a schedule of rates, which is exactly what social housing and maintenance contractors need. The question is what happens either side of it. DuoApp handles priced works, specific works and sub works - and then carries them straight through to CIS invoicing, retention, approvals, QA sign-offs and document compliance, on one flat £10 per user, per month.

// The honest version

Where each one is stronger.

No tool wins every category. Here is where Priceworx is the better answer, and where DuoApp is.

DuoApp vs Priceworx

UK · Priced works

Where Priceworx is strong

Focused, well-understood handling of measured works against a schedule of rates
Established in UK social housing and responsive maintenance
Straightforward for teams whose entire commercial model is SOR-based
Does not carry features you will never use if priced works is genuinely all you need

Where DuoApp wins

Three billing models in one place - priced works, specific works and sub works
CIS deductions, retention and split payments applied automatically to applications and invoices
Quality control, snagging and document compliance included rather than absent
A mobile app for operatives that works offline and syncs later
Published £10 per user pricing covering all of it, not a per-module quote

Bottom line: If priced works is the only thing you need software for, a focused tool is a defensible choice. If your team is also chasing timesheets, certificates, sign-offs and CIS across spreadsheets, DuoApp replaces the lot for £10 a head.

// Making the move

What switching actually involves.

Most firms looking to move are not unhappy with how priced works are measured - they are tired of everything around it living somewhere else.

Your rates come with you

Set up your schedule of rates and priced items once, and apply them across projects. Specific works and sub works sit alongside on the same job rather than in a separate process.

Straight through to payment

A measured item flows into an application, then an invoice with CIS and retention already applied - without anyone re-keying it into a second system.

The site paperwork stops being separate

QA sign-offs, snagging photos, timesheets and certificate expiry all live against the same project as the money.

Questions buyers ask us.

What does DuoApp do that Priceworx does not?

Beyond priced works, DuoApp adds CIS-compliant invoicing with retention and deductions, quality control and snagging, document compliance with expiry alerts, timesheets, holiday planning, expenses, approvals and analytics - all in the same £10 per user rate. See priced, specific and sub works →

Does DuoApp support a schedule of rates?

Yes. You can define priced items and rates and apply them across projects, alongside sub works and specific works on the same job - so a single project can be billed in more than one way without splitting it across systems.

Is DuoApp suitable for social housing and responsive maintenance?

Yes - measured works, operative timesheets, offline job sign-offs with photo evidence, certificate and insurance expiry tracking, and CIS-compliant subcontractor payment are all covered, which is most of what a responsive maintenance contractor runs on.

How much does DuoApp cost compared with Priceworx?

Priceworx does not publish list pricing and is quoted per seat. DuoApp is £10 per user, per month, published, with every feature included - so a ten-person team is £100 a month plus VAT, whatever they use.

Can operatives use it without training?

That is the intent. Operatives open the mobile app, see the jobs assigned to them, record what they have done with photos, and submit - offline if there is no signal, syncing when there is. The commercial detail stays in the office view.
