Both are UK-built for UK trades, and that’s where the similarity ends. Powered Now gives you a strong library of forms and certificates to fill in. Trade PA gives you Eve, an AI assistant who does the filling in: quotes, invoices, RAMS, chasing and your inbox, by voice. Here’s the detail, sourced from both companies’ published pricing and features.
