Cuppaflow vs Powered Now
Looking at Powered Now, or thinking of moving from it? Here is how Cuppaflow approaches the same job, so you can compare fairly and decide what suits your business.
Two good tools, built from different starting points.
Powered Now is a UK-based app for trades businesses, known for quoting and invoicing tools aimed at British tradespeople. Powered Now is also built for the UK market, so the choice often comes down to the workflow and features you prefer.
Both products are aimed at UK trades. People who try Cuppaflow alongside it usually look closely at the dispatch board for teams, the customer portal and online booking, Direct Debit for regular customers and certificates on the Pro plan.
