Compare · Powered Now
Two UK-first tools,
two different ideas
Powered Now is properly UK-native trade software — VAT submission, certificates, forms — that you operate. Trayder is an assistant that does the office work and hands it to you for a tap. A respectful, dated look at the differences.

Where Powered Now wins
Its UK tax depth is real: Making Tax Digital VAT submission built in, gas and electrical certificates, and a big library of trade forms. If you need certificates and MTD filing inside your job software today, Powered Now has years of head start there — Trayder does VAT-correct invoicing (including reverse charge and CIS) but doesn't file your VAT return.
