Why charge at all? Running TestConnect isn't free: servers, secure storage for your photos and certificates, and support all cost money. We charge £5 a month per tester to cover those costs, not to make a profit.
Prices per month. VAT may apply. No commission on any job or payment. If prices ever change, you get at least 30 days' notice: see our terms.
You pay for the people who test
A tester is anyone in your organisation with the Tester role. Office administrators, finance and read-only users are free and unlimited, on every plan. An owner who also tests counts as one tester.
TestConnect takes no commission. If a customer pays an invoice by card, Stripe takes its standard card fee, as it would if you used Stripe on its own. We add 0%, and your customer never pays a surcharge.
| Organisation | Pro, per month |
|---|---|
| Sole trader | £5 |
| 2 testers | £10 |
| 3 testers and 2 office staff | £15 |
| 5 testers, an office manager and a bookkeeper | £25 |
Adding testers, and the end of the free trial
Adding a tester
Go to Settings, then Team, then Add a tester. You see the new monthly price before you confirm, and it's charged pro rata. Removing a tester reduces your next bill.
Sole trader to company
When you add your second tester, you stop being marked as a sole trader. Your name, invoices, clients and invoice numbering stay the same.
When the free trial ends
We remind you 7, 3 and 1 days before. If you don't add a card, you move to Free and your data is kept. Nothing is charged without you choosing it.
Frequently asked
More on the questions from testers page, or email support@testconnect.co.uk.
Is it really free?
Yes. The Free plan costs nothing, has no time limit and needs no card. It covers one tester: marketplace work with route fit, results, photos and certificates, up to 15 of your own jobs a month, and as many office and finance users as you like.
Why do you charge at all?
Running TestConnect isn't free: servers, secure storage for years of your photos and certificates, and support all cost money. We charge £5 a month per tester to cover those costs, not to make a profit.
Will the price go up?
We aim to keep it at £5 and only cover our costs. If prices ever change, we'll give you at least 30 days' notice, and you can cancel or drop to Free before it applies.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Every new tester business gets Pro free for 60 days, for the whole team, to get a feel for it. No card needed.
Do I need a card?
No. Not for the Free plan, and not for the free trial. You only add a card if you decide to pay for Pro.
Do you take a cut of my jobs?
No. TestConnect takes no commission on any job or payment.
Can my office or admin person use it? Do they pay?
Yes, and no. Office administrators, finance and read-only users are free and unlimited on every plan, including Free. They can run the diary, prepare jobs, enter results for a named tester and, on Pro, do the invoicing. They can't carry out tests themselves.
What happens after the free trial?
We remind you 7, 3 and 1 days before it ends. To keep Pro, add a card and it's £5 a month per tester. If you do nothing, you move to the Free plan and keep all your data.
What if I stop paying?
You move to the Free plan and nothing is deleted. If you have more than one tester, the others can still sign in and see their work, but only one tester can take new jobs until you upgrade again.
Is there a contract?
No. Pro is month to month. Cancel any time in the app and you move to the Free plan.
Can I send invoices and take card payments? What does it cost?
Yes, on Pro, which is free during the 60-day trial. Raise invoices from completed jobs with your logo, VAT and bank details. Customers pay by bank transfer, or by card if you connect your own Stripe account. Card payments carry Stripe's standard fees; TestConnect adds 0% and never surcharges your customer.
Does it link to my accounts software?
Accounting sync with Xero, QuickBooks and Sage is coming soon, on Pro. It isn't part of the free trial because we pay the accounting providers for each connection, but you can start paying early to use it.
How do I join?
TestConnect is invite-only while we grow the network of local independents. Request an invite and we'll email you a code.
Do developers and assessors pay anything?
No, never. Posting work, managing sites and plots, imports, site manager links and dashboards are free for developers and assessors, always.
60 days of Pro free, to get a feel
Every new tester business gets Pro free for 60 days, for the whole team, with no card needed. After that, keep Pro for £5 a month per tester or stay on Free. TestConnect is invite-only while we grow, so request an invite and we'll email you a code.
