Certs, invoices, card payments and five years of service reminders in one app, from £9.99 a month. Here's how that stacks up against the big names — including where they beat us.

Competitor pricing and features from their public websites and app store listings, checked 7 Oct 2026 (Gas Engineer Software prices are for annual billing and exclude VAT; Commusoft does not publish prices) — always check their sites for current details.

Four reasons engineers switch.
Stuck on a fault at 4pm on a Friday? Breakdown AI takes the make, model and fault code and gives you the likely causes ranked, the checks in order with expected readings, and the parts to grab — while you're still in front of the boiler. It works the fault the way an engineer would, rather than just looking a code up in a manual.
Invoice a boiler install and GASpilot books five years of service reminders — date, address and install details included. Cert renewals run the full chain: invoice the landlord, record their permission, offer the tenant dates. Where cert-only apps stop at the PDF, yours keeps working.
No App Store, no download wait, no card details. Scan a QR code and you're doing your first cert in the van — and it keeps working with no signal in the basement. Try that with an app store download at a merchant's counter.
From £9.99 a month against £18–£44 per user elsewhere — with a 60-day free trial (most give 14). Long enough for your first auto-reminder to fire and win you a repeat job before you've paid a penny.
