Our Mission
SpannerBot exists to help UK tradespeople work smarter with technology. We test, review, and explain the apps, software, and AI tools that can save you time and help you run a better business.
Whether you're a sole trader looking to speed up your quoting, or running a team and need better scheduling software, we've got you covered with honest, practical guidance.
Who We Are
We're a team of technology specialists with deep experience in the UK trades sector. We understand that tradespeople don't have time to wade through marketing hype — you need honest, practical guidance on what actually works.
Our reviewers have hands-on experience with every tool we recommend. We test software on real jobs, not just in demo mode.

- Job Management Software — Tradify, ServiceM8, Jobber, and more
- Accounting & Invoicing — Xero, FreeAgent, QuickBooks
- AI Tools — ChatGPT, AI assistants, and automation
- Quoting & Estimating — Get paid what you're worth

Our Approach
Every tool we recommend, we've tested ourselves. Our reviews are honest, including the downsides. We tell you what works, what doesn't, and who each tool is really best for.
We're supported by affiliate partnerships with some of the tools we recommend. This means we may earn a commission if you sign up through our links — at no extra cost to you. However, this never influences our editorial opinions. We only recommend tools we'd use ourselves, and we're always transparent about our relationships.
