Which one should you actually use?
Stay with Electrical Certificate App if
Electricians who already use the same company's gas app and want everything from one supplier.
Try Certably if
You work across more than one trade and object to paying four times for it, you want your certificates checked for problems before a client sees them, or you want a QS to review the actual certificate rather than pre-authorise a signature. Certably is new, so you are trading a track record for a lower price and a tighter workflow.
Being straight with you
Certably is in build. It is not on the App Store yet, it has no reviews, and it has not been tested by thousands of electricians the way Electrical Certificate App has. Every certificate layout is checked against the current BS 7671 model forms by a qualified engineer before it can be issued, but a checked layout is not the same as fourteen years of use. If you need something proven today, buy the proven thing.
