The key difference

Same category, different capability

Wedge and PayReady are both quoting apps for tradesmen. The difference is in how they generate quotes, how you send them, and whether they work in Ireland.

PayReady

AI quotes. WhatsApp send. Built for the UK and Ireland.

Describe the job in plain English - PayReady AI builds a professional quote in 30 seconds with the correct VAT, your rates, and your branding. Send it via WhatsApp. Convert to invoice in one tap. PayReady AI writes your payment chaser when a client goes quiet. Works fully on your phone.

Wedge

Template-based quoting for UK tradesmen.

Wedge is a quoting and invoicing app built for UK tradesmen. You build quotes from templates and line items, which is faster than a blank invoice but slower than AI generation. No AI quoting, no WhatsApp send, and limited support for Irish tradesmen and Irish VAT rates.
