EasyCert alternative

[Mark1969]

I need some software to do my certs on and would like to know what alternatives there are to EasyCert? The software is great but as a sole trader the licensing is a bit of a joke/rip off. What options are there out there?

Cheers...

I used the Elecsa online form filling thing once.
It was very easy, much better than the IET editable PDF thing they did.

Ah I see. Yes if you have the mobile version you need the yearly care package to sync it with other devices via their cloud service. I'm not sure if any of the other options I listed offer similar multi device packages.

I get round it by using a small laptop on site then plug it into a dock at home to use with a standard keyboard and monitor, so only one license and no mobile version. Only bought one years care package in four years, and that gave me the 18th edition updates. So total cost for four years has been £280-ish inc vat.

I went with Shineforms and I like it BUT I have now found out that if you don't renew it at full price every year then Shineforms will stop working. £75 a year soon starts to make in expensive compared to EasyCert and, providing it is good software, there really isn't much support required to fill in forms.

Be careful everyone. Shimeform are not selling you the software, they are selling you a 12 month licence.

Company I’m working for at the moment, use Amtech or Trimble as it is now known.

I had that too expensive.
