Which might suit you

Framed as requirements, not a verdict. Both descriptions come from the same data.

Consider Payaca if…

  • you need a price you can plan against before talking to sales
  • you need it to connect to tools you already run (11 named)
  • AI-assisted workflows matter to you
  • your work is mostly residential

It fits established UK solar, heat pump, battery and EV-charger installers who want MCS handover packs and G98/G99 DNO applications inside the same workflow as the job, and who have the headcount to absorb a four-figure monthly fee. It is emphatically not for a small installer or a sole trader: the standard plan is £1,199 a month before VAT, with a one-off £1,500 onboarding fee, and there is no free trial — the entry point for anyone outside the Accelerator eligibility window is roughly £15,900 in year one.

Full Payaca profile

Consider Sunbase (Solar CRM) if…

  • your work is mostly residential

It suits a contractor running more than one trade, or a solar EPC that also does roofing, and that wants one system rather than a solar point tool — the vendor builds its whole pitch on cross-trade modularity. It is not for a buyer who wants to compare prices before talking to sales: Sunbase publishes a floor and nothing else, and explicitly rejects fixed tiers as a matter of policy. It is also not a solar-specialist product; solar is one of four industries it addresses.
