EasyCert review (UK, 2026)

EasyCert is electrical certificate software you buy once rather than rent every month. We compared its published prices, certificate list and user ratings on 12 October 2026 against subscription apps such as Tradecert and iCertifi.

Who should buy EasyCert, and who should not?

EasyCert key facts

What does EasyCert do well?

You pay once

Most certificate apps now charge monthly or yearly. EasyCert Pro is £174.95 and EasyCert Mobile is £224.95. If you keep using it for years, the cost per month falls well below any subscription we compared.

A wide certificate range

Beyond the standard BS 7671 forms, EasyCert includes fire detection and alarm certificates (BS 5839), emergency lighting certificates (BS 5266) and Solar PV certificates. That suits electricians who also do commercial fire and lighting work.

Up to date with Amendment 4

Tysoft's page says all its electrical software has been updated to BS 7671:2018 Amendment 4 2026. Our guide to BS 7671 Amendment 4 explains what changed on the forms.

Your logo, plain paper

Certificates print onto plain paper, and you can add any registered body's logo (NICEIC, NAPIT or Elecsa). A 2019 Professional Electrician product test also noted colour, header and footer options, electronic signatures and support for several named test engineers. It called EasyCert "A simple but excellent solution to a task that can be a real headache for electricians".

Backup and sharing

EasyCert lists "Online Web Backup" and sharing certificates through a cloud system. The mobile app uploads results over your phone's data connection for download into the desktop program.

Where does EasyCert fall short?

• Weak mobile ratings. EasyCert Mobile scores 2.5 from 57 ratings on the App Store and 3.2 from 135 reviews on Google Play (checked 12 Oct 2026).
• Desktop first. The mobile app records results on site and sends them to the desktop software. If you have no PC, this is the wrong tool.
• Hidden renewal price. The Customer Care Package renewal, which is how you get updates and support, has no published price.
• One device per licence. Pro covers one PC and Mobile covers one PC plus one mobile. Extra licences cost extra, price not shown.
• Few independent reviews. Capterra UK has no user reviews, and the main hands-on review we found dates from 2019.
• No job management. No quotes, invoices or scheduling.

How much does EasyCert cost?

Capterra UK lists a "starting price" of £194 per user, which does not match Tysoft's own page. We go with the vendor's prices. You pay by card or cheque, and activation details are emailed to you.

Worked example: three years of certificates

Unless the care renewal turns out to be expensive, EasyCert is the cheapest of these over three years. Ask Tysoft for the renewal price before you buy. The trade-off is the mobile experience.

EasyCert features in detail

One-off licence

You own the version you buy. The Customer Care Package (renewable for 12 months at a time) covers updates and support, so budget for it when regulations change.

Certificates

Domestic Electrical Installation Certificate, Domestic EICR, Minor Works Certificate, Electrical Installation Certificate and Electrical Installation Condition Report under BS 7671, plus fire alarm, emergency lighting and Solar PV forms. For help with codes on condition reports, see our EICR guide.

Windows desktop

The 2019 Professional Electrician test ran EasyCert on Windows. Tysoft's page does not name the operating system, so Mac users should ask first.

What do users say about EasyCert?

The app store scores are for the mobile companion app only, not the desktop program, which has no app store listing. The Google Play app was updated on 6 August 2026, so it is still maintained.

Who is EasyCert best for?

• Sole trader electricians with a PC: the best fit. Lowest long-run cost.
• Electricians doing fire and emergency lighting: a good fit, as those forms are included.
• Phone-only electricians: look at Tradecert or iCertifi instead.
• Electricians on a landlord round: if you do a lot of rental EICRs, you will fill in the same condition report many times a month. A PC with a proper keyboard is quicker for long schedules of test results, which plays to EasyCert's strength. If you would rather finish each report before you leave the property, a phone-first app is the better choice.
• Teams of 3 or more: every extra PC or phone needs another licence at an unpublished price, so get a quote and compare it with a job app that includes certificates, such as Tradify Pro at £37 per user per month.
