"After years fighting the NICEIC system, slow, complicated, and opaque, TestFast is a breath of fresh air. Data entry that used to take forever now takes minutes. The zero lag performance is crucial for me. As someone who enters all the data but does not approve certificates, I need something that just works. No loading screens, no crashes. Simple and transparent."

"Methods have fallen behind the times given the importance of the industry. TestFast has enabled us to focus more on actually testing and inspecting rather than data entry and proofreading. After losing schedules through one of the big bodies multiple times, my frustration was peaking. The zero-lag performance means no more lost work. Genuinely well-built software, and the back-end support has been fantastic. Everybody wins."

"NoteScribe OCR has been a game changer. I used to type every observation manually, now 60% of my report is done quicker, giving me more time for actual inspections. I scan my handwritten sheets and just QC what has been scanned instead of typing everything. More time on the tools, less time on admin."
Wayne Grant
Electrical Manager • Aberdeen • NICEIC • 20 years
"Other software tries to do everything and does it all badly, every update breaks something else. TestFast just does the basics brilliantly. Taking a photo of the board and having it auto-fill saves me 15-30 minutes per EICR, and the speed means I can be more thorough on site rather than rushing to escape the admin. Just try it, it changed my life."
Simon Hammond
Electrician/Director • Devon • NAPIT • 17 years
"The NICEIC online system always felt slower and clunkier than it needed to be. Now I can type up a whole schedule in about 30 minutes, it just works smoothly. I wouldn't recommend TestFast to anyone I wouldn't consider a true sparky. If you cut corners on test sheets or miss the obvious fails in front of your face, this isn't for you."
Callum Bradley
Director, Electri-Cal NE Ltd • Northumberland • 18 years
"Typing up observations used to eat my time. NoteScribe OCR has made my reports around 50% quicker and actually more thorough and professional. Better than any other software I've tried."
Stephen
Electrician • Leeds • NAPIT • 26 years
"Grid entry was such a pain I'd given up and gone back to handwritten reports entirely. TestFast changed that, the Observation Builder makes the whole process simple and I'm done in under 20 minutes. Fast, professional results every time."

Why does certificate software pricing feel hard to compare?
What costs are usually hidden until too late?
Many electrical certificate software pricing searches happen because electricians want a straight answer before they create an account.
Free offers that do not explain certificate limits clearly.
Paid plans that hide whether manual reports, automation, field users, or office users are included.
Credit systems that are hard to connect to real site work.
Pricing should make it obvious what you can try, when to upgrade, and how the cost changes as your report volume grows.
No one should need a sales call to understand the basics.
How does TestFast pricing work?
TestFast pricing is built around report volume and automation use. Start free, upgrade when the workload demands it, add field seats when more on-site electricians need their own login, and use credits for OCR and observation automation.
Free Plan: £0/month with up to 8 electrical reports, unlimited PAT reports, 100 signup credits, and no credit card requirement.
Standard: £15/month with unlimited manual reports, 500 monthly credits, full feature access, and no contract.
Unlimited: £30/month with unlimited manual reports and unlimited OCR and observation credits.
Start where your workload is, then move when the saved admin time justifies it.
The full plan table lives on the main pricing page. This page gives buyers the plain-English version first.

TestFast
Hey, it's Michael 👋
For 10 years, I was on the tools, thorough inspections, detailed observations, doing it right even when no one was watching.
Then I spent three years as a software engineer. I learned that slow, clunky tools are a choice, not a technical limitation.
When I came back to the tools, I couldn't unsee it. The EICR software was forcing me to choose: do thorough work, or get home on time.
I was rushing through observations to escape the interface. Skipping details to avoid the soul-crushing grid entry. I was doing worse work because software made thoroughness harder, not easier.
That's when I realised: if cheap tools make you do cheap work, then crap software makes you do crap reports. And I refused to accept that.
So I built TestFast on one principle:
Automation should eliminate the admin. Your expertise stays on the inspection.
- Your time on electrical work, not data entry
- Thoroughness should be easier, not harder
- Your standards don't change, the friction does
This isn't just another cert app. It's the tool I wish I'd had for the last decade.
Which TestFast plan fits your certificate workload?
Three pricing questions matter most. Reports, automation, seats.
How many electrical reports do you need?
A lower-volume electrician may only need a handful of EICR, EIC, or Minor Works reports each month.
That is exactly what the Free Plan is for.
Start with real reports before you commit.
Free Plan
£0/month with up to 8 electrical reports per month, unlimited PAT testing reports, 100 signup credits, and no credit card requirement.
Standard and Unlimited
Move to paid plans when you need unlimited manual reports, more automation, or heavier certificate volume.
- Choose by report volume first. Then look at automation and team needs.

What You Actually Get Back
Get Your Evenings Back
Finish on site at 5pm. Thorough inspection — 30-40 observations, proper testing, the full works.
Old way? That's 3 more hours at the laptop before you're done.
Now? 20 minutes. Report sent, invoice raised, finished.
Your thoroughness doesn't punish you anymore.
More Jobs. Same Standards.
Two hours saved per report adds up fast.
That's not cutting corners — that's friction gone.
- •Fit an extra job into your week without a longer day
- •Finally take on that commercial contract you've been putting off
- •Say yes to the client who needs it done by Friday
Your standards don't change. Your availability does.
Done Before They've Finished Their Tea.
Detailed report. Professional observations. Proper codes. Delivered same day.
That's not what clients expect from their electrician.
That's why they remember you.
That's the reputation that separates you from sparkies who cut corners.
How should you compare electrical certificate software pricing?
Do not compare only the headline monthly price. Compare certificate volume, automation credits, team seats, contract terms, and whether the software removes enough admin to pay for itself.

Questions to ask before choosing a plan:
How many EICR, EIC, and Minor Works reports do you produce each month?
Will OCR and automated observations save enough time to justify paid automation?
Do extra users need office review access or field testing access?
Can you upgrade, downgrade, or cancel without being locked into a contract?
The cheapest plan is not always the best value.
The best-fit plan is the one that matches your report volume and removes real admin. Start small, then upgrade when the workload proves it.
