Commusoft and Manifold, side by side.

Both keep your customers, jobs and gas certificates in one place. The difference is focus: an all-trade suite versus a tool shaped entirely around Gas Safe work.

This comparison reflects Commusoft's publicly described product and pricing as of mid-2026. Features and prices change, so check their current details before you decide. Manifold is a workflow and record-keeping tool, not a regulator; gas safety work must be carried out by an appropriately Gas Safe registered engineer, and camera capture suggests values you confirm.

Why gas engineers pick Manifold.

Everything below is live in Manifold today, the reasons a sole trader or small firm chooses a focused gas tool over a broad suite.

Purpose-built for Gas Safe

CP12s and every UK gas record are the product, not one form type in a generic job app. The workflow matches how a gas engineer actually works a job.

Try it before you commit

A 30-day free trial with no card, and pricing from £15 per engineer per month, see it on your own jobs, not just a sales demo.

Offline-first capture

Built for lofts, basements and vans with no signal. FlueScan reads the analyser and PlateScan reads the data plate; you always confirm the value.

Renewals that chase themselves

The full compliance lifecycle, 60, 30 and 7-day reminders, then overdue, is included, so nothing depends on you remembering.

Open by default

A read-only API and signed webhooks come as standard, with a Power BI / OData connector on Growth and up, so your data is never locked in.

Commusoft vs Manifold: common questions.

Is Manifold a good Commusoft alternative?

If your work is gas and heating rather than a spread of trades, yes. Manifold is purpose-built for the UK Gas Safe workflow, CP12s, appliance registers, automated renewals and tenant delivery, with offline capture and an entry price of £15 per engineer per month. Commusoft is a broader all-trade suite; the right choice depends on how much of a general field-service platform you need.

Can I move my data from Commusoft to Manifold?

Yes. Export your customers and properties from Commusoft as a CSV and import them into Manifold. The importer shows a dry-run preview before anything saves, skips or updates duplicates, and lets you undo the whole batch in one click. For a large portfolio, talk to us about a concierge migration.

How does Manifold's pricing compare with Commusoft's?

Manifold publishes its pricing from £15 per engineer per month with a 30-day free trial and no card required. Commusoft's pricing is quote-based via a demo. Compare the current details on each site before deciding, as plans change.

Do I lose anything by choosing a gas-only tool?

You trade breadth for focus. If you need deep multi-trade field service (large teams across electrical, plumbing and more), a broad suite may suit better. If you're a gas engineer or small heating firm, a tool shaped around Gas Safe work removes the parts you'd never use and keeps the parts you rely on every day.

Can I keep Commusoft while I try Manifold?

Yes, and we'd recommend it. Run the free trial alongside your current system on real jobs, check the two against each other, and switch over fully only when you're confident nothing is missing.
