Comparison
An AllDayPA alternative for trades
A receptionist that only does trades: it knows the questions to ask, answers 24/7, and costs a flat £89 a month.
An AllDayPA alternative made for trades
AllDayPA is a well-known UK answering and PA service used by businesses across many sectors.
Trades tend to look elsewhere because a general script does not capture the details that matter: what the job is, where it is, how urgent it is, and whether a site visit makes sense. They also want a price that does not jump when the phone gets busy.
TradeRing is built only for UK trades and charges one flat monthly price.

What you'd actually pay
AllDayPA prices by plan and call volume, so your monthly bill depends on how busy the phone gets and whether you add out-of-hours cover. Check their current published pricing before you compare — it changes.
TradeRing is a flat £89 a month, or £79 a month paid annually, with evenings, weekends and bank holidays already included. A busy month costs the same as a quiet one.
The cost guide explains how per-call, per-minute and bundled-minute pricing works out in practice for a trade business.
Where a human PA still wins
Honestly: AllDayPA do more than answer the phone. Diary management, admin, overflow support — that is a person's job, and software will not replace it.
If what you actually need is every trade enquiry answered and qualified while you're on the tools, TradeRing does that faster and for a fraction of the cost.
Common questions
Why do trades look for an AllDayPA alternative?
AllDayPA is a UK personal assistant and answering service covering many industries. Trades often want a service that understands job-specific questions and charges a flat monthly fee rather than one that scales with call volume.
Is TradeRing cheaper than AllDayPA?
TradeRing is a flat £89 a month with no per-call or per-minute charges. If your call volume is unpredictable, that can make budgeting much simpler.
Can an AI receptionist replace a PA?
For call answering and lead capture, yes. TradeRing answers, qualifies and books appointments. It does not handle general admin, email management or complex diary juggling the way a dedicated PA might.
How quickly can I switch?
Usually the same day. Keep your existing number, set the divert, and TradeRing starts answering your missed calls immediately.
