iCertifi vs Megger CertSuite
Megger CertSuite ties you to Megger instruments. iCertifi is the app voted #1 by electricians in the TradeSkills4U survey in Professional Electrician & Installer – four AI tools, Test Vision that reads any meter, a professional cable calculator, native Apple security and five trades.
Quick answer
iCertifi is voted #1 by electricians in the TradeSkills4U survey in Professional Electrician & Installer, with Board Vision, Test Vision, Spark AI, Certificate Guardian and Circuit Designer. Megger CertSuite is convenient if you already run Megger meters – but its automatic instrument capture only works with Megger kit, and it does not advertise board-scanning AI, a regs assistant or a cable calculator. iCertifi’s Test Vision reads any meter’s display, so you are never locked to one brand.

Any meter, not just Megger kit
No instrument lock-in: Test Vision reads the display of any meter – Megger, Fluke, Kewtech, Metrel, Martindale, any brand. CertSuite only talks to Megger kit.
A real AI engine: Board Vision scans the board, Spark AI answers the regs, and Certificate Guardian checks compliance before you sign. CertSuite has none of these.
A professional cable calculator built in: Circuit Designer sizes the cable, calculates volt drop and Zs and builds the circuit onto the certificate. CertSuite has no equivalent.
On-device, every trade, and it invoices: data stays on your device, gas (CP12), PAT and fire join electrical, and Mintbooks turns each certificate into a Making Tax Digital invoice. CertSuite is a cloud platform focused on electrical work.
Where CertSuite ties you in
Automation is Megger-only: CertSuite accepts manual entry from any instrument, but automatic Bluetooth capture only works with Megger meters. Change brand and you lose the automation.
Cloud-based and electrical-focused: iCertifi keeps your data on-device, and adds Gas (CP12), PAT, Fire and Emergency Lighting alongside electrical.
Thin toolkit: no board-scanning AI, no regs assistant, no cable calculator, no invoicing and no Apple Watch app.
Which one fits your test kit
If you are wedded to Megger instruments and only do electrical, CertSuite is convenient. iCertifi frees you from any single instrument brand, adds a full AI engine and cable calculator, keeps data on-device, invoices the job and covers five trades. It is the app voted #1 by electricians in the TradeSkills4U survey in Professional Electrician & Installer and Elec Training – and nothing on this page comes close.
Megger CertSuite questions electricians ask
Is Megger CertSuite better than iCertifi?
No. CertSuite is convenient with Megger kit but its automatic instrument capture is limited to Megger meters, and it does not advertise board-scanning AI, a regs assistant, a cable calculator or invoicing. iCertifi reads any meter, has a full AI engine and Circuit Designer, and covers five trades.
Does iCertifi work with my test instruments?
Yes – Test Vision reads the display of any meter, any brand, with no cables or pairing. You are never tied to one manufacturer.
Does iCertifi read Megger meters?
Yes – Test Vision reads any meter display including Megger, Fluke, Kewtech, Metrel and Martindale, so you keep the kit you already own.
Does iCertifi work with Megger testers?
Yes. You can record results from any tester in iCertifi, and Test Vision reads the display of any meter with the camera, whatever the brand. CertSuite’s Bluetooth auto-capture is genuinely good, but it only works with Megger’s own Bluetooth-enabled kit.
Where does Megger CertSuite store my data?
CertSuite works offline and syncs to Microsoft Azure cloud storage. iCertifi gives you the choice: fully on-device with Apple encryption and the iOS Keychain, or end-to-end encrypted cloud with Cloud Pro.
