The question gets asked every so often, for example here - https://forums.contractoruk.com/acco...ipse-plus.html
You aren't comparing like with like - Qdos are a company selling some insurance products, whereas IPSE has a very different offering.
It's been a while since I looked at everything that Qdos offers, but do they offer business interruption cover yet? For example, if you need to take time out to for a VAT audit, will Qdos help out?
IPSE+ gives you jury duty cover, payment if your client or agency go bust, payment if the agency breaks the contract, payment if you have to attend tax compliance meetings etc.
Also, IPSE+ gives your next of kin £5000 if you die while a member (I have £255k cover through IPSE)
Finally, IPSE are the only people in town that are talking to government and HMRC about working for yourself and the benefits that we provide to the economy (supported by accurate research).
You can read a list of member benefits here.Comment

They aren't the same thing so it's not really a simple question. Both will cover IR35 investigations, for roughly the same money. One will cover a hell of a lot more, for no more money. Depends if you value all those extras or not and obviously some don't.
Cost up the equivalent of the IPSE Plus package on the open market: that might clarify things...Blog? What blog...?
