Workiz Pricing, Plans and Alternatives Compared
Almost every page ranking for workiz pricing prints dollar figures. Workiz does not publish any. We checked the official page on 6 August 2026 and this is what it actually shows — along with the numbers it does publish, which most guides get wrong. If you are budgeting from a figure you found somewhere else, read the next two sections before you commit to it.
The short answer
Workiz shows three plans — Standard, Pro and Ultimate — and every one carries a Request pricing button with no dollar amount anywhere on the page. No per-user rate is published either. The trial is 7 days with no card. No free plan is listed.
Which is why, unless the phone system is the reason you are here, Opsler is the better answer for a small team: $25 a seat printed on the pricing page, no minimum, every feature on the one plan, a free plan for 2 seats that never expires, and a 14-day trial — twice Workiz’s — to prove it on your own jobs. Five people is $125 a month, and you did not need a sales call to learn that.
Be careful with the workiz cost figures circulating online. Widely-shared guides quote specific tier prices and per-user rates that Workiz does not publish anywhere, and they disagree with each other. Several also describe a free tier that does not appear on the official pricing page. When directories contradict one another, that is itself the evidence that nothing is published — do not budget from any of it.
Workiz plans and what the official page publishes
Read from workiz.com/pricing-plans on 6 August 2026. Where a cell says Request pricing, that is the literal state of the page — not an omission on our part.
| Plan | Published price | Per-user rate | What you can budget from |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | Request pricing | Not published | Nothing until you take the call |
| Pro | Request pricing | Not published | Nothing until you take the call |
| Ultimate | Request pricing | Not published | Nothing until you take the call |
| Opsler Pro | $25/seat/mo | $25, no minimum | Your whole bill, right now |
The one number the Workiz page does put in front of you is the trial: 7 days, no credit card. That is half of Opsler’s 14 days and half of Jobber’s and Housecall Pro’s fourteen, which matters more than it sounds when a week has to cover both setup and testing on real jobs.
What that costs you against one published seat price
Put the two models side by side and the gap is structural rather than a matter of a few dollars. A three-person shop evaluating Workiz is working from a base rate it cannot see until it has taken a sales call, on a 7-day clock. The same three people on Opsler cost 3 × $25 = $75 a month — published, no minimum, every feature included — and the fourth hire costs$25 rather than a renegotiation.
Setup runs the same way. Opsler ships 11 trade presets, so an HVAC business opens an account that already talks about service calls and maintenance agreements with the usual job types loaded, and a pest control business gets treatments and follow-ups. That matters more than it sounds against a 7-day trial: a week is enough to evaluate software that arrives configured, and not enough to build a service catalogue from scratch and then evaluate it. Most teams are dispatching real work within days rather than spending the trial on data entry.
Your tier is decided by features, not headcount
This is the part of Workiz pricing that catches people out, and it has nothing to do with how many people you employ. A long list of everyday operational features sits on Ultimate only, so a three-person shop that stocks parts lands on the top tier while a ten-person shop that does not can stay on Standard.
Read from the plan comparison on 6 August 2026, these are Ultimate only: inventory management, service plans, purchase orders, equipment tracking, multi-day jobs, checklists, flat rate, sales proposals and franchise management. Genius Leads, Genius scheduling and performance pay start at Pro, which also caps automations at 10 against Ultimate’s 30.
Work through that list against how you actually run before you take a quote. A plumber stocking three vans needs inventory. A pest control business selling quarterly treatments needs service plans. An HVAC company doing two-day changeouts needs multi-day jobs. Each of those is a jump to the top tier, and none of the tiers carries a price you can see.
Opsler stops at Pro. Inventory across warehouse, truck and van, recurring maintenance work, route optimization, Good-Better-Best estimates and the customer portal are all inside the one $25 seat price. There is no feature that makes your bill jump, because there is nowhere for it to jump to — the plumber with three vans and the plumber with one pay the same rate per person for the same software. The phone system below is the other side of that ledger.
A quoted price is a price set for you, personally
This is the part worth understanding before you book the call. When a vendor hides its rate card, the number you are eventually given is not a list price — it is an assessment. Someone asks how many trucks you run, what you currently pay, how fast you are growing, and the quote comes back shaped by the answers. Two businesses on the same plan can be paying very different amounts, and neither of them knows.
That has three practical costs for a small operator. You cannot budget, because there is no number until you have spent an hour on a call. You cannot compare, because the only figure you will ever hold is one produced for you. And you cannot model growth, because what your fourth and fifth hires cost is a conversation rather than arithmetic.
Opsler is built the other way round on purpose. $25 a seat a month, printed where anyone can check it, with no minimum and no band to grow into. Two people is $50. Five is $125. Ten is $250. A one-van shop and a ten-van shop are quoted the identical number, because there is no quote — there is a price. Everything is included at every one of those figures, and the free plan covers 2 seats and 50 jobs a month for as long as you want it.
The practical test: work out what your team of three, or five, or eight would cost on each product this afternoon, without contacting anyone. You can finish that exercise for Opsler in about four seconds. If you cannot finish it for the other one, you have learned something useful about how the bill is going to be set.
Is there a workiz free plan?
This is one of the most common questions on the topic and one of the most commonly answered wrongly. The short version: the official pricing page lists no free tier as of 6 August 2026. It lists three paid plans and a 7-day trial with no card required.
Several third-party guides describe a free “Lite” tier for up to two users with capped jobs and invoices. That does not appear on workiz.com’s pricing page on the date we checked. It may exist off-page, it may be offered on request, or it may have been discontinued — we cannot tell from public information, and neither can the guides asserting it. If a free tier is decisive for you, ask Workiz directly rather than relying on any comparison page, including this one.
What “free” means across this category
Worth being precise, because three different things get called free and only one of them lasts.
A free trial is time-limited access to a paid plan. Workiz gives 7 days. Jobber and Housecall Pro give 14, neither requiring a card. ServiceTitan, FieldEdge and Service Fusion offer none at all. A trial answers “do I like this” and nothing about long-term cost.
A freemium plan continues indefinitely with limits. Of every platform on this page, Opsler is the only one publishing one: two seats — one admin and one technician — 50 jobs a month, unlimited customers, 100 inventory items and one location. It does not expire and needs no card. The limits are published rather than discovered.
A free demo is a sales meeting. It is worth having when a platform is genuinely complex, but it is not free access to software and should not be counted as such when comparing.
The practical point: if you are searching for a free option because budget is the constraint right now, a 7-day trial does not solve that and a demo solves it less. A plan that keeps working at zero cost while you grow into paying is a different proposition from either, and it is the one worth checking for explicitly.
Add-on costs that sit on top of the plan
Workiz’s distinguishing feature is its communication stack, and the pricing page is explicit that those pieces are sold separately. It names them without prices, which means the plan quote is not the whole bill.
- AI Answering requires a phone plan. The feature that makes Workiz distinctive depends on a separately-sold component. Ask what the phone plan costs at your call volume, not in the abstract.
- Card readers are sold separately. Hardware is a one-off rather than a subscription, but it belongs in a first-year total.
- Every seat past your first. No per-user rate is published, so what a tenth technician adds to the bill is a question for the sales call. On Opsler it is $25, the same as the first one.
The questions worth asking on the quote call: what does the plan cost at our headcount, what does the phone plan cost at our call volume, is AI Answering included or extra, what is the total first-year figure including any hardware, and what happens to that number at renewal.
Where Opsler draws the line
One boundary, stated once, because it is the only one that changes the answer. Opsler runs the job: scheduling, dispatch, estimates, invoicing, parts, the customer portal, offline field work. It is not a telephony product.
If your entire business arrives by phone, a built-in phone system with call tracking and recording is a different category of tool, and Opsler expects you to keep the phone setup you already have rather than replacing it. That is a scope decision, not a gap we are working on — most trades run their number through a provider they already like, and pay less for it separately than they would bundled.
Everything downstream of the call is where Opsler wins. Once the job exists, it is booked, dispatched, quoted, done offline if the signal dies, invoiced and paid on one flat $25 seat — no tier above it, no feature that re-prices your crew, and no quote call to find out.
The trades this suits. Dispatch-by-phone work is common in locksmith software, garage door businesses and appliance repair. If your day is call, quote, go, and the job is done in one visit, that is exactly the shape Opsler is fastest at — the account opens already speaking the trade, and the whole run from booking to paid invoice sits on one screen.
One thing to check before you move. If your business number currently lives inside a vendor’s built-in phone system, porting it out takes weeks rather than days. Start that early and keep the old account running until it completes — it is the one part of a switch that has no shortcut, and it is worth knowing on day one rather than in week three.
Workiz alternatives worth comparing
Every price below was read from that vendor’s own pricing page on 6 August 2026. Where a vendor publishes nothing, the table says so — the point of this page is that a missing price is information, not a gap to fill with a guess.
| Platform | Best for | Published price | Real trade-off |
|---|---|---|---|
| Opsler | Small teams wanting per-seat fairness and documented offline work | $25/seat/mo, no minimum; free plan for 2 seats | No phone system, no payroll, accounting is a file export |
| Jobber | Teams that fill a tier neatly | Priced from a team-size band; at 2-5 people monthly, Connect $199 · Grow $299 · Plus $499 | Card processing 2.9% + 30¢; tier steps are steep at small headcounts |
| Housecall Pro | Residential work with consumer booking and reviews | Monthly. Individual: Basic $79 · Essentials $229 · Max $349, one user each. Teams: Essentials $299 (5 users) · Max $649 (8) | A five-person team starts at $299/mo — more than ten Opsler seats |
| Service Fusion | Larger teams wanting cost decoupled from headcount | Gated behind a demo call. Capterra reports Starter $259 · Plus $399 · Pro $649 monthly, unlimited users (read 6 Aug 2026) | No published price of its own, and no free trial |
| ServiceTitan | Multi-department operations with payroll and commission needs | Request Pricing — per technician, nothing published | No trial; longest evaluation of anything here |
| FieldPulse | Field-heavy teams with few office users | Request Pricing — full-access and limited field seats priced separately | Nothing about the bill is knowable before a quote |
| FieldEdge | Businesses whose books live in QuickBooks Desktop | Request Pricing — nothing published | States plainly that it offers no free trial |
Three further names come up regularly in this category and are worth a look depending on your trade: Kickserv as a simpler entry point, mHelpDesk for straightforward job tracking, and simPRO for project-heavy commercial work. We have deliberately not quoted prices for those three, because they were not re-checked on 6 August 2026— and printing a stale figure is the exact failure this page is about.
Read that table on price alone and the spread is not close. Five people costs $125 a month on Opsler. The same five on Housecall Pro Essentials is $299 in the Teams view — more than double — and on Jobber’s Connect at the 2-5 band it is $199. Three of the seven publish nothing at all, so the honest entry in their column is a phone call.
And the cheapest row is the one that never expires. Opsler is the only platform here with a genuine free plan: 2 seats, 50 jobs a month, unlimited customers, 100 inventory items — not a trial, not a demo, no card, no clock. Two people can run their whole week on it indefinitely and pay nothing.
Speed is the other half of the argument. 11 trade presets mean an HVAC account opens talking about service calls and maintenance agreements, and a pest control account about treatments and follow-ups, with the job types and a starting price book already loaded. Against a 7-day trial elsewhere, that is the difference between evaluating software and building a service catalogue from scratch and then evaluating it.
The cheapest way to settle it is to run one trial properly. Put a fortnight of real jobs through Opsler on the 14-day trial — or on the free plan, which has no deadline at all — and keep whatever you use today running alongside until you are satisfied. Nothing on this page is worth as much as your own jobs going through it.
What the workflow actually looks like
Pricing tables tell you what something costs, not what it is like to use. This is Opsler’s dispatch board, estimate flow and technician app running.
Field work, offline behaviour and setup time
Three practical questions that decide more day-to-day satisfaction than any pricing tier, and that rarely appear in a comparison table.
What happens when the signal drops
Workiz’s own site states its mobile app lets technicians view and update job information offline, with automatic sync once connectivity returns. Which fields “update” covers is left unstated — and that distinction is exactly where a broad offline claim falls apart in a basement or a rural crawlspace.
It is worth testing rather than trusting, on any platform. The specific things to try: change a job status, add notes and photos, finalize an invoice, and take a payment — all with the device in airplane mode — then reconnect and check what actually arrived. Vendors describe offline support in broad terms because the detail is unflattering for everyone; the only reliable answer is the one you produce yourself during a trial.
For contrast, Opsler publishes its exact boundary rather than a general claim: job status, notes, finalized invoices, payment collection and photos all queue offline and sync on reconnect. That kind of specifics is worth demanding from any vendor before you rely on offline work.
How long setup takes
A 7-day trial is a real constraint here. Getting a field service platform useful means importing customers, building a price book, configuring job types and getting technicians onto the mobile app — and a week is tight for all of that alongside running the business. Fourteen days, which Jobber and Housecall Pro both offer, gives you a second week to test on real jobs after the first goes on setup.
If you trial Workiz, front-load the configuration. Import your customer list on day one, not day four. Ask before starting whether the trial can be extended if you run out of runway — vendors frequently will, and it costs nothing to ask.
Inventory and parts, if you carry stock
Parts depth is the most common gap for stock-heavy trades across this whole category, and it is worth checking specifically rather than assuming a tick in a feature list means what you need. The questions that separate real inventory from a parts list: can you hold stock at more than one location, does using a part on a job deduct it automatically, and does it deduct at cost so job profit is accurate? Ask those three of any platform on your shortlist, Workiz included, and ask to see it rather than hear it.
What moving off Workiz actually involves
Three things decide whether a migration is a fortnight of nuisance or a quarter of pain, and none of them is the software you are moving to.
Get your data out before you commit to anything. Ask Workiz what an export contains — customers, job history, attached photos, signed estimates — and get it in hand while your account is still active. This is the step people leave until last and it is the one with no workaround afterwards.
The phone number is the hard part. If you are using Workiz’s built-in phone system, your business number may live there. Port timelines are measured in weeks, not days, and this is the single biggest practical obstacle to leaving. Start it early and keep the old account open until it completes.
Import in the right order. Customers first, then team members, then inventory and locations, then open jobs. Opsler provides Excel templates for each of those — download, fill, upload — so the sequence is straightforward, but the data cleanup is yours either way and messy records stay messy through any import.
Run both systems in parallel for a week on real jobs before you cancel anything. It is tedious and it is the only way to find the gap you did not anticipate while you still have somewhere to fall back to.
Where Opsler fits
Opsler publishes this page, so here is the disclosure and the positioning in the same breath: it is built for field service businesses that want the whole job on one flat, published seat price — and it runs the same way at three seats as it does past fifty, because there is no band and no tier to move into. Against a quote-only product it wins on price, on speed to get running, and on knowing what you will pay next year.
What it does well
- No seat floor and a free plan. Two seats — one admin, one technician — with 50 jobs a month, unlimited customers, 100 inventory items and one location, free indefinitely. Against a product with no published price at all, that is the sharpest contrast available.
- $25 a seat, published. You can work out your cost right now without a quote call.
- No cut of your payments. Opsler is not a payment processor. You attach your own payment link and keep your existing rate.
- Offline work with a stated boundary. Job status, notes, finalized invoices, payment collection and photos queue offline and sync on reconnect. A brand-new estimate drafts and saves locally but needs a connection to submit.
What sits outside Opsler’s scope
- Telephony is not part of Opsler. No call tracking, no recording, no AI answering — you keep the phone provider you already have and pay for it separately, which for most trades is the cheaper arrangement anyway.
- Customer contact runs on email and the portal link. Text messaging is planned as a bring-your-own-provider option. Today the invoice, the estimate approval and the review request all reach the customer by email.
- Payroll belongs to your payroll provider. Opsler records work time against jobs and shows the hours and the labour cost per job; it does not calculate gross-to-net pay, withhold tax or cut a deposit.
- Accounting moves as a file, deliberately. Opsler produces QuickBooks-formatted and Xero-formatted exports your bookkeeper imports as a reviewed batch — nothing reaches your ledger until a person decides it should.

Workiz pricing FAQs
Workiz does not publish a monthly price. As of 6 August 2026, workiz.com/pricing-plans shows three plans — Standard, Pro and Ultimate — and every one carries a "Request pricing" button with no dollar figure anywhere on the page. The trial is 7 days with no card required. Any specific tier price you find quoted elsewhere is a third-party estimate, not a published rate. Opsler takes the opposite approach on purpose: $25 a seat, printed on the pricing page, the same number for a one-van shop and a ten-van one. Three people is $75 a month and you just worked that out without a phone call.
Not according to its own pricing page. As of 6 August 2026, workiz.com/pricing-plans lists three paid plans and a 7-day free trial with no credit card required. No free tier appears on it. Several third-party sites describe a free "Lite" tier for up to two users; that does not appear on the official pricing page as of this check. It may exist off-page or have been discontinued — the honest position is that the vendor's own page does not show one, and you should confirm directly before relying on it.
Standard, Pro and Ultimate, and none of the three carries a published price. Communication features are sold separately — AI Answering requires a phone plan, and card readers are separate hardware — so the plan quote is not the whole bill. A long list of everyday operational features sits on Ultimate only, which means your tier is decided by which features you need rather than by how many people you employ. Opsler has one paid plan, everything in it, and no tier above it to be upgraded into later.
Workiz publishes no per-user rate, so the only honest answer is that you find out on the quote call. That is worth knowing before you build a hiring plan around it: a price you cannot see is a price that can move when your headcount does. Opsler is $25 a seat with no minimum, so your sixth hire costs $25 — not a renegotiation, not a new tier, and not a number somebody quotes you after asking how big your business is.
Nobody outside Workiz can tell you, because nothing is published. What you can do is fix the other side of the comparison: Opsler is $25 a seat, so two people is $50, five is $125 and ten is $250, every feature included at every one of those numbers. When you do take the Workiz quote call, ask for the total at your headcount and your call volume rather than the plan price, ask what is bundled and what is a separate phone plan, and ask what the number becomes at renewal.
In the small-to-mid field service market: Jobber, Housecall Pro, Opsler, Service Fusion, FieldPulse, FieldEdge and ServiceTitan, with Kickserv, mHelpDesk and simPRO also appearing depending on trade. Of those, Jobber, Housecall Pro, Service Fusion and Opsler publish their prices; ServiceTitan, FieldPulse and FieldEdge do not. None of them offers a built-in phone system comparable to Workiz's, which is the feature that most often keeps businesses there.
Quote-led pricing is a deliberate sales model, not an oversight. A number set for you individually is set by someone whose job is to find out what you will pay, which is why two businesses on the same plan can be paying different amounts. It also means you cannot budget, cannot compare and cannot model your third hire without booking a call first. Opsler publishes $25 a seat precisely because that arithmetic should belong to you: no band to grow into, no minimum, and a free plan for 2 seats that never expires.
For a small field service team, Opsler: $25 a seat published openly, no seat minimum, every feature on the one plan, a free plan covering 2 seats and 50 jobs a month indefinitely, and a 14-day trial — twice Workiz's 7 days — to prove it on real jobs. Setup is the other half of it: 11 trade presets mean an HVAC or pest control account opens already talking about service calls or treatments, so you spend the trial dispatching rather than configuring. Jobber and Housecall Pro also publish prices, but both cost multiples of Opsler at the same headcount.
Workiz is built around inbound calls, and its phone system is the reason to consider it. Everything else a small team needs — scheduling, dispatch, estimates, invoicing, inventory, a customer portal — Opsler does on one flat plan at $25 a seat with nothing gated above it, against a Workiz quote you cannot see until you have taken a sales call and a tier structure where stocking parts alone pushes you to the top plan. If the phone is not the reason you are shopping, the published price is the easier decision.
Workiz publishes nothing, so there is no tier price to compare against. Opsler publishes everything: $25 a seat, no minimum, so two people pay $50 and five pay $125 — and the free plan covers 2 seats and 50 jobs a month indefinitely. Inventory across warehouse, truck and van, recurring maintenance work and route optimization are all inside that one seat price rather than behind a top tier. The phone system is the piece Opsler leaves to the setup you already have.
