The phone is where Workiz makes its case. Most field service tools bolt call handling on as an afterthought. Workiz built call tracking and dispatch into the core instead, and that is the whole pitch. The US field service software market was worth around $3.1 billion in 2026 (IBISWorld), and most tools in it handle scheduling and invoicing just fine. Building the phone in is the rarer trick. Workiz sits at 4.4 out of 5 on Capterra across 218 reviews, and 4.6 on the Apple App Store across about 2,100 ratings. Decent scores, but they don’t tell you who it actually fits. So who should buy it, and who should keep looking?

Key takeaways

  • Every paid tier (Standard, Pro, Ultimate) covers your first 5 users. After that it’s about $55 to $65 per extra user each month.
  • The built-in phone system is the standout. Ratings back that up: 4.4/5 on Capterra (218 reviews) and 4.6/5 on the Apple App Store (about 2,100 ratings).
  • Best for on-demand HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and repair shops that run a real call-and-dispatch desk. If you are solo, Jobber is usually the better call.

How much does Workiz cost?

Workiz won’t put a base price on the page. You get that from a demo. The structure is public, though. Three paid tiers, Standard, Pro, and Ultimate, and each one covers your first 5 users. Past that, Standard runs about $55 per extra user a month and Pro about $65 (Workiz pricing, 2026). You get a 7-day free trial, no credit card. There is no free plan that lasts.

Those five seats are the number to watch if you run a small shop. Keep your team at five or under and you stay on the base rate. Add people and the per-seat charge climbs, quicker on Pro than on Standard. Since the base figure only comes out during a demo, do the per-user math yourself first and get the quote in writing before you sign. Our Workiz pricing guide runs the numbers.

Plan Users included Extra user (monthly) What it adds
Standard 5 +$55 Scheduling, dispatch, invoicing, built-in phone
Pro 5 +$65 Adds automation, reporting, more customization
Ultimate 5 Quote Adds advanced and enterprise features

Base prices are quote-only, so read the table as the shape of the deal rather than a final bill. The 7-day trial lets you kick the tires first. There is no free tier waiting if you decide to leave.

What is Workiz best at?

The phone system, and it is not close. Hardly any field service tool ships real VoIP call tracking, and that is the feature reviewers keep pointing to (Software Advice, 2026). If inbound calls are how you get work, this is where Workiz pays for itself.

Built-in phone and call tracking

You can track which ads and campaigns are driving the calls, record them, route them, and pin each one to a job. For a business that lives on the phone, that closes a gap most tools leave wide open. It is why a lot of on-demand shops land on Workiz to begin with.

Fast scheduling and dispatch

The calendar and drag-to-dispatch are quick to learn, and the automated reminders cut down on no-shows. Reviewers keep calling the interface straightforward. That counts for more than it sounds when you are training a new dispatcher.

One system for the whole job

Invoicing, card payments, and a CRM live right next to the phone system. A small crew can get through the day without duct-taping three apps together. The billing happens in the same place you answered the call.

Where does Workiz fall short?

Two complaints come up over and over. Support, and the cost of add-ons. Reviewers say customer support can be slow to answer, and a handful of features you would expect to be included turn out to be paid extras (Software Advice, 2026).

The add-ons are the part that catches people out. SMS overages, payment processing, the AI assistant that reviewers put at around $200 a month. None of it is in the base plan. The price you were quoted and the bill you actually pay can pull apart quickly, so total up the extras you genuinely need before you sign.

The mobile app gets mixed reviews too. The App Store score sits at 4.6, but a chunk of reviewers still mention freezing and lag, and that hurts on a tool your techs carry all day. There is also the quote-only pricing. Lining Workiz up against a rival that publishes its rates means a sales call you might rather skip.

How does Workiz compare to Jobber and Housecall Pro?

Workiz wins on the phone system. Jobber and Housecall Pro win on published pricing, a more polished app, and slightly better ratings, and you can trial either one without talking to sales (vendor pricing pages and Capterra, 2026). Which one wins depends on how central the phone is to the way you book and dispatch work.

Housecall Pro $59/mo Per-user tiers 14-day 4.7 (Capterra)

Want a price on the site and a trial you can start yourself? Jobber and Housecall Pro make that painless. Workiz pulls ahead when the phone basically is your business and you want call tracking wired straight into dispatch.

Who should use Workiz?

It fits on-demand businesses that run a genuine call-and-dispatch desk. Think HVAC, plumbing, electrical, appliance repair, garage door, and locksmith shops. If inbound calls are what fill your calendar, the phone system alone is worth the money. That 4.4 on Capterra reads about right: a capable tool that people like, with a few rough edges.

Solo, or a two-person crew that books mostly online? The per-seat pricing and the quote-only base make Jobber or Housecall Pro an easier place to start. Either way, test the mobile app and get the add-on costs in writing before you commit.

Workiz FAQ

How much does Workiz cost per month?

Workiz keeps its base prices behind a quote. Each paid tier (Standard, Pro, Ultimate) covers the first 5 users, then charges roughly $55 to $65 per extra user a month. You get a 7-day free trial and no lasting free plan, so once the trial is up you are on a paid tier.

Does Workiz have a free trial?

Yes. It runs 7 days and does not ask for a credit card. There is no free plan beyond that. Want more time to test? Jobber and Housecall Pro both give you 14 days.

What is Workiz best known for?

The built-in phone system. Workiz folds VoIP call tracking, recording, and routing into the platform and links each call to a job, something most field service tools push off to a separate app. That makes it a natural fit for call-heavy, on-demand businesses.

How is Workiz rated by users?

It holds 4.4 out of 5 on Capterra from 218 reviews, and 4.6 on the Apple App Store from about 2,100 ratings. Reviewers like the phone system and the scheduling. They gripe about support speed and the paid add-ons.

The verdict

For call-driven, on-demand shops that want dispatch and a phone system under one roof, Workiz is an easy recommendation. The trade-offs are real, though. Base pricing hides behind a quote, the add-ons pad the bill, and support can get patchy. Put it side by side with Jobber and Housecall Pro, and skim our other field-service software reviews, before you decide.
