Workiz pricing and alternatives for trades

Workiz sells job software in three plans and shows no price for any of them. Its AI answering is a separate add-on. Here is what its own pages say, next to a founder-run service you can add on top of the software you keep.

Workiz alternatives

Workiz is job software first, so its closest rivals are other job software with an answering add-on. If you only want calls and texts handled, you can also keep Workiz and add a separate service.

  • Jobber: the software runs $49 to $499 a month, and selected plans can add an AI Receptionist for $29 a month. Its prices are on its site, which Workiz's are not.
  • Housecall Pro: plans cost $59, $149 or $299 a month on annual billing, and its call-answering add-on carries no published price.
  • SvarKlar: for shops that stay on their current job software and hand the lead replies to someone else.

Prices and features checked October 2026, from Workiz's public pages. Sources are linked in each row and listed below; where Workiz shows nothing, the row says "not published openly".

Search for Workiz pricing and you will find a few old third-party numbers, but Workiz's own page gives none. That shapes how you compare it with anything else.

Workiz pricing is a quote, not a price list

Each of the three plans carries a "Request pricing" button. Standard is pitched at growing teams, Pro at mid-size teams and Ultimate at multi-location teams and franchises. Seat counts and contract terms are not on the page either, so ask for both in writing before you sign.

Older review sites quote monthly figures for Standard and Pro. We left them out because Workiz does not stand behind them today, and they disagree with each other.

What Standard, Pro and Ultimate add up to

Standard covers scheduling, invoices, jobs and estimates, online payments, client management and a QuickBooks link. Pro adds Genius Leads, Genius Scheduling, performance pay and custom reports. Ultimate adds service plans, sales proposals, inventory, checklists, franchise management and an open API. The plans also cap automations at 5, 10 and 30.

If you run a crew and want dispatch, invoices and estimates in one place, that is real software. It is a different purchase from answering the phone.

Genius Answering and the other add-ons

Genius Phone, Genius Answering and Genius Marketing are all sold separately from the plans. Genius Answering takes calls, emails, texts, lead sources and web forms around the clock, and can book, reschedule or cancel jobs. Its page says live transfers to your own staff are available only during business hours, so ask what happens to a late-night call that needs a person.

The page names no price, no plan it needs and no included call count. Ask Workiz for all three, then add them to the software quote before you judge the total.

Keeping Workiz and adding SvarKlar on top

You do not have to pick. Plenty of shops run their jobs in software and still lose the lead that came in while the crew was on a roof. SvarKlar leaves your scheduling and dispatch alone. It answers your calls, texts back the ones it misses and replies to new leads.

The setup and the daily running are Frederik's job. First time looking at this kind of tool? Here is what an AI receptionist does.

Who Workiz suits

We are the other option here, so this is our side of it. If you want one vendor for jobs, payments, phone and AI answering, and you can get a quote that fits, Workiz does more than we do. SvarKlar will not replace a full field service platform.

Workiz gives you software and an optional AI answering add-on, both priced through a sales call. SvarKlar gives you one monthly price and Frederik on the other end of the line. Pick by whether you need a platform or just the leads answered.

Book a call if you cannot tell whether you need a platform or only the replies, or see how SvarKlar works.

Next step

On the call, Frederik checks where your leads slip today and says whether Workiz's answering add-on or a service on top of your software closes the gap. If it is the add-on, expect him to say that.
