  • They diverge on capability: Tradify covers Quoting, Workiz covers Call tracking and recording.

What people use each for

The jobs each tool is most often brought in to do.

Tradify

  • A three person electrical contractor on Xero wants quotes, timesheets and invoices in one app and refuses to sit through a demo or pay a setup fee.not Workiz
  • A plumbing firm needs technicians recording labour hours against jobs from a phone so the invoice reflects what was actually spent rather than what the office guessed.not Workiz
  • A UK trade business wants published pricing in pounds it can budget against, instead of the quote-only approach ServiceTitan and FieldEdge take.not Workiz
  • A builder wants to send professionally branded quotes fast enough to be first to respond, where the win rate depends on turnaround more than on document sophistication.not Workiz

Workiz

  • A locksmith or garage door company that buys most of its work from paid search and needs cost per booked job attributed to the phone number that rangnot Tradify
  • A five technician appliance repair firm replacing a shared Google Calendar and a paper invoice booknot Tradify
  • An operator who wants missed inbound calls flagged and followed up automatically rather than lost to a competitornot Tradify
  • A franchise group needing inventory, purchase orders and API access across several locations on one accountnot Tradify

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Tradify

  • Pricing is flat per user with no volume tiering, so a twenty person firm pays twenty times the headline rate and the economics get worse, not better, as you grow into the top of its stated market.
  • The advertised per-user price excludes SMS, which is charged per message, the Instant Website add-on at roughly ten pounds a month, and Stripe card processing fees, so a Pro seat sending two hundred texts a month can cost close to double the sticker price.
  • There is no free tier and no permanently free single-user plan, so a sole trader testing the water is paying from the end of the trial.
  • Inventory and stock control are minimal: it can bundle kits and raise purchase orders but will not track stock levels on vans or in a store, which rules it out for firms carrying real parts inventory.
  • It has no service agreement, recurring maintenance contract or flat-rate pricebook functionality, so HVAC and other maintenance-contract businesses outgrow it quickly and end up moving to FieldEdge or ServiceTitan.

Workiz

  • Workiz has removed list prices from its own pricing page, so plan cost now requires a quote and there is no public figure to hold the sales conversation against.
  • Each plan includes only a handful of members and additional ones are billed as add-ons at a rate the company does not publish, so a ten person crew costs substantially more than the base plan figure implies.
  • Automations are capped per tier at five, ten and thirty, so a business that automates follow-ups aggressively hits the ceiling and has to upgrade for the automation count alone rather than for any feature it wants.
  • Inventory, purchase orders, equipment tracking and API access are all confined to the top Ultimate tier, which puts basic parts tracking behind the most expensive plan.
  • Card processing rates are set per account rather than published, so payment fees, which are usually the largest recurring line for a field service firm, are invisible until you are quoted.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Tradify: How much does Tradify actually cost per month?

Around 47 US dollars per user per month on Lite, 51 on Pro and 61 on Plus, or roughly 34, 37 and 44 pounds in the UK. Multiply by every user, then add SMS and any add-ons.

Workiz: How much does Workiz cost?

Workiz no longer publishes plan prices on its own site. Tiers are Standard, Pro and Ultimate, and pricing now comes from a quote or trial signup.

Tradify: Does Tradify replace my accounting software?

No. It syncs invoices and contacts to Xero, QuickBooks Online or MYOB, and you still need one of them.

Workiz: Are extra users included?

No. Each plan includes a set number of members and additional members are charged as add-ons at a rate that is not published.

Tradify: Is there a setup or implementation fee?

No. Unlike the enterprise field service platforms there is no onboarding charge, and most firms configure it themselves.

Workiz: Does it do call tracking?

Yes, and this is its strongest feature. Inbound calls are recorded and attributed to the marketing source, which is unusual in field service software.

Tradify: How big a team can it handle?

It is designed for roughly one to twenty users. Beyond that the flat per-user pricing and the lack of dispatch optimisation and service agreements start to hurt.

Workiz: When do I need the Ultimate plan?

If you need inventory, purchase orders, equipment tracking or API access, which are not available on Standard or Pro.
