The pricing math (real tier-by-tier)

Contractor Foreman tiers are capped by user count, so the honest comparison is matching each Foreman tier against the Workhand tier that supports the same crew size.

Workhand Pro & Team

$29/mo (5 users) or $89/mo (15 users), flat, no per-user surcharges

1 user $0 (Free)

3 users $29/mo (Pro)

5 users $29/mo (Pro)

8 users $89/mo (Team)

15 users $89/mo (Team)

Year-1 for 15-user crew $1,068

Contractor Foreman (annual)

Tiered by user count: Basic $49 (1u) / Standard $105 (3u) / Plus $166 (8u) / Pro $221 (15u) / Unlimited $332

1 user $49/mo (Basic)

3 users $105/mo (Standard)

5 users $166/mo (Plus)

8 users $166/mo (Plus)

15 users $221/mo (Pro)

Year-1 for 15-user crew $2,654

Workhand is cheaper at every meaningful crew size. At 1 user, Workhand Free vs Foreman Basic saves $588/year. At 3 users, Workhand Pro vs Foreman Standard is 3.6x cheaper. At 8 users, Workhand Team vs Foreman Plus is roughly 2x cheaper. At 15 users, Workhand Team vs Foreman Pro is 2.5x cheaper ($1,068/year vs $2,654/year). Foreman's value isn't price — it's the breadth of commercial-construction modules (RFIs, submittals, AIA billing, change orders) that Workhand doesn't have.

How to switch from Contractor Foreman to Workhand

Be honest first. If you do commercial construction with formal change orders, RFIs, and submittals, Workhand doesn't have those modules. Stay on Foreman. If you do residential or service work and never touch those modules, you're paying for breadth your crew doesn't use.

Export your data from Contractor Foreman. Foreman supports CSV export from each module (customers, jobs, invoices, projects). Pull them all.
Save active change orders / RFIs / submittals as PDFs. If you have any open commercial-side documentation in Foreman, archive it. Workhand won't host it but you'll have the records.
Create your Workhand company. Download the app, sign up in 90 seconds.
Import customers and active jobs. Email the CSVs to [email protected]. We'll handle the import on Pro and Team plans.
Invite your crew. This is the moment that matters. Send them the app link. If you switched because of mobile UX complaints, ask them after a week which app they actually open.
Set up your public profile. Claim your slug at workhand.app/c/your-name. Foreman doesn't have a profile page, so this is a net-new lead source.
Run one job end-to-end in Workhand. Estimate, daily log, crew chat, invoice. See if it sticks.
Cancel Contractor Foreman at your next billing period. Annual plans: ride it out and cancel at renewal. Monthly: cancel immediately.

Common questions

Is Contractor Foreman cheaper than Workhand?

No, not at any meaningful crew size. Contractor Foreman's published annual tiers are Basic $49/mo (1 user only), Standard $105/mo (3 users), Plus $166/mo (8 users), Pro $221/mo (15 users), and Unlimited $332/mo. Comparing tier-by-tier: Basic vs Workhand Free, Foreman costs $49/mo more for the same 1 user. Standard ($105/mo, 3 users) vs Workhand Pro ($29/mo, 5 users) — Workhand is 3.6x cheaper with more users. Plus ($166/mo, 8 users) vs Workhand Team ($89/mo, 15 users) — Workhand is ~2x cheaper with nearly double the users. Pro ($221/mo, 15 users) vs Workhand Team ($89/mo, 15 users) — Workhand is 2.5x cheaper at the same crew size. The real question isn't price — it's whether you live at a desk (Foreman's modules fit) or on your phone (Workhand fits).

Why pick Workhand over Contractor Foreman?

Mobile-first build quality. Contractor Foreman is a web-first product with mobile views and a separate app; users frequently report bugs, slow loads, and a clunky mobile UI. Workhand is a real iOS + Android app built mobile-first, no web fallback feel. If your foremen and crew leads do their work from a phone in the truck, Workhand's UX wins. If your office staff lives at a desk and needs every feature checkbox, Foreman's breadth is real.

What does Contractor Foreman have that Workhand doesn't?

More feature checkboxes. Foreman includes Gantt-chart project scheduling, change order management, RFI (request for information) tracking, submittal management, AIA-style billing, and a dozen other commercial-construction features that residential and service crews don't usually need. If you do commercial construction with formal change orders and RFIs, Foreman covers those workflows; Workhand doesn't.

Can I migrate from Contractor Foreman?

Yes. Contractor Foreman supports CSV exports of customers, jobs, invoices, and most modules. We help with first-time migrations on Pro and Team plans. Email [email protected]. Change order, RFI, and submittal records don't transfer since Workhand doesn't have those modules.

Is Workhand worth the price difference for 5 users?

At 5 users, Workhand Pro ($29/mo flat) is actually cheaper than every Contractor Foreman paid tier that supports 5 users (Plus is $166/mo for 8 users; Standard maxes out at 3). So the question isn't whether Workhand's price is worth it — Workhand is the cheaper option at 5 users by a large margin. The real question is whether Workhand's narrower feature set (no Gantt charts, RFIs, change orders, submittals, AIA billing) is enough for your work. If yes, you save thousands a year. If you need those commercial-construction modules, Foreman's breadth justifies the higher price. See our construction software guide if you're still deciding.
