For a 5-user HVAC shop, FieldEdge can easily run 5-8x more expensive per year than Workhand. The honest tradeoff: you give up equipment service history per location and formal maintenance contracts. If those features pay for themselves in membership renewals, FieldEdge is the right buy. For broader trades work, it's overpaying for HVAC-specific compliance you don't use.

How to switch from FieldEdge to Workhand

Be honest first. If maintenance memberships are 30%+ of your revenue and you actually use equipment service history, do not switch. If you mostly use FieldEdge for jobs, dispatch, and invoices, the move is simple.

Audit your maintenance revenue. Pull your last 12 months of FieldEdge invoices and tag the ones tied to maintenance contracts. If that revenue is significant, FieldEdge's contract management is doing real work for you.
Check your contract. FieldEdge contracts are typically annual. Note your renewal date.
Export your data. From FieldEdge, export customers, jobs, equipment, and invoice history. Your success manager can help if you ask.
Archive equipment service history as PDFs. If you decide to switch, the equipment history will not transfer to Workhand. Save it.
Create your Workhand company. Download the app, sign up in 90 seconds.
Import customers. Email the CSVs to [email protected]. We handle the import on Pro and Team plans.
Invite your crew. Send the app link. Switch one job over end-to-end before committing.
Cancel FieldEdge at your renewal window. Do not fight a contract; ride it out and switch fully on month one of the new period.

Common questions

Is Workhand a real alternative to FieldEdge?

If you're an HVAC service shop running formal maintenance contracts, equipment service histories, and QuickBooks Desktop on a back-office machine, no. FieldEdge is purpose-built for that flow and Workhand is not trying to match it. See our ServiceTitan and Housecall Pro comparisons for other HVAC-focused options. If you do residential or light-commercial work across multiple trades, or you're a smaller HVAC shop that doesn't sell maintenance memberships at scale, Workhand fits at a fraction of the price.

How much does FieldEdge cost?

FieldEdge uses quote-based pricing and does not publish dollar figures publicly. Public reviews and ex-customer reports suggest a real-world floor in the $100-150/mo per-user range on annual contracts, often with an implementation fee. Last reviewed May 2026. Workhand publishes pricing: $0 Free, $35/mo Pro for up to 5 users, $89/mo Team for up to 15 users, no sales call required.

Can I migrate from FieldEdge?

Yes. FieldEdge supports data exports of customers, jobs, equipment, and invoice history. We help with first-time migrations on Pro and Team plans. Email [email protected]. Note that equipment service history records and formal maintenance contract structures do not translate directly since Workhand does not have those modules.

What does FieldEdge have that Workhand does not?

Equipment service history per customer location (you can see every HVAC unit at the property and when it was last serviced), maintenance contract management with auto-renewals and visit scheduling, QuickBooks Desktop integration history, agreement-based service revenue tracking, and HVAC-specific reporting. If your business model runs on maintenance memberships and equipment tracking, FieldEdge is built for that. Workhand is built for crews that don't.

Why pick Workhand if I do multi-trade work?

FieldEdge is HVAC-locked. If you do HVAC plus electrical, plus install work, plus residential remodels, you'll find FieldEdge's vocabulary and workflows pushed toward HVAC service. Workhand is trade-neutral, so it fits any combination of residential and light-commercial work without forcing you into HVAC's specific data model. Built by a PM at a pool building company who works across multiple trades.
