Is Workhand a real alternative to Workiz?

If you run an HVAC or plumbing service business doing 8-20 calls a day with a dispatcher and Google Local Services Ads, Workiz is purpose-built for that flow and Workhand is not trying to compete there. If you run project-based work that lasts days or weeks (pool builds, fence installs, remodels, landscape installs), Workiz is overkill for what you do. Workhand fits that work better at a flat price.

How much does Workiz cost?

Workiz publishes tiered pricing that has historically run around $225/mo for the Starter tier, up past $300/mo for higher tiers, with included-user limits and add-ons. Last reviewed May 2026, verify current rates on workiz.com/pricing. Workhand is flat: $0 Free, $35/mo Pro for up to 5 users, $89/mo Team for up to 15 users, no per-user fees.

Can I migrate from Workiz to Workhand?

Yes. Workiz supports CSV exports of customers, jobs, and invoices. We help with first-time migrations on Pro and Team plans. Email hello@workhand.app and we will walk you through it. Note that Workiz-specific automations (call recording, IVR, Google Local Services integration) do not transfer; you are picking a simpler, project-oriented product.

What does Workiz have that Workhand does not?

Drag-and-drop dispatch boards, route optimization across many short calls, native call tracking and IVR, deep integration with Google Local Services Ads and Yelp lead sources, and a built-in mini call center for high-volume service-call businesses. If your daily reality is dispatching 15 trucks across a metro, you need Workiz, not Workhand.

Why pick Workhand over Workiz for a project-based crew?

Project-based work (pool, fence, landscape install, remodel) plays out over days or weeks per job, not 60-minute service calls. You need daily logs with photos, crew chat per job, customer-facing portals that show progress, punch lists, and selection sheets. Workhand is built for that. Workiz is built for the opposite shape of work.
