Last verified September 27, 2026 from each company's public pricing page: Workiz, Housecall Pro, Jobber, ServiceTitan, FieldPulse and Kickserv. Housecall Pro shows its prices after a short quiz about your trade and team size. Prices change, so check the source before you buy.
Why do shops look for a Workiz alternative?
Most shops look elsewhere because Workiz publishes no prices at all, so you cannot compare costs without talking to sales first, and because its phone system and AI answering are sold as separate products.
- No public pricing. Standard, Pro and Ultimate all show a "Request pricing" button, with no dollar figures or seat structure published anywhere on the site.
- Phone and AI cost extra. Genius Phone (the built-in phone system) and Genius Answering (AI call and message answering) are described on Workiz's own site as sold separately from the core plan.
- Higher tiers gate real features. Multi-location management, custom reports and inventory management are not included on Standard, Workiz's entry tier.
Which Workiz alternative should you choose?
It depends on team size, trade and how much you want to spend each month. Use the short profiles below: each says who the tool suits, what it costs and the main tradeoff.
Claver
Claver is field service software for small home-service businesses: scheduling, quotes, invoicing, payments and customer texting, with users included in one flat monthly price. Starter is $19/mo for 2 users, Crew $39/mo for 8 and Business $79/mo for 20. The Business plan includes an in-app phone line and an AI receptionist that takes booking requests for you to confirm, both bundled into the price rather than sold separately.
Tradeoff: Native iOS and Android apps and Tap to Pay are coming soon, and the phone system and AI receptionist are Business plan only. There is no free plan: it is $1 for 14 days, then $19/mo.
Housecall Pro
Housecall Pro publishes its prices, unlike Workiz. Its Basic plan ($79/mo for one user) includes online booking, scheduling and dispatch, estimates and invoicing. It offers a 14-day free trial with no card.
Tradeoff: Team plans start at $299/mo for five users on Essentials, and each extra user adds $100/mo.
Jobber
Jobber is an established booking and client-hub platform with published prices. Core is $49/mo month-to-month ($29/mo billed annually) for one user. Connect (GPS tracking, route optimization, QuickBooks Online sync) is $139/mo for one user or $199/mo for a team of up to 5.
Tradeoff: Two-way texting and job costing don't appear until Grow, its top plan.
ServiceTitan
ServiceTitan is built for larger HVAC, plumbing and electrical companies, with payroll, commission tracking, advanced reporting and marketing attribution. It prices per technician.
Tradeoff: It publishes no prices, so you get a quote after a sales demo, the same as Workiz.
FieldPulse
FieldPulse quotes a single seat-based contract built around your team size and trade, with the rate for each seat laid out before you sign, according to its own FAQ.
Tradeoff: It offers no free trial and no self-serve pricing at all, so every comparison starts with a sales call.
Kickserv
Kickserv includes a set number of users in each plan: 5 on Start ($75/mo, or $60/mo billed annually), 10 on Run ($149/mo) and 20 on Scale ($249/mo). QuickBooks Online sync is included, and it offers a 30-day free trial.
Tradeoff: Dispatch mapping and GPS check-ins start on Run, so small teams that need them pay $149/mo.
When is Workiz still the right choice?
Stay on Workiz if you have already gotten a quote that fits your budget and you use its granular feature table to your advantage. Workiz publishes an unusually detailed included-versus-not-included comparison across its tiers, and it offers a 7-day free trial with no card. Switching makes the most sense when you want to know the price before a sales call, or you want a phone system bundled in rather than billed separately.
