Which one is for you
Pick FieldEdge if

- Works for shops that want pricebook-based quotes sent from the field
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a price listed, since every plan says Request Pricing
- Tight if you have a bigger crew, as mobile licences stop at 2 on Select, 4 on Premier and 6 on Elite
- Pricey if you want the proposal tool, marketing or customer portal, which cost extra on Select and Premier
- Watch out: warehouse inventory on Elite needs QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise with Advanced Inventory
- Not for you if you want a free trial, as none is on record
Pick Workiz if
- Fits if most of your jobs come in by phone and missed calls cost you work
- Works for locksmith, garage door and appliance repair businesses that track which ads made the phone ring
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a price before you talk to anyone, as every plan says request pricing
- Tight if you need service plans, inventory or multi-day jobs, as they're Ultimate only
- Not for you if you want a long trial, since you get 7 days
- Watch out: Zapier and the open API are Ultimate only, and Standard caps automations at 5
- Watch out: card readers are sold separately, and QuickBooks Online is the only accounting link listed
How we grade them
| 1.8GPAFieldEdgeWeak | 2.6GPAWorkizGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CNo price is published, so there is nothing to set against the category's $35 to $99 spread and it sits in the ordinary band. Select, Premier and Elite all say Request Pricing. | CStandard, Pro and Ultimate all say request pricing, so there's no figure for a crew of three. The FAQ says paying yearly saves $400 or more, but not on what. No published price is a C by our rule. |
| Free plan and trial | FNo free plan and no trial on record, so nothing to try before paying. | CA 7-day trial with all features and no card needed. That's the shortest trial in this category, and there's no free plan. |
| Features | CDispatching, scheduling, quotes and a pricebook, service agreements, payments and reporting. Proposal Pro, MarketingEdge, Academy and the customer portal are call-for-pricing add-ons on Select and Premier, and warehouse inventory on Elite only works with QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise. | BScheduling and dispatch with live locations, estimates with three tiered options, deposits, financing and Tap to Pay, plus a built-in phone system and AI answering that several rivals sell as add-ons. Service plans, inventory and multi-day jobs need Ultimate though. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. Agreements, a pricebook and QuickBooks sync take setting up before dispatch pays off. | B4.6 from 2,191 App Store ratings. Automations are capped at 5 on Standard, so a lot of the automatic follow-ups wait for the bigger plans. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, with QuickBooks, FleetSharp, Podium, Customer Lobby and FieldEdge Flat Rate connections. No desktop app, and the pages read show no phone platforms. | BWeb, iPhone and Android, but the listing names only QuickBooks Online and Zapier, and Zapier and the open API need Ultimate. Thin for this category, and no desktop app. |
| Best for | HVAC, plumbing and electrical shops on QuickBooks | phone-heavy trades like locksmiths and garage doors |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
