## Ways to pay less

- **Yearly billing cuts the monthly price** (Annual discount): The pricing page toggles between yearly and monthly billing, for example $99 against $149 a month on Core. Source: https://knowify.com/pricing

## Key features

- **Estimates, proposals and contracts:** Estimates can follow any pricing model and go out as proposals and contracts for signature. Core covers fixed-price jobs; cost-plus and T&M need Advanced.
- **Scheduling and time tracking:** Drag-and-drop scheduling covers employees, subcontractors and equipment. Crews clock in through a geofenced mobile app, and time can flow to QuickBooks Payroll.
- **Job costing and billing:** Projects carry budgets and update costs and percent complete as work happens. Billing includes AIA-style progress invoices and change orders.
- **Service Pro add-on:** Adds real-time dispatching, equipment history, appointment reminders, payment processing and inventory management for service departments.
- **QuickBooks sync:** Customers, vendors, products and employees sync with QuickBooks. The vendor lists Online, Desktop, Payroll, Payments and Time connections.
- **Fleet and equipment tracking:** Optional add-ons track vehicles from $25 per vehicle per month on a yearly term, equipment at $19 per unit per month, and tools at a flat $99 a month.

## Good for

- Trade contractors who bid projects and also run service calls
- Contractors who keep their books in QuickBooks
- Small crews that start with one user and add seats as they grow

## Worth knowing

- Service Pro, with dispatching and equipment history, is an add-on at $99 a month yearly ($199 monthly).
- Core has no project budgets, daily logs, subcontracts or cost-plus contracts; those start at Advanced.
- Users beyond the included 1 or 10 cost $29 a month each; unlimited users need Enterprise.
- Fleet tracking hardware is sold at cost on annual plans and included only on 2- and 3-year terms.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 1.8 out of 4**, graded Nov 12, 2026. Knowify handles estimates, proposals, scheduling, job costing and billing, and syncs with QuickBooks. Core is $99 a month for one user billed yearly, but project budgets, daily logs and subcontracts only start at Advanced for $329, and dispatching is an extra add-on.

- **Value for money: D.** Core is $99 a month for 1 user billed yearly ($149 monthly), the start of the dearer quarter. The useful job-costing pieces sit on Advanced at $329 for up to 10 users, and extra users are $29.
- **Free plan and trial: D.** A 14-day free trial is offered, but nothing says it needs no card. There is no free plan.
- **Features: C.** Estimates, scheduling, time tracking, job costing and billing, with QuickBooks sync. Core has no project budgets, daily logs, subcontracts or cost-plus contracts, and Service Pro dispatching is a separate add-on.
- **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. Estimates, cost codes and accounting sync have to be set up first.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, iPhone and Android, with QuickBooks Online and Desktop, payroll, time and payments, FleetSharp, Claude and ChatGPT. No desktop app.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** The plain part of Knowify you could make: quotes and estimates, invoicing, job scheduling, time tracking, reports and kanban boards. What surrounds it you could not. The 2 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 35 of the 55 other field service apps grade higher. It costs $1,188 a year.

- You could make: Quotes and estimates, invoicing, job scheduling, time tracking, reports and kanban boards: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop and QuickBooks Payroll among them.

A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it.
