Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.4
GPA, above 68 of the 87 other field service apps we grade
WorkGuru is job management software for fabrication, manufacturing and trade service businesses. It runs from leads and quoting through job costing, scheduling, purchasing and invoicing in one system, with a mobile app and a kiosk app. It is priced as a flat monthly platform fee that includes the first 10 team members, in Australian dollars or British pounds.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about WorkGuru, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No store rating on record, and quoting, purchasing and job costing need setting up.
- 1
Best for quoting through invoicing for workshops and trades
Inventory, automation and forms are paid extras, and prices are only in Australian dollars and pounds.
- 2
What it costs
Paid plans start at A$350 per month for up to 10 team members (£250 in GBP).
- 3
You can try it first
14-day free trial with full access to every feature, no credit card required
- 4
It runs on Web
Web.
- 5
Quoting and estimating
Quotes and quote templates sit alongside CRM, lead management and a sales pipeline, so a won quote becomes a job.
- 6
Job costing and invoicing
Financial job costing tracks labor and materials against each job, with invoicing that includes progress invoices and retentions.
- 7
Scheduling and dispatch
Resource, calendar, Gantt and workshop scheduling, plus capacity planning for staff.
- 8
A 2.4 GPA, above 68 of 87
That is against the other field service apps we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
Keep it
To replace WorkGuru you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for quoting through invoicing for workshops and trades
WorkGuru runs quotes, jobs, purchasing and invoicing in one place for fabrication and trade workshops, for a flat fee that covers 10 people. Inventory, automation and forms are paid extras, and prices are only in Australian dollars and pounds.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | A$350 a month covers 10 team members, so about A$35 a head, under the cheapest quarter of this category once converted. Extra members are A$35 each. |
| Free plan and trial | C | 14-day trial with every feature and no card needed. That is a trial, not a free plan. |
| Features | C | Quoting, job costing, scheduling, purchasing and invoicing. Inventory, automation and digital forms are separate extensions at A$150 to A$300 a month. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record, and quoting, purchasing and job costing need setting up. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web with Xero, QuickBooks, MYOB, NetSuite, HubSpot and Shopify. The pages do not say which systems the mobile app runs on. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who WorkGuru is for
- Fits if you run a workshop that quotes, buys stock and invoices every job
- Works for teams of about 10 that want one flat monthly fee
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want a US dollar price, as only AUD and GBP are shown
- Pricey if you need inventory, automation and forms, each A$150 to A$300 a month on top
- Tight if you grow past 10 people, as every extra member or API key is A$35 a month
- Watch out: the pages do not say which operating systems the mobile app supports
Good to know
Good for
- Fabrication, engineering and manufacturing workshops tracking job profit
- Trade contractors who also quote, purchase and hold stock
- Businesses in Australia, New Zealand and the UK
Worth knowing
- Prices are listed in Australian dollars and British pounds only; no US dollar price is shown.
- Inventory, automation and digital forms are separate paid extensions on top of the platform fee.
- Beyond 10 team members, each added member or API key costs A$35 per month.
- The site lists a mobile app and a kiosk app but does not say which operating systems they run on.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace WorkGuru you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.4 is higher than 68 of the 87 other field service apps we grade.
What you could make
- Job scheduling, quotes and estimates, invoicing, inventory, reports and forms: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
What this rests on. WorkGuru’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
