Quick answer: Workiz pricing ranges from Free to $150/month. The standout feature is the VoIP phone system with auto job creation (Pro tier, $95/mo). For locksmiths and emergency service contractors, it's worth the premium over Jobber. For scheduled services, Jobber is cheaper.

Is the Phone System Worth the Premium?
Workiz's biggest differentiator is the built-in VoIP phone system with auto job creation from inbound calls. This feature jumps from Pro ($95/mo) onwards. Here's whether it's worth the extra cost:
For Locksmiths: YES, Absolutely
Verdict: The Pro plan ($95/mo) pays for itself on 3–5 missed calls per year. Missed calls = lost revenue. Auto job creation turns every inbound call into a tracked, scheduled job instantly.
Why it matters for locksmiths:
- Emergency calls are time-sensitive: A customer calling about a lockout won't wait 30 minutes while you manually create an invoice and job.
- Call volume is revenue: Every missed or delayed call is lost work.
- Auto-dispatch: The system can automatically assign jobs to available technicians based on location and skills.
For Emergency HVAC/Plumbing: YES, Same Reason
Verdict: Same logic as locksmiths. Emergency services live on inbound calls. A 24-hour dispatch shop will recoup the $95/mo cost in days.
Example: A plumbing shop with 15–20 calls/day loses 1–2 calls per shift due to phone tag or missed calls. At an average job value of $300–500, that's $300–1,000/day in lost revenue. $95/mo is negligible.
For Scheduled Services (Landscaping, Cleaning): NO, Jobber Is Cheaper
Verdict: Jobber is $129/mo for 5 users and doesn't include a phone system (which you don't need for pre-booked jobs). Workiz Pro is $95/mo but forces you to pay for a feature you won't use.
Why the phone system doesn't matter:
- Customers book online or via text/WhatsApp.
- You don't rely on inbound call handling to generate jobs.
- The overhead of a VoIP system is wasted.

The free tier is strictly a trial. It's useful for:
- Testing Workiz's UI and core workflow.
- Solo contractors or very small teams (1–2 people) doing light scheduling.
- No invoicing, so you can't run your business on this plan alone.
Standard ($65/mo)
The minimum paid tier adds invoicing and basic dispatch:
- Up to 3 users (technicians + office staff).
- Full invoicing with payment processing options.
- Basic job dispatch and routing.
- Customer portal (clients can view job status).
- Mobile app for technicians.
- Missing: Phone system, call recording, advanced reporting.
Best for: Small teams (2–3 people) doing scheduled work without heavy inbound call volume.
Pro ($95/mo) — The Sweet Spot
This is where Workiz pulls ahead of competitors:

- Customer portal and mobile app.

Hidden Costs & Things to Watch
Processing Fees: Workiz charges payment processing fees (typically 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction) if you use their native payment processing. You can integrate Stripe or Square to reduce fees.
Phone System Costs: The VoIP phone system is included in Pro and Ultimate, but if you need additional phone numbers or international calling, there may be add-on costs. Confirm during your trial.
User Seats: If you exceed your plan's user limit, Workiz charges per-seat add-ons. Standard is ~$20–30/month per extra user.
No Long-Term Discounts: Workiz bills monthly with no annual discount. Compare to Jobber, which offers 10–15% off annual plans.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does Workiz phone system work on my existing business phone line?
A: No. Workiz provides a new VoIP phone system with new phone numbers (local, toll-free, or vanity). You'd forward your old number to the new Workiz number, or switch completely. This is intentional — Workiz wants all calls to flow through their system so they can auto-create jobs. You can port an existing toll-free number to Workiz, but standard landlines cannot be ported.
Q: Can I use Workiz without the phone system?
A: Yes. Standard and below don't include it. Pro and Ultimate include it but you don't have to use it — the system won't force calls to you. However, if you buy Pro for the phone system and don't use it, you're wasting $30/month over Standard. For scheduled-service contractors, Standard ($65/mo) is a better fit.
Q: Is Workiz pricing worth it compared to Jobber?
A: It depends on your business model.
For emergency/call-driven services (locksmiths, HVAC, plumbing): Workiz Pro ($95/mo) is cheaper and includes phone.
For scheduled services (landscaping, cleaning): Jobber Connect ($129/mo) is better because you don't need the phone system. See our full
Jobber vs. Workiz comparison.
