Aworka vs getSoapy

Aworka is business-management software for service businesses, combining job scheduling, invoicing and bookkeeping. Its calendar planner displays jobs by day, and users can drag jobs to change the schedule. Completed jobs can be turned into invoices for printing or email, and customers can pay online. For finances, Aworka categorizes expenses and summarizes income, expenses, sales tax and profit. Multiple users can divide work across a team or franchise, with support for recurring jobs, estimates and crew management. The service also supports cash-basis and traditional accounting and can send quarterly income-tax updates to HMRC; the Smart plan is required for Making Tax Digital income-tax updates, or Team if VAT is needed. Aworka is available on Android, iOS and the web, and its smartphone or tablet app is described as usable offline. The paid service has no free plan, but includes a free 42-day trial. Optional integrations include email, SMS, payment providers, mapping, QuickBooks Online and HMRC tax reporting.

getSoapy is software for local service businesses that brings customer and job administration together with payments. It includes customer and team management, automatic invoicing, work scheduling, recurring jobs, route optimisation, estimate building, expense tracking, documents and a customer portal. Bank reconciliation uses Nordigen to display transactions and match transfers to invoices; getSoapy says the connection cannot access bank accounts or make payments. Customers can pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or Direct Debit. Payment processing is handled by Stripe, which getSoapy identifies as PCI Service Provider Level 1 certified. The service runs on web, Android and iOS, with apps linked for iPhone and iPad as well as Android. Plans are Starter at £4.90/mo, Advanced at £9.90/mo and Pro at £14.90/mo. There is no free plan, but a trial provides one month of Soapy Pro, 25 lead credits and 100 SMS credits without payment details; it can be cancelled at any time.
