getSoapy vs WorkBee

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.

WorkBee is field service software for UK trades, including window-cleaning businesses. Its rounds feature builds recurring routes, creates visits, orders stops, and supports weekly, fortnightly, four-weekly, monthly, or custom-day schedules for individual customers. Round reports show revenue per round, skipped-stop analysis, and payment success rates. A native GoCardless integration can collect Direct Debit when a stop is completed and flag failed payments. The Field app lets workers mark stops done or skipped, record a reason, and navigate to addresses by phone; it can capture jobs, photos, and signatures offline and sync when connectivity returns. Integrations listed for accounting and payments include Xero, QuickBooks, GoCardless, and Stripe. The Free plan is free, billed forever, with up to 10 jobs per month, one engineer, basic invoicing, and email support. Starter is £25 a month, Growth is £59 a month, and Pro is £119 a month. Paid plans begin with 30 days free, need no credit card, and can be cancelled anytime.
