LayCor vs WorkBee

LayCor is a platform for party and event rental businesses to manage bookings, inventory, delivery, invoicing and customer details. Customers can browse items and packages, choose dates and quantities, and book online. Inventory status distinguishes available, reserved, on-site and cleaning items, helping teams coordinate stock across events. Staff can schedule deliveries and pickups, assign crews and track completion on a dispatch board. Customers can use a portal to view upcoming events, request add-ons, sign contracts and pay invoices. LayCor supports deposits and invoice payments, with card payments through Stripe and Square. Listed connections also include QuickBooks, Google Maps, Twilio and email; QuickBooks Online supports two-way sync. Field workers can use a smartphone browser on iPhone or Android without an app-store download. The Starter plan is $49 a month and includes unlimited users, bookings, jobs and customers. LayCor advertises a 14-day trial without a credit card, month-to-month billing and cancellation at any time. Professional costs $99 a month; Enterprise pricing is custom and not listed.

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.
