QuickBooks Time vs Werx

QuickBooks Time is paid time-tracking software for recording work against projects and billable time. It supports timesheet approvals and data export, covering time entry, review, and moving data out of the service. The product is available on the web and through iOS and Android mobile apps; there is no desktop app. QuickBooks Time offers Time Premium and Time Elite, and each plan includes one admin. A 30-day trial is available, but there is no free plan. The maker is QuickBooks Time, headquartered in Mountain View, California, United States, and founded in 1983. The listed features give teams a defined set of tracking and approval functions, along with browser and mobile access. Buyers can use the trial before choosing between the two plans, though the plan details provided do not include their prices.

Werx is contractor management software for trade contractors, covering work from estimates through final payment. Users can create itemized or proposal estimates for clients to approve online, manage AIA-style G702/G703 pay applications, schedules of values and retainage, and track budget-to-actual costs and profitability by cost code. It also supports time-and-material invoicing with labor and material tracking. Werx syncs in both directions with QuickBooks Online on every plan; QuickBooks Desktop is not supported. Customers can pay invoices by credit card or ACH through Stripe. The iOS and Android Field App supports time tracking, Extra Work Authorizations and customer signatures; a full mobile version is described as coming soon. Werx is available on the web, iOS and Android, and is aimed at small-to-midsized contractors, including plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roofing, landscaping and remodeling businesses. Month-to-month plans cost $49.00 per month for 10 active projects, $89.00 for 20, or $119.00 for unlimited active projects. Inactive projects do not count toward the limit. There is no free plan, but a 14-day trial requires no credit card.
