Werx vs Workyard

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.

Workyard is a construction operations and workforce management platform for specialty contractors and self-performing general contractors. Its GPS time clock records addresses visited, time on site, driving trips, mileage, and travel time. Location collection is limited to clocked-in time and stops at clock-out; location is hidden during breaks. Teams can require time to be assigned to projects or cost codes, with labor costs calculated at clock-out. Workers can clock in by mobile app, shared iPad kiosk, or automatic geofence; supervisors can track crews. Starter includes GPS-verified time, breaks and overtime, timesheet reports, and notes, receipts, and photos. Pro adds office-to-field scheduling, tasks, checklists, and project cost reporting. Autopilot adds AI timekeeping, compliance tools, and API access. Workyard connects with payroll and accounting services including ADP, Gusto, QuickBooks, Sage, NetSuite, Paychex, Paycor, and Rippling. It runs on web, iOS, and Android. There is no free plan; a 14-day trial is offered without a credit card. Starter is $6 a month, billed annually; monthly billing is also available.
