Workiz vs Contractor Autopilot
Workiz is about $65/mo Starter (2 users), $169/mo Standard (6 users), $299/mo Ultimate — pricing is quote-gated — and it is one piece of your business. Contractor Autopilot is $149–$499/mo flat for the whole company, unlimited users: one source of truth, 60+ features from the missed call to the paid invoice. No integrations to build, nothing to keep in sync.
What Workiz does well
Workiz has strong built-in phone handling and call tracking — better than most job platforms — and a clean dispatch board.
Best for: Dispatch-heavy service companies that live on the phone.
Where it leaves you exposed
- →Call tracking is not call answering. When you are under a sink, it still rings out.
- →No website, no custom domain, no local SEO pages or Google profile work.
- →Priced by user, so the office and the crew both cost you.
One app for the whole business — finally
Good at the phone log, silent on everything that happens before the phone rings.
The call, the lead, the quote, the job, the invoice, the review and the website all live on the same customer record. Your whole crew and your office get their own login — we never charge per seat.
Get found, capture leads, quote & close, run jobs, get paid — the whole business, not one slice of it.
No Zapier, no CSV exports, no paying a consultant to wire your tools together every time something changes.
The time it gives you back
Missed calls stop becoming voicemails you return at 8pm. The AI answers, qualifies and books straight into the same calendar you dispatch from.

What it costs at 1, 5 and 10 people
Their price grows with your crew. Ours does not — every plan is unlimited users, so the tenth hire costs you nothing in software.
| Crew size | Workiz | + what it doesn't include | Their all-in | Contractor Autopilot |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Just you | $65/mo (Starter) | $850/mo | $915/mo | $499/mo |
| 5 people | $169/mo (Standard) | $850/mo | $1,019/mo | $499/mo |
| 10 people | $299/mo (Ultimate) | $850/mo | $1,149/mo | $499/mo |
At five people that is $1,019 a month — more than Autopilot Pro — and it still does not answer your phone, build your website, or ask your customers for reviews.
Same money buys the whole business instead of one slice of it: 60+ features across all five stages, unlimited users, one bill.
Workiz does not publish pricing, so their column uses the rates customers report — ask them for a written quote and hold it against this. "What it doesn't include" is the same basket every time: answering service ~$300, website and hosting ~$150, reviews and social ~$100, local SEO help ~$300. Our column is Autopilot Pro at $499/mo — everything, unlimited users. Starter is $149 and Autopilot is $399.

The honest verdict
Workiz knows the phone matters — it just does not answer it. That is the exact gap we close, and we bring the website and the Google side with it.
Questions contractors ask
Does Workiz answer calls for you?
It tracks and records calls and can route them, but a human or an answering service still has to pick up. Our AI receptionist answers 24/7 and books the job.
