Pick Workiz if…
- A dispatcher fills trucks with jobs every morning
- You want a phone system and AI call answering in the tool
- You track inventory on the trucks
Pick SiteView if…
- Your jobs are projects — a quote, a deposit, days or weeks on site, a final: budgets, change orders, inspections
- Leads come from Thumbtack, Angi, your site and door hangers — and you want to know what each costs
- You want one plan with every feature — from $159 a month — and a person who sets you up
What each one does.
If your day is a dispatcher filling ten trucks with ten jobs, Workiz is built around that. If your day is a few projects at a time — a kitchen, a roof, an exterior paint — with a deposit, a budget and a final, SiteView is built around that.
