Communication-heavy, at a communication-heavy price. Pricing verified July 2026.
Workiz's paid plans start around $187/mo and climb past $270, with the phone system, SMS credits, and AI answering billed on top. JobVivi covers the core workflow, messaging included, at $59/mo.
Workiz grew up around industries that live on the phone — locksmiths, junk removal, garage doors — and its calling features (call masking, tracking numbers, the built-in phone system) reflect that heritage. It's a genuinely good fit for a dispatch desk fielding dozens of inbound calls a day.
The price reflects it too. Public and third-party figures put paid plans at roughly $187/mo (Kickstart), $229/mo (Standard), and $270/mo (Pro), with extra users around $46–65/mo and the phone system, SMS credits, and AI answering sold as add-ons. A free "Lite" tier exists but caps you at 20 jobs a month.
If what you need is estimates, scheduling, invoicing, automated follow-up, and two-way SMS with customers — the actual daily loop of a service business — JobVivi does all of it for $59/mo, and a dedicated texting number is a flat $5 add-on rather than a phone-system subscription.
Workiz figures reflect published pricing and reputable third-party pricing guides as of July 2026. JobVivi prices are the same everywhere: on this page, on the pricing page, and on your invoice.
A qualified entry means the feature exists with conditions — a higher tier, an add-on, or a narrower version. Details change; treat the vendor’s own docs as final.
