Job Assistant vs Workiz

A dispatch-and-communications platform for home-service teams.

Job Assistant — $25/moWorkizFree lite tier; team plans climb

The honest summary

Workiz is a capable field-service platform with a distinctive strength: communications. Call tracking, phone integrations, and a dispatch board make it popular with multi-tech shops that book jobs over the phone all day.

As with the other team platforms, the value assumes you have a team. Solo contractors and small crews end up paying team prices for a dispatch board with one name on it. Job Assistant covers the estimate-to-payment cycle — plus bookkeeping, mileage, and taxes — at $25/month, phone-first, with no dispatcher required.

When Workiz is the better pick

Multi-tech operations — locksmiths, appliance repair, junk removal, HVAC — that live on a dispatch board and want built-in phone/call tracking.
