FAQ
Is MotionOps a good alternative to Workiz?
Yes - especially for contractor teams doing multi-day, project-based work rather than high-volume service calls. Workiz excels at fast-turnaround dispatch for HVAC, locksmith, and appliance repair. MotionOps is built for crews running longer jobs, with multi-day scheduling, change orders, HR tools, payroll prep, and flat per-plan pricing instead of a climbing per-seat bill.
Why do contractors switch from Workiz to MotionOps?
Most switch for two reasons: Workiz's per-seat pricing gets expensive fast, and it lacks contractor-specific depth. The pull toward MotionOps is concrete: multiple users included per plan instead of $46–$65 per extra member, multi-day jobs on a standard published plan, change orders with signatures, built-in HR tools, and native photo documentation without a paid integration.
Is MotionOps cheaper than Workiz?
For most teams, considerably. Workiz starts at $225/mo for 3 users, and every additional team member costs $46–$65/mo - a 10-person team on Standard can exceed $500/mo before the phone add-on. MotionOps includes multiple users per plan starting at $39/mo, so growing your crew doesn't compound your bill. For team-based contractors, the pricing gap is often the deciding factor.
What does MotionOps do that Workiz doesn't?
Several contractor essentials: change orders with customer signatures, version-tracked contracts, liability waivers, multi-day project scheduling on a standard plan, and full HR tools - employee documents, skills tracking, day-off approvals, performance leaderboards. It also adds timesheet QA with overtime tracking and native photo/video documentation, where Workiz relies on a paid CompanyCam integration.
Does Workiz handle multi-day jobs?
Only on its top tier. Multi-day job scheduling is locked behind Workiz's Ultimate plan, which has no published price and requires a sales conversation. MotionOps supports multi-day jobs on the Go plan at a published rate - no custom pricing or sales call required. If your jobs span days or weeks, that difference in access and cost is significant.
Does Workiz have HR tools?
No - Workiz manages employees as dispatched users with roles and basic tracking, but has no HR document storage, skills tracking, or days-off management. MotionOps manages your team as people: storing certifications and documents, tracking skills and grades, approving time off, and running performance leaderboards - without a separate HR system. With every hire, that depth matters more.
Is MotionOps better for project-based contractors than Workiz?
For multi-day, crew-based work, generally yes. Workiz is optimized for high-volume, short-duration service calls - dozens of quick jobs a day. MotionOps is built for contractors running multi-day projects with multiple crews: remodelers, landscapers, fencers, concrete and decking teams. If your day is a few long jobs rather than many short ones, MotionOps fits the workflow more closely.
Can I change the plan?
UPGRADE - You can upgrade anytime. For monthly plans, the new price starts right away. If you choose annual plans, the total amount is charged upfront upon signing up as a client and is non-refundable if you cancel before the year is complete.
DOWNGRADE - For monthly plans, downgrades start with your next billing cycle. For example, if you signed up on the 1st of the month and requested a downgrade on the 15th, the new pricing will apply beginning on the 1st of the following month.
Does MotionOps offer a mobile app? Is there an additional cost for it?
Yes, MotionOps has a mobile app with no additional charge. This app has a variety of features that allow you to manage your MotionOps account through your smartphone or tablet. With the app, you can monitor your workers' activities, keep track of their progress, and stay up-to-date on your project management tasks. The mobile app is designed to be user-friendly, intuitive, and easy to use, making it an excellent tool for managing your business even while you're on the go.
