High Base Pricing

Per-User Fees Add Up Fast
Need more than 5 users? Workiz charges $55-65 per additional user per month. A 10-person team pays $500+/month. PocketBoss Enterprise offers custom pricing that scales affordably.
Feature Complexity

What features does Workiz have that PocketBoss doesn't?
Workiz offers advanced features like marketing automation, complex workflow builders, and integrations with specific industry tools.

Is Workiz's free plan really free?
