Kwickly Answers vs. Workyard: Crew Scheduling and Booking for Local Service Businesses

What Workyard does, and what Kwickly Answers adds

Workyard describes itself as "workforce management software built for the field", and its pricing page splits four plans: Starter for GPS time tracking, a time clock app and payroll export, Pro for office-to-field scheduling, tasks, time-off approval, geofenced clock-in rules, project tracking and labor cost reports, Autopilot for automatic clock-in and AI timecard tools, and a contact-sales Enterprise tier (read 2 Oct 2026). Its scheduling page adds a digital team calendar with checklists and a map of where the crew is.

Kwickly Answers keeps the roster simple. You list who does which services, lay out the week and publish it at no charge on any plan, and Team adds a private link per person where they check their shifts, request time off, take swaps and open shifts, and clock in and out with the week's hours showing.

The roster shares an account with your customers. The Website and booking plan and each phone plan ship with a booking page and calendar; with direct booking chosen on a phone plan, the assistant that picks up the phone can place callers in that calendar. The pages we read (2 Oct 2026) show no customer booking or phone answering at Workyard, so one Kwickly Answers login covers the crew and the people calling for work.

How do the plans compare?

Workyard's plans start at $6 per user a month billed annually; Kwickly Answers' Team add-on is $19.99 a month in all, for up to 15 people, on any plan.

Is Kwickly Answers a Workyard alternative?

Yes, Kwickly Answers is a Workyard alternative for a local service business whose crew mostly needs a shared schedule and a clock-in, and whose owner also wants customers to book and calls answered. Workyard's own pages describe GPS time tracking, job scheduling and job costing for field crews. Kwickly Answers charges nothing to build, print or publish the schedule, hands each person a private link through Team, and puts booking and phone answering behind the same login.

What does Workyard's per-user rate come to for a 10-person crew next to the Team add-on?

Workyard's pricing is per user, so the total moves with every person you add, while Kwickly Answers' Team add-on is flat by headcount band. At the starting rate on the page we read on 2 Oct 2026, $6 per user a month billed annually, 10 users is 10 × $6 = $60.00 a month and 25 users is 25 × $6 = $150.00. Scheduling is listed from Workyard's Pro plan, whose price the page does not print, so those sums show the starting rate, not Pro. Team costs $19.99 up to 15 people and $39.99 for 16 or more people, a figure that leaves out the plan underneath.

How does clocking in and out in Kwickly Answers compare with Workyard's time clock?

Under Team, each person has a clock on their own link, where they clock in and out and see their hours this week. Kwickly Answers' clock records the time, not where the person is. Workyard's pricing page lists GPS tracking from its Starter plan, geofenced clock-in rules on Pro and automatic clock-in on Autopilot, so if location-based clocking matters to your crew, put both feature lists side by side. On the Kwickly Answers side, the account covers the schedule, the bookings and the calls.

Can Kwickly Answers take bookings and calls for the crew I schedule?

Yes, the account holding your schedule can also take bookings and calls. The page and calendar arrive with the Website and booking plan or any phone plan, the Online booking plan from $14.99 a month suits booking alone, and on a phone plan you choose whether the assistant books directly or takes a message, with urgent calls flagged to you by email.

Which Workyard features are built, planned or not part of Kwickly Answers today?

• Built, not switched on yet: payroll files marked as estimates, for uploading to Gusto and for a bookkeeper using QuickBooks Payroll, where Workyard's Starter plan lists payroll export.
• Not part of Kwickly Answers today: GPS time tracking, geofenced clock-in rules and a map of where the crew is, which Workyard's pricing and scheduling pages list.
• What Kwickly Answers does today: customers book in the same account where you build, print and publish the crew schedule free on any plan, and with the Team add-on, $19.99 a month up to 15 people, each crew member gets a link for time off, swaps, open shifts and clock-ins.

Unhappy with Workyard? What switching to Kwickly Answers looks like

Switching from Workyard to Kwickly Answers means entering your crew in your portal by hand: Calendar, then Who is working, then + Add staff member. After that, Team gives each person a private link for $19.99 a month up to 15 people or $39.99 for 16 or more.

Workyard's pricing page (workyard.com/pricing, read 2 Oct 2026) says plans start at $6 per user a month billed annually, with monthly billing also available, and lists scheduling and time-off approval from its Pro plan without printing Pro's price.

Team is priced by headcount band, not per user, and the login that holds your crew can hold customer bookings and a phone assistant too, so Kwickly Answers keeps the roster, the bookings and the calls together.

Why choose Kwickly Answers instead of Workyard?

• A flat band price instead of a per-user rate: Team is $19.99 a month up to 15 people and $39.99 beyond, so a seasonal hire inside a band does not move the bill.
• The roster is free to build, print and publish on any plan, and each Team link carries that person's shifts, time-off requests, swaps, open shifts and clock-in.
• Customers can book inside the account that already holds the crew, which the pages we read (2 Oct 2026) do not show at Workyard; the Website and booking plan from $39.99 a month or any phone plan brings the booking page and calendar.
• A phone plan from $129.99 a month adds an assistant that answers your calls; it bills month to month, and setting it up yourself carries no setup fee.
