Workiz is general field-service software whose base plan prices are not published — all three tiers show "Request pricing," with published add-user rates of $55–$65/mo per extra member and inventory reserved for the top tier. BY5 publishes its whole catalog, includes unlimited crew users, and ships inventory at Starter. Here is an honest side-by-side.
