Workiz scores higher overall at 7.6/10 vs 6.5/10. Workiz stands out because of the built-in phone system. If tracking inbound calls and recording conversations matters to your business, Workiz saves you from paying for a separate VoIP service. The free tier is a nice way to test it.

What the pricing really means
Workiz publishes their pricing upfront, which is a good sign. Aspire requires you to contact sales for a quote. When a company hides pricing, it usually means the cost is high enough that they want a salesperson to justify it before you see the number. Always ask for total year-one cost, not just the monthly subscription.
Where Aspire wins
- Unlimited users included in licensing means no per-seat cost increases as you scale
- Real-time job costing gives precise margin visibility on every property and crew
- Estimating tools are deep with precise bidding capabilities for landscape maintenance contracts
- Now part of ServiceTitan family which adds long-term investment credibility
Where Workiz wins
- Built-in VoIP phone system with call recording and tracking. No separate phone provider needed
- Free tier for up to 2 users, so a solo operator can start at $0
- Good fit for locksmith and garage door trades that other FSM tools ignore
- AI-powered features for call scoring and lead prioritization
Where Aspire falls short
- Extremely complex to deploy with users reporting it takes months to years to get full value
- Pricing is opaque and based on company revenue tiers which makes budgeting difficult
- Billing practices have been called predatory by some customers with overcharges taking months to resolve
- Mobile app and employee-facing tools are weaker than the back-office management features
Where Workiz falls short
- No customer portal for clients to check job status
- Free tier is very limited and mostly useful for testing the platform
- Support can be slow during peak hours
- Interface has a learning curve compared to Jobber
Who is each product built for?
Aspire
Target: 20-500+ employees
Aspire is the dominant platform for landscape companies doing $2M or more in revenue who need enterprise-grade estimating, job costing, and crew management. It is not for small shops and the deployment is genuinely painful. If you are under $1M in revenue, the cost and complexity will crush you. If you are a large landscape operation ready to invest 6+ months in setup, it delivers real operational control.
Workiz
Target: 1-20 technicians
Workiz stands out because of the built-in phone system. If tracking inbound calls and recording conversations matters to your business, Workiz saves you from paying for a separate VoIP service. The free tier is a nice way to test it. But if you do not care about phone features, Housecall Pro or Jobber give you a cleaner experience.
