Annual-billing comparison
The standalone stack is approximately $1,082.57/month on published annual-equivalent rates. WerkOps Business is $319/month equivalent when billed annually—a fixed-cost difference of $763.57/month.
AI Receptionist is an optional add-on
Buy it only if it fits your shop. The limited-time launch price is $79/month with 450 included minutes, then $15 per additional 50 minutes. Future subscribers will pay $129/month; subscribe during the launch offer and keep $79 while the add-on remains continuously active. It is not counted in the $399 Business-plan total.

Method: standard US list prices checked August 20, 2026. “Annual effective” is the advertised monthly equivalent where annual billing is available and may require a full-year commitment. The stack is a capability-cost comparison, not a recommendation to replace one integrated system with ten separate vendors.

Some equivalents cannot be priced honestly without a quote.
These requirements are part of the Business comparison, but no defensible public fixed price was available. They remain outside the $1,238.15 subtotal.

Business plan facts
What the $399 WerkOps subscription includes
WerkOps Business includes all Starter and Pro functions, 10 total dashboard logins, unlimited employee and technician records, and up to three locations. Each additional location is $150/month.
Does the $1,238.15 monthly total include every possible fee?
No. It is the sum of published recurring base prices in the selected replacement stack. Usage-based payment, SMS, voice, AI, measurement, financing, customer reward, implementation, and quote-only charges are shown separately.
Why use one core field-service platform in the comparison?
A core platform prevents obvious double counting. Service Fusion Pro supplies the operational foundation, while category leaders fill the Business-plan capabilities it does not clearly replace.
Does WerkOps Business include the AI Receptionist?
No. The AI Receptionist is an optional add-on for Pro and Business. The limited-time launch price is $79 per month with 450 included minutes, then $15 per additional 50 minutes. The price for future subscribers will be $129 per month; customers who subscribe during the launch offer keep the $79 rate while the add-on remains continuously active. If you do not need it, you do not have to buy it.
How many users and locations are included with WerkOps Business?
WerkOps Business includes 10 total dashboard logins, unlimited employee and technician records, and up to three business locations. Additional locations are $150 per month each.
Are the vendor prices guaranteed?
No. They are public US list prices checked August 20, 2026. Vendors can change plans, allowances, promotions, and fees, so buyers should verify the final contract or checkout price.
