Comparison

MEPSub vs Workiz

Workiz is phone-first dispatch software for home services. Here's an honest, side-by-side look at how it compares with MEPSub — the all-in-one platform built by an MEP/HVAC contractor to run both your project and field-service work.

Bottom line

MEPSub adds the whole construction side, uses flatter transparent pricing instead of a per-user + add-on stack (~$400/mo), and is built for MEP rather than appliance/locksmith dispatch.

On the other hand: Workiz's built-in VoIP and call-tracking is best-in-class; MEPSub doesn't match that phone stack.
