CoatingOS vs Workiz

The Workiz Alternative for Floor Coating Pros

Workiz is dispatch software for high-volume hourly trades. Coating contractors sell fewer, bigger, multi-phase jobs — and need a CRM built around that reality.

Why Coating Contractors Choose CoatingOS over Workiz

"Workiz is built for businesses that run twenty small tickets a day. A coating company runs two or three big installs a week — won or lost in the follow-up, priced by the square foot, delivered by a crew on a tight cure schedule. CoatingOS is built around that exact rhythm, with transparent pricing you can see without sitting through a sales demo."

Workiz

Where it falls short

  • Pricing isn't published — you have to book a demo, and per-user fees stack up
  • Geared to hourly dispatch trades like HVAC, junk removal, and locksmiths

  • Heavyweight for an owner-operated coating crew

Pricing: Not published publicly — demo required; additional users $55–$65/user/mo
