Fieldproxy vs the alternatives

Looking for a Workiz alternative?

Workiz is built for 5-30 employee hvac, plumbing, locksmith teams. Fieldproxy is the AI-native FSM that builds itself around your operation — describe a change in plain English and our platform implements it. Think Lovable, but for field service.

Frequently asked questions

About Fieldproxy as a Workiz alternative.

Is Fieldproxy a good Workiz alternative?
Yes, particularly if you need AI Command Center — voice and chat agents replace the dialer with conversational AI for dispatch and comms. Fieldproxy serves HVAC, Plumbing, Locksmith, Garage Door and any other service vertical with custom workflows, AI dispatching, and transparent pricing.
How does Fieldproxy pricing compare to Workiz?
Workiz pricing starts at $45-$200/user/month with $0-$2,500 in setup fees. Fieldproxy uses transparent pricing tailored to your operation with no setup fees and a faster time-to-live (1-3 weeks → 1-3 weeks with Fieldproxy).
How long does it take to switch from Workiz to Fieldproxy?
Most teams switch from Workiz to Fieldproxy in 2-4 weeks. We provide free migration consultation, data export assistance, and a parallel-run period to minimise disruption.
Does Fieldproxy work for HVAC?
Yes. Fieldproxy is used by HVAC businesses ranging from 5 to 500+ technicians. Unlike Workiz, the platform isn't locked into one vertical — it adapts to your specific HVAC operation.
Can Fieldproxy replace Workiz for AI features?
Fieldproxy is AI-native in two specific ways Workiz isn't. First, the AI Command Center handles dispatching, quote follow-up, customer comms, and route optimisation through voice or chat. Second, Fieldproxy uses AI-driven customization — operators describe a workflow change in plain English and the platform builds it live. It's the closest thing to Lovable, for FSM. Workiz typically requires third-party AI add-ons for the first capability and has no equivalent of the second.
How quickly can I customize Fieldproxy compared to Workiz?
Most workflow changes in Fieldproxy take minutes — describe what you want in plain English and the platform builds it. Workiz typically requires either an admin's clicks across multiple config screens, or a paid professional-services engagement for anything non-trivial.
What customer support does Fieldproxy offer compared to Workiz?
Fieldproxy provides hands-on customer success support during onboarding plus ongoing access to our customization team. No ticket queues, no implementation fee for changes.
