Workyard is one of the strongest GPS time tracking apps built for construction, and it deserves a fair comparison. Here's what it does well, what it costs, and where a different tool might fit your crew better.
What Workyard does well
- Deep payroll and accounting connections. Workyard advertises 20+ native payroll and ERP integrations.
- Offline mode. Time is captured without signal and syncs when the phone reconnects.
- Detailed geofencing and job costing. Including cost codes assigned automatically by location.
If your office runs on direct payroll syncs and detailed job costing, those are real advantages.
What Workyard costs
As listed on Workyard's website in November 2026:
- Starter: $6 per user per month billed annually ($8 billed monthly), plus a $50/month company base fee.
- Pro: $13 per user per month billed annually ($16 billed monthly), plus the $50 base fee.
- Enterprise: custom quote.
- 14-day free trial.
| Crew size | Workyard Starter (annual) | Workyard Starter (monthly) | CrewVerify |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 workers | $110/mo | $130/mo | $69/mo (Starter) |
| 25 workers | $200/mo | $250/mo | $199/mo (Pro) |
At 25 workers on annual billing, the two cost about the same. The decision comes down to features, not price.
Where CrewVerify is different
- No app to install. Workers check in from a text link with a one-time code.
- Compliance at the gate. Certification tracking can warn, or block check-in, when a required card is missing or expired.
- Incident reports from verified data. OSHA 301 reports pull the worker's verified arrival time, hours on site and who else was checked in.
- Month to month, with no annual commitment needed to get the lowest price.
Where Workyard is the better fit
If you need direct sync into your payroll system or ERP, Workyard is ahead. CrewVerify exports a CSV for payroll rather than syncing directly. If scheduling and detailed job costing are your main needs, Workyard does more of that today.
CrewVerify is built for contractors whose main questions are "who was really on site?" and "were they qualified to be there?", and who want crews checking in within minutes without an app.
