HiVis vs Workyard for installation and service crews
Workyard is workforce management software for construction crews, built around GPS-verified time from the worker’s phone, with exports to payroll and accounting systems. HiVis is office software for small installation and service companies. The office or a foreman enters hours by job, and HiVis turns them into pay, job costs, stock and van records.
Every fact about Workyard below links to Workyard’s own pages and shows when we checked it.
Choose Workyard if
- You want GPS-verified time and location tracking, and clock-in limited to geofences around each site (Pro plan).
- Your workers use iPhone or Android phones, and some prefer the app in Spanish.
- You run payroll in QuickBooks, ADP or Gusto and want time exported to it.
Choose HiVis if
- You want one flat price per workspace: $49/month covers up to 25 users, and crew who never sign in are free.
- You want stock with minimum levels, who holds each tool and what each job used, without a separate add-on.
- You want van insurance, inspection and service reminders by date or mileage, with email alerts.
Price for a 10- and 25-person team
HiVis charges one monthly price per workspace, set by how many people sign in. Workyard publishes a starting price per user per month.
| Team size | HiVis | Workyard |
|---|---|---|
| 10 people | Team plan: $49/month, or $39/month billed yearly | From 10 × $6 = $60/month, billed annually |
| 25 people | Team plan: $49/month, or $39/month billed yearly | From 25 × $6 = $150/month, billed annually |
Workyard’s pricing page shows a starting price billed annually. It doesn’t show the price with monthly billing, and Smart Forms, which covers equipment check-out, is a separate add-on. In HiVis, crew members whose hours the office enters don’t need a login and don’t count as users, so a crew like that can fit a smaller plan.
