Why teams switch

Where Clox is the better fit.

01

One plan, first 3 users included, so a small crew pays far less

Workyard charges a $50 monthly company base fee plus $8/user on Starter or $16/user on Pro. A 6-person crew is about $98/month on Starter and about $146/month on Pro. Clox is $47/month for the same six people, includes the first three users in the $29 base, and puts every feature on one plan instead of splitting them across tiers.

02

Scheduling, geofences, and time-off are included, not gated to a higher tier

On Workyard, job scheduling, unlimited project geofences, labor cost reporting, and time-off management sit on the Pro tier at $16/user. Clox includes geofenced worksites, scheduling with enforcement windows, projects and worksite tagging, and PTO on its single plan, so you do not have to move up a tier to get them.

03

A public proof-of-presence verifier no rival cleanly matches

GPS on any tool, Workyard or Clox, comes from the worker's phone, so it is a strong deterrent rather than something foolproof. Clox adds a tamper-evident, signed and hash-chained punch ledger with a public /verify page, so a punch record can be independently checked later. Workyard does not offer a comparable public verifier.

The verdict

Which one should you pick?

Pick Workyard if

You need Workyard's highly accurate GPS and mature labor cost tracking, or you are a larger field-service operation that wants automatic worksite detection and ERP integrations on its higher tiers.

Pick Clox if

You are a 3 to 25 person trades crew that wants one plan with every feature included, honest geofence framing, a public proof-of-presence record, and one screen to clock in, without paying a company base fee on top of per-user pricing or moving up a tier to unlock scheduling and time-off.
