TeamTask vs Workyard at a glance

Different tools for different teams. Here's how to tell which one your crew actually needs.

Workyard

Workyard is laser-focused on precise GPS time tracking and payroll accuracy. Crews love the simple clock-in; owners love the airtight timesheets and job-level cost visibility.

TeamTask

TeamTask is laser-focused on getting crews to the right job with the right info and proving completion. Tasks, addresses, photo proof, and chat — not surveillance-grade payroll.

Why crews switch from Workyard to TeamTask

Four signals it's time to try a tool built for the truck.

1

You don't need continuous GPS surveillance

Workyard's strength is precise location tracking for payroll. If you don't need that level of surveillance — or your crew resists it — TeamTask's optional check-in model is a better fit.

2

Your problem is dispatch, not payroll

If you find yourself fixing 'wrong job, wrong address' more than 'wrong hours,' you need a coordination tool, not a payroll tool.

3

Workyard's $50 base + per-user adds up fast

For a 4-person crew, that's roughly $74/month minimum. TeamTask is free for 3 and $19.99/month for 10.

4

You want photo proof as the completion event, not an attachment

TeamTask treats the photo as the done-button. Workyard treats it as a supporting file.

Workyard alternative FAQ

The questions crews ask before switching.

Is TeamTask a Workyard alternative?
For crew coordination and completion proof, yes. For precise GPS-tracked payroll, no — Workyard is purpose-built for that. Some teams use both: TeamTask for daily workflow, Workyard for payroll. Most small crews under 10 don't need Workyard's tracking level and pick TeamTask alone.
How does TeamTask pricing compare to Workyard?
Workyard charges $6–$13/user/month plus a $50 base fee. For 4 crew that's around $74/month minimum. TeamTask is free for up to 3 crew and $19.99/month flat for up to 10.
Does TeamTask track crew time?
Yes — clock-in/clock-out per task, exportable to CSV for payroll. It's lighter than Workyard's continuous GPS tracking, which is intentional: many crews don't want surveillance-grade tracking.
Can I use TeamTask and Workyard together?
Yes — and many teams do. Use TeamTask for daily dispatch, photo proof, and crew chat. Use Workyard for payroll-grade time tracking. They don't directly integrate today, but they coexist cleanly because they solve different problems.
Which is simpler — TeamTask or Workyard?
TeamTask is simpler for the day-to-day crew flow (task list, addresses, photo proof, chat). Workyard is simpler for payroll-grade time data. The answer depends on which problem is louder in your shop.
