Daybill vs Workyard: one flat price, and invoicing built in.
Both support field crews. Workyard charges for each user, from $6 USD a month on its Starter plan billed annually, and sends time data to external accounting for invoices; Daybill connects scheduling, timesheets, payroll totals, chat, and client invoicing in one flat plan. Here is the honest comparison.
No credit card. Both free plans stay free and include CSV export.
The short answer
Built for the size you actually are
Daybill starts free, solo or with a crew of up to 10 on Team Free, and grows into flat-priced crew control: on Team, adding people does not change the price until you pass 20 members.
Where Workyard is genuinely stronger
Workyard offers deeper GPS and route history, native apps, a spend card, formal compliance tools, a broad ERP API, dedicated support, and years of construction-market proof.
Where the difference shows
The price gap is structural, not a discount
Workyard charges for each user, from $6 USD a month on its Starter plan billed annually. Daybill Solo Pro is $14.99 CAD total and Team is $39 CAD flat for 20 members, so the bill does not grow with each hire until you pass 20.
Daybill closes the loop with client billing
One approved timesheet updates payroll totals and loads into the client invoice when you create it, with pay rate, charge rate, and margin linked to the job. Workyard exports the records to an accounting system for billing.

Common questions
Is Daybill cheaper than Workyard?
For most crews, yes. Workyard charges for each user, from $6 USD a month on Starter billed annually, so 15 users come to $90 USD a month before any base fee (Workyard's own comparison articles list $50 a month) or higher tier. Daybill has two free plans, Solo Pro at $14.99 CAD, and Team at $39 CAD flat for 20 members. The currencies differ, but flat versus per-user pricing is the lasting distinction.
What does Workyard have that Daybill does not?
Street-level GPS and route history, native mobile apps, a Visa spend card, overtime and break compliance, incident reporting, a large ERP API, dedicated support, and a much longer construction track record. Those are meaningful advantages.
What does Daybill have that Workyard does not?
Client invoices built from the same approved hours, job margin, and two free plans: Team Free for crews up to 10 counted seats and Solo Free for billing several client companies on your own. Daybill keeps scheduling, payroll totals, chat, and invoicing in one flat plan.
Can I try Daybill free?
Yes. Team Free covers crews up to 10 counted seats and 5 client companies, with scheduling, approvals, payroll preparation and chat. Solo Free covers one operator with up to 5 client companies, timesheets, PDF invoices and payroll-ready CSV export. Neither plan needs a card or has a trial clock.
