In its favor
Why people choose WORKetc
The signal that keeps WORKetc on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Integrated business management in one subscription reduces the need to pay for separate CRM, project, and billing tools.
Strong customer service reputation with fast response times and real human support cited across multiple reviews.
Project Types and Stages feature gives service teams configurable progress tracking beyond simple task counts.
Google Workspace integration (Gmail Add-on, Two-Way Calendar and Contact Sync) fits teams already in the Google ecosystem.
Custom fields and web forms allow service businesses to capture industry-specific data without developer assistance.
Teams outgrow the platform as they scale — one reviewer noted the product worked initially but they quickly outgrew it.
Email integration limitations frustrate users who rely on direct synchronization with third-party email services.
Bugs and difficulty customizing the platform appear in negative reviews, particularly around early use periods.
The $78+ flat rate becomes expensive per-user as headcount grows beyond the included seats on Starter.
Some users report that the interface feels less polished than newer CRM competitors entering the market.

What gets migrated
WORKetc object support
Object-by-object support for WORKetc migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Contacts
Fully supportedStandard contact records with name, email, phone, address, and lifecycle information. We map Contacts directly to the destination CRM contact object, preserving all standard fields and owner assignments.
Companies
Fully supportedCompany records serve as parent entities linked to multiple contacts. We preserve Company → Contact relationships and map company-level properties to the destination's account or company object.
Leads
Fully supportedWORKetc's Lead records capture early-stage prospects through to conversion. We export the full lead lifecycle including status, source, and converted-flagged records, mapping to destination Lead or Contact objects as appropriate.
Deals
Fully supportedDeals are linked to Companies and Contacts with stage, amount, and probability fields. We preserve the deal-to-company association and stage pipeline configuration during migration.
Projects
Mapping requiredProjects use Project Types and Stages for weighted progress tracking, which differs from simple task-based progress. We export all project records, stages, milestones, and task hierarchies, but stage weightings may require manual reconfiguration in the destination.
Tickets (Support Cases)
Fully supportedSupport tickets link to Customers, Companies, and Projects with status, priority, and conversation threads. We export ticket records with full conversation history and attachment references.
Invoices
Mapping requiredInvoice records include line items, totals, and payment status linked to Customers and Projects. We export invoice headers and line items; payment history and linked bank transaction records require separate handling.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredWORKetc supports custom fields across multiple objects via their Custom Field system. Custom field definitions and values are exported, but field types (dropdown, text, date) require mapping to equivalent destination field types.
Users and Contractors
Mapping requiredUser records include name, email, role, and permission level. Contractor portal users are a separate user type with limited access. We export both but role structures rarely map 1:1 to destination permission models.
Documents and Files
Mapping requiredFile management in WORKetc stores documents linked to records. We export file metadata and URL references; actual file binary export depends on the destination's document storage capabilities.
Knowledge Base
Mapping requiredKB articles and categories are stored separately from CRM records. We export article content and category assignments; rich formatting and embedded media may require post-migration review.
Workflows and Automations
Not in this platformWORKetc workflow rules and automation triggers are not exposed via API. These must be reconstructed manually in the destination platform using the exported workflow descriptions as reference.
Web Forms
Mapping requiredWeb forms capture lead and contact data. We export form definitions and field mappings; the actual hosted form URLs must be replaced with destination form endpoints post-migration.
