The free WorkWave alternative built for New Orleans contractors.
New Orleans has some of the most distinctive housing in the country, with shotgun doubles, Creole cottages, and raised basements that demand specialized repair knowledge. Post-Katrina rebuilding introduced new elevation requirements and floodplain rules that touch nearly every major job. The metro stretches across the North Shore into Mandeville and Covington where newer construction balances the historic core. Termites, humidity, and subsidence keep pest control, foundation, and drainage pros in constant demand. WorkWave charges Custom quote (enterprise pricing) for the privilege of running your business. Clockwork costs $0/month — pay only when you collect a payment.
The real cost of WorkWave in New Orleans.
WorkWave will not tell you what it costs without a discovery call and a demo , that alone is a red flag.
Multi-product stack means you buy PestPac, Service, and Route Manager separately and integrate them yourself.
Annual contracts and implementation fees lock mid-size operators in before they can even evaluate fit.
The learning curve is enterprise-grade , your dispatcher and techs need weeks of training.
No virtual receptionist and no built-in financing means you still lose after-hours leads and big-ticket jobs.
Pricing not published. Expect multi-thousand dollar monthly bills plus implementation, training, and per-user fees for multi-route operators.
3.5% + 30¢ when you collect a payment. No monthly fee, no contract, no setup fee.
