WorkxPro vs Chronotek Pro
Both are built for cleaning crews you cannot see in person. The difference is how you clock people in, what it costs, and how much you learn about your jobs once they do.
14-day trial. No credit card. No base fee.
Chronotek Pro has been in commercial cleaning a long time, and it shows in the parts that matter for janitorial: phone-in clock-in for crews without smartphones, shared-phone hardware, and support in 35 languages. WorkxPro is a newer, mobile-first platform that prices in the open, runs offline, and tells you which buildings are eating your margin. If half your crews still punch in from a building landline or share one phone, read the Chronotek column carefully. If your cleaners carry their own phones and you want job costing plus pricing you can see before you talk to a salesperson, WorkxPro is the leaner pick.

Why crews pick WorkxPro over Chronotek Pro
You can see the price before you talk to anyone
WorkxPro publishes per-cleaner pricing: $8, $14, or $22 a seat per month, no base fee, no contract, no minimum. Chronotek Pro quotes by request, which means a sales call before you know if it fits your budget. For a 20-cleaner shop trying to make a fast call, seeing the number up front is the difference between deciding today and waiting on a callback.
You learn which buildings are losing you money
Both tools tell you who clocked in. WorkxPro also tells you what it cost. The budget-vs-actual report shows variance and burn rate per building, so you find the account that is quietly eating two extra hours a night before it eats your year. Chronotek Pro is strong on attendance but lighter here.
It works when the site has no signal
Cleaning happens in basements, stairwells, and back-of-house with no bars. WorkxPro is offline-first: clock-ins live on the phone and sync when signal comes back, so the timestamp is real even when the network is not. No dropped punches to chase down the next morning.
Nothing to install on the wall
WorkxPro runs on the phones your cleaners already carry. No NFC TimeTiles to mount and manage at every building, no hardware to replace when one walks off. Fewer moving parts to set up and keep working. The trade-off is real, and we are honest about it below: if your crews do not carry smartphones, that hardware is exactly what you need.
Where Chronotek Pro is the better pick
- Crews without smartphones. Chronotek Pro lets cleaners clock in by calling a phone number, and offers NFC TimeTiles for shared-phone sites. WorkxPro is mobile-only and assumes each cleaner has a phone. If a chunk of your crew has no smartphone, Chronotek fits a reality WorkxPro does not cover yet.
- Multilingual crews. Chronotek Pro supports 35 languages out of the box. WorkxPro is English-only today. For a crew that reads Spanish, Portuguese, or Vietnamese first, that is a real day-one advantage.
- US payroll. WorkxPro's only payroll export is Payworks, which is Canada-only, with no QuickBooks, ADP, or Gusto yet. If you run US payroll and want a native handoff, Chronotek Pro's established integrations beat exporting a file by hand.
WorkxPro is true per-cleaner and published: Starter $8, Professional $14, Business $22 per seat per month, with no base fee, no contract, and no seat minimum. Annual billing saves up to about 21 percent, and the 14-day trial needs no credit card. Chronotek Pro prices per user but does not list it publicly, so you request a quote to find out. We cannot quote their number for you, only point out that you will need a sales conversation to get it. One honest caveat on our side: WorkxPro has no free tier, so past the trial it is paid from cleaner one.
If your cleaners carry their own phones, you want job costing per building, and you would rather see pricing than schedule a call, WorkxPro is the leaner, more transparent pick, and it runs offline when the site has no signal. If a real share of your crew clocks in by phone or shares a device, needs another language, or you run US payroll, Chronotek Pro's phone-in clock-in, NFC hardware, 35-language support, and established integrations make it the safer choice. Pick based on how your crews actually punch in, not on the feature list.
No credit card required.
WorkxPro vs Chronotek Pro, answered
Does WorkxPro let cleaners clock in by phone like Chronotek Pro?
No. WorkxPro is mobile-app only, with 2-tap GPS-verified clock-in. Chronotek Pro offers call-in clock-in and NFC TimeTiles for shared phones. If part of your crew has no smartphone, Chronotek covers that case and WorkxPro does not yet.
Can I see WorkxPro pricing without talking to sales?
Yes. It is published per cleaner: Starter $8, Professional $14, Business $22 per seat per month, no base fee, no contract, no minimum. Chronotek Pro prices per user but quotes by request, so you will need a sales conversation to get their number.
Which one is better for no-show alerts?
It is close, and no-shows are Chronotek Pro's calling card. WorkxPro sends minute-resolution late and no-show alerts by email and SMS, and it suppresses false alarms when a cleaner was on time but offline and synced late. For most cleaning shops both will tell you fast when a crew misses a start.
Does WorkxPro support other languages?
Not yet. WorkxPro is English-only today. Chronotek Pro supports 35 languages. If your crew works in another language first, that is a genuine reason to choose Chronotek.
Will WorkxPro export to my payroll?
Only if you run Payworks, which is Canada-only right now. There is no QuickBooks, ADP, or Gusto integration yet. If you need a US payroll handoff, Chronotek Pro's existing integrations are the stronger fit.
Does WorkxPro need hardware at each building?
No. It runs on the phones your cleaners already carry, so there is nothing to mount or maintain on site. That is simpler to set up, but it only works if every cleaner has a phone. Chronotek Pro's NFC TimeTiles exist precisely for shared-phone sites.
