Muster vs Workever — frequently asked questions

Is Workever good for UK trade businesses?+
Workever is a solid starter tool for very small teams who need basic scheduling and invoicing. However, it lacks AI features, GPS fleet tracking, compliance management, RAMS generation, call recording, training platform, and certificate tracking — all of which growing UK trade businesses typically need. Most businesses switch when they realise they're bolting on separate tools for everything Workever doesn't do.
How much does Workever cost compared to Muster?+
Workever charges £29-39 per user per month. For a team of 5, that's £145-195/month. Muster Starter is £179/month flat rate but includes AI receptionist, GPS fleet tracking, RAMS generation, compliance tracking, call recording, training platform, and WhatsApp messaging — none of which Workever offers at any price.
Can I migrate from Workever to Muster?+
Yes. Muster offers a white-glove migration that typically takes 1-2 weeks. Your customers, jobs, and templates are imported. You can run both systems in parallel during the transition.
What does Muster have that Workever doesn't?+
AI receptionist (24/7 call answering), GPS fleet tracking with live van locations, RAMS generation, compliance and certification tracking, training platform with courses and quizzes, call recording and transcription, AI bid writing for tenders, WhatsApp Business messaging, Pay by Bank (0.7% + 30p), and CIS subcontractor management.
