Taskly vs WorkflowMax

Modern, lightweight job software. Without the Practice Manager baggage.

WorkflowMax is built for professional services and trade firms doing complex project accounting. For most NZ home service businesses it's overkill — heavy setup, legacy UI, no customer-facing booking, and a price tag that climbs fast. Taskly is purpose-built for home services on a modern web stack: fast to set up, intuitive, customer-facing, and shipping new features regularly.
