Head to head
Checking sources…Okappy is sme-to-enterprise field-service and facilities-management businesses that use subcontractors; minimum 5-user entry point makes it unsuitable for sole traders. Here is where it beats us, where we beat it, and what each one actually costs.
Okappy's genuine differentiator is its subcontractor network model — businesses that regularly distribute work to external contractors benefit from its connected-platform approach, and it integrates with enterprise systems (SAP, Oracle, IBM Maximo) that no other vendor in this group touches.
Minimum 5-user requirement and pricing tier structure (£29–39/user/year paid upfront) make it expensive and inappropriate for 1–4-person UK trades businesses; the marketing site is sparse on modern feature evidence and the product feels less polished than newer entrants.
Users cannot edit their own forms independently and must contact Okappy for every change, which does not suit businesses with frequently evolving processes.

Answer eight questions about your team, your trade and what's costing you money. We'll rank all 16 platforms for your situation and show three-year costs — and we'll tell you when a competitor is the better buy.
FAQ
Every competitor cell is read from that company's own public pages and dated. Where a vendor doesn't publish an answer we mark it not published rather than assuming a no — an absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence. Prices are shown in the currency the vendor actually bills in; we don't convert silently. Checking sources….
We compete with these companies, so treat this as our reading of the public facts, not a neutral audit. If something here is wrong or out of date — especially if it's your product — tell us and we'll correct it.
