Questions people ask

How does WorkWise's price compare with getSoapy's?
getSoapy starts at £7 a month and then adds its own fee to every payment. WorkWise Rounds is £35 a month with no fee on top of Stripe's and GoCardless's own rates, so the more payments you take, the closer the two get. Add up your real month before you decide.
Does WorkWise take a cut of my payments?
No. Card payments go through Stripe and bank payments through GoCardless, both in your own accounts, at their usual rates. WorkWise adds no fee.
Can I use WorkWise if I have workers?
Yes. Add each worker to your Rounds account for £10 a month per worker login, and helpers without a login are free. getSoapy's workers are cheaper at £4.90 a month. For bigger teams with subcontractors, WorkWise Pro is built for that.
