How to switch

Switching from Workiz.
In three steps.

The whole migration runs from one screen. Keep Workiz active until you're sure — most shops cancel within the week.

Step 1 of 3

Export from Workiz

Workiz → Settings → Export Data. Tick clients, jobs, invoices, sources. You'll get a CSV bundle downloadable from the same screen.

Step 2 of 3

One-click import

Drop the Workiz CSVs into the lınq importer. We map clients, jobs, and the lead-source taxonomy — the Workiz piece you don't want to lose — across into lınq's reporting.

Step 3 of 3

Run side-by-side for a week

Forward one phone line to lınq's AI receptionist. Dispatch real jobs. If your Workiz workflow has anything custom, we'll match it before you cancel.


Before you switch

Five questions shop owners ask about Workiz.

lınq Solo at $49/mo is lower than the Workiz Lite tier at $65/mo, and lınq doesn't cap users on Crew. The real win is the AI receptionist — included on every lınq plan, an add-on on Workiz.
Yes. The lınq importer reads the standard Workiz CSV exports — clients, jobs, invoices, and the lead-source data so your call-tracking numbers don't disappear when you switch.
Yes for the core workflow — dispatch, jobs, invoicing, customer portal, call tracking, lead-source reporting. The AI receptionist replaces Workiz Genius. Card processing runs through lınq at 2.00% year-one instead of Workiz Pay.
Workiz built its lead-source attribution and caller-ID screening in deeper than most. If your shop's marketing budget runs heavily on tracked numbers per channel, Workiz's call-center reports have a few cuts we don't match line-for-line yet.
Under an hour for the import. A day to forward your lines to the lınq AI receptionist. Most locksmith shops are running on lınq by the second weekend.

Run your real Monday on lınq.
