Trak vs Crewtraka
AN ALTERNATIVE TO
CREWTRAKA
Both Trak and Crewtraka are job management apps, with an emphasis on coordinating jobs and team members. Crewtraka has four different levels of payment plans (6 pack, Basic, Premium & Pro). As the only difference between the plans appears to be the amount of crew and managers you can add, we have decided to review the Basic plan. While Trak takes a holistic approach to job management, Crewtraka focuses more intently on scheduling of team members to jobs and either only allows for a shallow level of functionality in other areas or doesn't offer them at all. Unlike Trak, Crewtraka does boast a equipment yard feature that lets you track and schedule work equipment, however it doesn't have any ability to create quotes or invoices.
