Workwize vs Quipteams: $8 a Seat From 150 Users, or a Quote per Order?

Workwize vs Quipteams is a comparison both vendors have already written for you. Quipteams published a page about Workwize in July 2026, and Workwize answered with a page about Quipteams in August. Each page makes the other vendor's model sound like the risk, so a buyer ends up reading two sales cases instead of one comparison.

The models really are opposite. Workwize sells a per-seat subscription and lets software place the orders. Quipteams charges per order and gives every account a named manager. G2's own summary puts Workwize's average time to implement at 2 months, so the choice also decides how soon the first laptop ships. The short answer: Workwize for a team of 150 or more that wants HR events to drive orders, Quipteams for a Latin American team that wants a person on the other end.

Competitor figures come from each vendor's own pages and review profiles as recorded in September and October 2026.

Who Is Workwize Best For?

Between 3 and 16 September 2026, Workwize collected 14 new G2 reviews, all tagged as seller invites, and its score slipped from 4.4 to 4.2 as they arrived. Most of its public record now comes from customers Workwize asked to write.

Founded in Amsterdam in 2020, Workwize now also runs a New York office and lists 14 warehouse hubs. Its bet is software. In 2026 it shipped an MCP server for AI tools (June) and an agent that builds workflows from a plain-language request (September). Its pricing FAQ says "Our pricing scales with your team size, not your usage". Three buyers get the most from that:

• Teams whose HR system should place the order: a hire entered in BambooHR, HiBob, Workday, Personio or Rippling can open a device order with no ticket from IT.
• Teams that want a fixed bill: services sit inside the seat fee, so a busy month costs the same in fees as a quiet one. Hardware is still billed per order.
• Teams that want to rent as well as buy: Workwize says it procures for purchase or rental, which neither rival in this comparison offers.

One gate applies before any of this. The entry plan, Basic, is closed below 150 users, and Workwize's FAQ states that the platform "has been designed for companies with 150 FTE and up". Customers who clear it tend to forgive rough edges because fixes keep coming. One Capterra reviewer, invited by Workwize, rates it 5 out of 5 while naming missing parts of the interface, because the team keeps closing those gaps (vendor-invited Capterra review).

For Whom Is Quipteams Useful?

Quipteams holds 5.0 from 32 G2 reviews, and 13 of them arrived between July and September 2026, every one rated 4.5 or 5. A perfect average built that fast says more about a review drive than about a flawless service, so the individual reviews are the better guide. Nineteen of the 32 reviewers sit in Latin America.

Quipteams has never raised outside money, its team started in Buenos Aires, and LinkedIn puts its size at 11 to 50 people. Where Workwize automates, Quipteams staffs. Every account gets its own account manager at no charge, according to the pricing page. It suits:

• Teams that want a person, not a workflow: reviewers name their account managers and credit them for speed. An IT manager writes, "The equipment requests are processed quickly, and the deliveries are also fast" (December 2024 G2 review).
• Teams hiring across Latin America: devices come from resellers inside each country, and most of the reviewers who name a country name one in the region. More detail sits in how Quipteams reviews break down.
• Teams that want to try before they consolidate: Quipteams' own Workwize comparison page suggests testing it on the next five to ten orders.

Its FAQ describes most customers as fintech, SaaS and AI companies of 200 to 10,000 employees, so this is not only a small-team vendor.

Tequipy: An Alternative

Before Tequipy, its co-founder was Revolut's Head of IT through the years the company went from 100 staff in 2 offices to 5,000 in 17, without losing a single laptop. Tequipy combines the person and the platform, then adds a public price list. Next to this pair, three things are really different:

• A published retail price: hardware costs what the local manufacturer's store asks, with delivery included, and every standard service rate is on the public price list. Neither Workwize nor Quipteams publishes device prices.
• 180+ countries, against Quipteams' 155: 600+ authorized resellers fill orders inside the employee's country. Workwize's highest published count is 130+.
• Services on devices bought anywhere, at listed rates: retrieval, storage and redeployment work on laptops you already own, at the same prices as on the list.

Tequipy's column is taken from its published price list; each competitor figure is sourced later in this guide.

Price

The two vendors disagree on what you should pay for: Workwize bills the headcount, Quipteams bills the order. Neither publishes a device price list.

Workwize Price

• Seats plus a platform fee: on the pages where Workwize compares itself with rivals, Basic costs $8 a seat and Professional $11 a seat, each with a $540 platform fee on top. Its pricing page shows "Request Pricing" on all three tiers. The full breakdown sits in what Workwize's seat plans cost.
• Services come with the seats: pickups, storage and repairs are listed per tier, with no separate price. The fees stay the same whether or not anyone joins or leaves; hardware is billed per order on top.
• Hardware carries an overhead: Workwize publishes no device prices, and one reviewer who rates it well still reports paying a little above market for hardware bought through it (vendor-invited Capterra review). A team that evaluated Workwize found the pricing "very difficult to understand".

Quipteams Price

• No platform fee and no setup fee: terms Tequipy also offers for fleets of up to 100 devices.
• Devices at a local market price: the pricing page says "the sticker is in line with what you'd pay locally". An older line on the same page promised "no intermediary markups"; it is gone. In one buyer evaluation shared with us, the fees on a single 16-inch laptop added up to about $1,000.
• Services quoted case by case: new, unassigned devices are stored free, and used ones from $35 a device a month. Retrieval, buyback and repair are quoted per country. The line-by-line view is in Quipteams pricing explained.

Verdict on Price

Quipteams wins in a quiet month, because it charges nothing when nothing happens. Workwize wins for a finance team that wants every service cost fixed on the day it signs. Below 150 users the question closes for Workwize's Basic plan, and its higher tiers need a sales call.

Ease of Use

Ease of use here means two things: how soon the first laptop ships, and how much someone has to fix by hand afterwards.

Workwize Ease of Use

• A long setup: Workwize's pricing FAQ says "Most teams are operational within a few weeks", while G2's reviewer average for time to implement is 2 months.
• New automation, early results: Workwize's own launch post for its workflow agent reports that "77% produced a working workflow, and 20% ended with a workflow that went live". The agent is in early access through customer success managers.
• Automation that misfires: an Enterprise TechOps manager writes that "Restock automations meant to keep stock topped up instead re-trigger repeatedly when delayed laptops don't arrive, causing over-ordering and overspending" (seller-invited G2 review).

Quipteams Ease of Use

• A quote request without an account: anyone can ask for a device in a given country without logging in. Quipteams promises to confirm "exact pricing and stock within 24 hours", so the answer arrives later, not on screen.
• Fast HRIS setup, by its own account: Quipteams' FAQ says most HRIS connections go live in under 15 minutes.
• People fill the gaps: where a workflow would run, a Quipteams account manager usually steps in, which works well at low volume.

Verdict on Ease of Use

Quipteams is faster to start, because there is little to configure. Workwize asks for weeks of setup and pays it back only when its automation runs cleanly.

Customer Support

Support is where the two models show most clearly: Workwize routes problems through a platform, Quipteams through a person.

Workwize Support

• Problems surface late: a mid-market reviewer says some issues reached his team only after it started investigating, and he expected Workwize to raise them first (seller-invited G2 review).
• Slow follow-up in some accounts: an Enterprise TechOps manager writes, "Teams end up chasing Workwize support too regularly just to get updates" (seller-invited G2 review).
• Friendly people: reviewers who criticise the platform still tend to praise the account staff.

Quipteams Support

• Named managers: the strongest pattern in its reviews is praise for individual people by first name.
• A portal queue as volume grows: a mid-market customer, who rates Quipteams 5 out of 5, says account reps now steer emailed requests into the ticket portal, an extra step for him (September 2026 G2 review).
• Contact with employees: a small-business customer asks to be told whenever Quipteams contacts its employees directly, so its own operations team can plan around it (August 2026 G2 review).

Verdict on Support

Quipteams wins on the relationship, and its own customers show the edge wearing thin as requests move into a ticket portal. Workwize's weakness is the opposite: a reviewer says problems surfaced only when his own team went looking.

Integrations

Integrations decide how much of the work above happens without anyone typing it in.

Workwize Integrations

• The longer HRIS list: 100+ HRIS integrations claimed, with BambooHR, HiBob, Workday, Personio, Rippling, Gusto and ADP named, plus Okta, Entra ID, Jamf and Intune.
• Some of it sits on the top tier: SCIM and the public API are Enterprise only, and the MCP server is live for Enterprise customers.
• Setup friction: a Capterra reviewer lists "customization options and integrations issues" as the area Workwize most needs to improve (vendor-invited Capterra review).

Quipteams Integrations

• A shorter list, all included: Rippling, Workday, BambooHR, HiBob, Deel, Gusto and Personio are named, with SSO and a public API on every account.
• What users confirm: G2's review-based tag lists four tools: Jira Service Management, Okta, Rippling and Slack.
• Little HR data leaves your system: per its FAQ, Quipteams reads only name, email, start and end dates and location, and it never writes anything back.

Verdict on Integrations

Workwize wins on breadth, but the deepest pieces cost the most. Quipteams includes everything it has on every account. Tequipy's native HR connections are HiBob, BambooHR and Workday, at $199 a month. Laptops reach the employee already listed in Apple Business Manager or Windows Autopilot, so zero-touch deployment needs nothing extra whether the MDM is Jamf, Intune or Kandji.

Contracts, Minimums and Leaving

How easy it is to start matters less than how easy it is to stop, and here the two vendors sit far apart.

Workwize Contracts

• A seat floor on Basic: 150 users. Workwize's FAQ adds that "Smaller teams can sometimes benefit in case that they are fully remote", which leaves the door open on a call.
• Terms not published: the pricing page quotes a monthly seat fee and shows no term length.
• Room to negotiate: a director of IT says Workwize was "flexible with our contract terms which is hard to find" (vendor-invited Capterra review).

Quipteams Contracts

• No contract, no minimum, no exit fee: the same terms Tequipy works on. The pricing page adds that a signed agreement is available for procurement teams that want one, "it's just never required to start ordering".
• Data on exit: the account manager exports the asset history within 24 hours of a request.

Verdict on Contracts

Quipteams is the lower-risk start. Workwize suits a buyer who has already decided and wants terms negotiated once, for the whole headcount.

Coverage, Delivery and Returns

The country count on a vendor's homepage says where it can buy a laptop. The harder test is where it can get one back. In Capterra's 2022 offboarding survey, 71% of 287 HR workers had seen at least one departing employee fail to return company equipment.

Workwize Coverage

• Three country counts: 100+ on LinkedIn, 120 in the About page stats and 130+ in the FAQ, with 14 warehouses, including Mexico, Brazil and Costa Rica.
• Fast from stock: Workwize's FAQ promises shipping within 1 to 7 working days when the equipment is in stock, which usually means hardware you already paid for and parked in one of its warehouses.
• Strain away from the hubs: a Capterra reviewer writes, "Using these services in the EU, Australia and India has been stressful" (vendor-invited Capterra review). Workwize's About page claims a 30-day average retrieval cycle.

Quipteams Coverage

• 155 countries, graded: its coverage page, read on 1 October 2026, marks 107 as full lifecycle and 44 as everything except buyback, with 4 limited.
• Speed: Quipteams states a 4 business day average for new devices and 5 to 10 business days for most pickups. An IT manager at a mid-market customer notes, "we're not always notified immediately when a delivery is made", because couriers outside Quipteams carry the equipment (September 2026 G2 review).

Verdict on Coverage

Quipteams covers more of the map and grades it openly. Workwize is strongest near its warehouses and thinner away from them. Neither publishes retrieval results for a named country, so ask, or compare a laptop retrieval service that runs on devices bought anywhere.

Pro tip: test both vendors on a leaver, not a new hire. Pick one employee who leaves next month in a country outside your main region.

Ask Workwize whether your plan includes automatic offboarding pickup (Basic does not) and the date of its last completed pickup in that country. Ask Quipteams for the retrieval price in that country and the service grade on its coverage page. Ask both what happens after the third unanswered email. A new hire shows you how a vendor sells; a leaver shows you how it finishes the job.

How to Choose a Device Lifecycle Platform

Three checks settle this choice faster than a feature list.

Decide Who Handles the Exception

Most orders run themselves. The ones that matter are the delayed laptop, the missed enrolment, the leaver who stops answering. Ask each vendor who notices first: a rule in the software or a person on your account. Tequipy puts both in one shared Slack channel. Connecteam's IT manager describes the result in the Connecteam case study: "when someone missed a device-enrollment step, Tequipy pinged us in Slack to double-check."

Price a Quiet Month

Take a month when nobody joins or leaves and ask what you still pay. On Workwize, the full seat and platform fee. On Quipteams, nothing, plus storage on any used laptops. On Tequipy, nothing while you track up to 100 devices; past that, a flat $99 a month at any fleet size.

Check the Service Grade Outside Your Main Region

A vendor strong in one region can still be thin in the next. List the five countries where you hire most, send the list to both, and ask which services are live in each one now. Tequipy runs procurement, retrieval, storage and redeployment in each of its 180+ countries.

Alternative to Both: Tequipy

Tequipy runs the physical side of the device lifecycle the way Revolut's IT team did while it grew 50-fold: buy in the country, enrol before dispatch, collect every laptop when someone leaves.

Key Features

Tequipy works with the HR and MDM systems you already run, and a person on your Slack channel watches each order.

Local Sourcing in the Employee's Country

Every order goes to one of 600+ authorized resellers inside the employee's country, across 180+ countries. Because nothing ships between countries, the bill carries no customs charge or import duty. Delivery averages 3 business days and takes 10 at most anywhere, and Tequipy discounts a laptop that runs past that.

Devices That Arrive Enrolled

Tequipy registers every Mac in your Apple Business Manager and every Windows laptop in Autopilot before it ships, at no charge. The laptop enrols in your MDM by itself the first time it starts. Tequipy needs only your ABM organisation ID and never gets access to the MDM itself.

Returns, Storage, Redeployment and Sellback

When someone leaves, Tequipy emails them, sends a box if needed, books the courier, then wipes and checks the laptop. It can be stored for $12 a month, sent to the next hire for $70 to $150, or sold back for cash. Each step works on laptops you bought elsewhere.

Tequipy Pricing

By our estimate, a 150-person team pays Workwize $20,880 a year for seats and the platform fee, and Tequipy $5,532 for platform and services, a gap of $15,348. Workwize lists Basic at $8 a seat plus a $540 platform fee (October 2026); taking both as monthly figures, every extra hire costs $96 more a year. Ours stays $99 a month at any fleet size, and nothing up to 100 devices. Quipteams has no platform fee but quotes each device and retrieval, so price a real order. Optional HRIS sync is $199 a month. Enter your own headcount to compare.

Where Tequipy Shines

• Retail price, with the margin still there: Tequipy buys hardware in volume from 600+ authorized resellers below the price you see, and that is where most of its margin comes from. Services are the smaller part.
• A person and a platform: the shared Slack channel means a missed enrolment or a late courier reaches someone who can act the same day.
• Proof for a vendor review: ISO 27001 certification, a chain-of-custody record per laptop, and Blancco-certified wipes, or a certificate of destruction if you need one.

Where Tequipy Falls Short

• Few native HRIS integrations: HiBob, BambooHR and Workday today. A REST API covers other systems, and the team often builds a connection on request.
• SOC 2 is not finished yet: we are still in the audit. Raise it on a demo call to hear where it stands. ISO 27001 is held today, with penetration test reports on request.
• No leasing: Tequipy sells every device outright at retail price, with no lease or finance option in any country. For devices off the balance sheet, Workwize's rental option suits that need better, though Workwize does not publish its rental terms.

Tequipy Customer Reviews

Tequipy holds 4.9 from 4 on G2 (October 2026), too few reviews to call a pattern. Case studies say more. Lisa Kiseleva, People Operations Specialist at Gigs, which hires across 20 countries, says: "Whether it's the US, Europe, or the UK, they make the whole process feel local and seamless" (the Gigs case study).

Who Tequipy Is Best For

• Globally distributed teams: a company hiring in three countries, fifteen, or more pays from one price list and follows one process in all of them.
• Teams making a first hire abroad: the day someone signs in a country where you have no entity and no supplier, ordering from home stops working. Booksy tested Tequipy in Latin America first, then moved other regions over.
• Teams that get little notice: "It's Thursday and someone starts Monday" is how one buyer described the problem. Next-day delivery is available in the UK and across Europe.

{{cta-primary}}

What Does Each Vendor Charge in a Month When Nobody Joins or Leaves?

Workwize charges the full seat and platform fee, which costs the same in fees whether or not you use the services it covers. Quipteams charges nothing except storage on used devices, from $35 a device a month. Tequipy costs nothing for up to 100 devices and a flat $99 a month above that, at any fleet size, plus $12 a month for each stored laptop.

Can Quipteams Place Orders From Your HR System the Way Workwize Does?

Yes, for the systems it supports. Quipteams names Rippling, Workday, BambooHR, HiBob, Deel, Gusto and Personio, plus a public API. Workwize claims more than 100 HRIS integrations. Check that your own HR system is on the list and that a new hire really starts an order.

Do Workwize and Quipteams Buy Laptops Inside the Employee's Country?

Partly. Quipteams sources from resellers inside each destination country. Workwize mixes 14 warehouses, a supplier network and cross-border shipping, depending on the country. Tequipy buys every order inside the employee's country, in 180+ countries, through 600+ authorized resellers.

Can You Stop Using Workwize or Quipteams Partway Through a Year?

It depends on the vendor. Quipteams asks for no contract and charges no exit fee, terms Tequipy shares, so you can stop after any order. Workwize does not publish its contract length; ask before signing, because its seat fee runs every month whether or not you use the services.

How Long Does a Leaver's Laptop Take to Come Back With Each?

It differs by vendor. Quipteams says most pickups finish in 5 to 10 business days. Workwize claims a 30-day average global retrieval cycle. Both depend on how fast the leaver answers, so ask each vendor what happens when the employee stops replying.
