The short answer

A crane crew member needs to get signals to the whole crew while the crane moves. OperatorLink shows STOP, HOLD and SLOW to the crew and passes button presses, chat and voice between phones in a browser [1]. Voxer's Personal plan is free for individuals [2]. The facts gathered for TASSTA are cited in the table below, and they are not repeated here. The cited facts for TASSTA and Voxer say nothing about signals on a jobsite, so a crew with that need should check both directly before a shift.

What TASSTA and Voxer are built for

The facts gathered for TASSTA for this page are given in the table below, because this page cites no TASSTA fact outside the table. Those facts, read cold, do not describe how TASSTA handles signals, stops or voice on a jobsite, so this page does not say what it does for those jobs. The cited Voxer facts describe a Personal plan that is free for individuals [2]. That fact does not describe how Voxer handles signals on a jobsite either. A crew comparing TASSTA and Voxer should read the facts in the table, keep them to what each quote says, and ask each provider directly about signal handling on a jobsite.

What OperatorLink is built for

OperatorLink is made by the team that publishes this site. For a crane crew member, it shows STOP, HOLD and SLOW to the jobsite crew, and passes button presses, chat and voice between phones in a browser [1]. A STOP releases every held direction on every phone and shows a full-screen alert to everyone else [1]. HOLD and SLOW stay on for everyone in the jobsite and are cleared when the last person leaves [1]. Holding a move button keeps sending that move to the other phones, and if the move stops arriving for 2 seconds, the other phones drop it [1]. One-tap messages such as Go Ahead, Copy That and All Clear are sent as chat [1]. Anyone who joins can take part in a voice call run from the phone browser [1].

Pricing and fees

Voxer's Personal plan is free for individuals [2]. The facts gathered for Voxer also describe a 14-day free trial for business [3], and that fact is cited in the table below. The facts gathered for this page do not give a Voxer business price after the trial, so that price is not published here. The TASSTA facts gathered for this page give no price of any kind, so no TASSTA price is published here beyond the table, whose own-fee cell reads not published. OperatorLink is currently free to use, and no paid plan is built yet [1]. The card fee is not published for any option. A crew that expects to pay a card fee should ask each provider for it before choosing.

Setting it up on a jobsite

OperatorLink runs in a phone browser with no app install [1]. The person who starts a jobsite shares a link or QR code, and the crew joins from it [1]. Phones can add the app to their home screen as a standalone app [1]. A jobsite link stops working 12 hours after the first person joins [1], and a jobsite with nobody in it is wiped after 3 idle hours [1]. Button presses, chat and voice pass between phones in the browser [1]. For TASSTA and Voxer, the facts gathered here do not describe how a crew is added, how signals pass, or how a jobsite is started, so the crew should confirm those steps with each provider directly before a shift.

Things to check before you choose

Which signals does the crew need on a jobsite, and how will you test that each tool passes them before a lift? On Android browsers a signal such as STOP makes the phone buzz, but iPhone Safari ignores the buzz, so check whether a buzz alert matters for your crew [1]. Which phones does the crew use, and do all of them keep a browser open for the whole shift? Does a jobsite link that stops working 12 hours after the first person joins suit your shifts? How long a shift does the crew run, so that a jobsite wiped after 3 idle hours is not an interruption? What will Voxer cost after its 14-day business trial [3], and which plan would the crew need?

How to choose

If the crew needs a stop that reaches every phone, OperatorLink's sources describe a STOP that releases every held direction and shows a full-screen alert to everyone else [1]. If the crew needs HOLD and SLOW to stay on for everyone until the jobsite empties, OperatorLink's sources describe that as well [1]. If the crew needs a free start with no paid plan, OperatorLink is currently free to use [1], and Voxer's Personal plan is free for individuals [2]. If the crew wants a tool described in the table whose cited facts say nothing about signals, check TASSTA and Voxer directly against the crew's own needs. A crew that needs signal handling should weigh these choices, because the cited facts for TASSTA and Voxer say nothing about signals.
