Short answer: iWell is a pumper app and reporting tool built for small and mid-size oil and gas operators. It gets daily gauges, run tickets and downtime off the lease, and it does that job. Where it stops is everything after the data lands: state reports outside Texas, named accounting hand-offs, setup done for you and proof the pumper was on the lease. GreaseBook covers those, and our petroleum engineers build the whole system before your first pumper logs in a gauge.
If you are on iWell today, you are probably not unhappy. You are just still keying numbers twice, chasing a state form at month end, or wondering if the pumper really drove out to the far lease on Saturday.
Is iWell or GreaseBook the Better Fit for My Operation?
It depends. If you operate only in Texas, are comfortable setting up wells and tanks yourself, and have someone to wire an API into accounting, iWell’s low list price can make sense. If you want the system built for you, state reports prepared for any producing state, named accounting integrations and geofenced pumper visits, GreaseBook fits better. As of October 2026, GreaseBook serves 600+ production companies and 10,000+ pumpers, and backs it with a 200% money-back guarantee. If you only need tank monitors, look at TinyPumper.
What Is iWell?
iWell is a cloud-based oilfield production data capture and reporting system at iwell.info, built around a pumper data-entry app. It is run by Designio LLC, which is the developer listed on its app store pages. iWell’s lineup has four products: iWell Pumper (the app), iWell Reports (dashboards and emailed reports), iWell Remote (wireless tank, pressure and stroke monitors) and iWell Connect (a REST API).
Do not confuse it with iwell the European clean-energy storage company, or with the iWell furniture brand. Same name, different businesses.
What Does iWell Do Well?
Credit where it is due. iWell is a modern product, not a dinosaur.
- A real pumper app. Pumpers enter tank, meter and pressure readings, run tickets with photos, compressor readings, injection and disposal readings, well tests and downtime on an iPhone, iPad, Android device or computer (iWell Pumper page, 2026).
- Fast alerts. Reports go out by text or email as soon as the pumper sends.
- Shared-tank allocation. iWell splits a shared tank’s production across wells and suggests allocation percentages from well tests (iWell help center, 2026).
- Entry checks. Validation rules catch fat-fingered gauges at the source.
- Low sticker shock. iWell lists no setup, training or support fees (iWell pricing page, July 2026).
- An API. iWell Connect lets a technical team push and pull data into other systems.
If your pain is “we’re still on paper,” iWell solves it.
Where Does iWell Stop?
The gaps show up after the gauge is entered.
- State reports. iWell documents a Texas RRC PR monthly report setting (iWell help center, 2026). Other states are not documented on its site. If you produce in Kansas, Oklahoma or Wyoming, ask them directly.
- Accounting. iWell Connect is a generic API with no named accounting connectors published (iWell Connect page, 2026). Somebody still has to build and maintain that bridge.
- Setup. Wells, tanks, allocations and validation rules are configured by your team, with past production loaded by CSV upload (iWell help center, 2026).
- Accountability. Nothing on iWell’s site says the app confirms the pumper was physically on the lease.
- App reviews. The iWell Pumper iOS app shows 3.5 out of 5 from 513 ratings (Apple App Store listing, July 2026), with reviews such as “Working fine yesterday. Today will not open.” For a pumper at the well at 6 a.m., an app that won’t open means a gauge written on a glove.
None of that makes iWell bad. It means the office is still doing work the software could do.
How Does GreaseBook Compare to iWell?
| iWell | GreaseBook | |
|---|---|---|
| Pumper app | iOS, Android and desktop (iWell Pumper page, 2026) | iOS and Android. 8-minute learning curve: if he can text, he can use it |
| Offline | iWell says no coverage is needed at the well (iWell LinkedIn page, 2026) | Works offline, syncs when back in range |
| Setup | Your team configures it; history by CSV upload (iWell help center, 2026) | Turnkey: our petroleum engineers build it, then scrub and import your history |
| Allocation | Shared-tank splits and suggested percentages from well tests (iWell help center, 2026) | Well tests and allocation by well and lease |
| State reports | Texas RRC PR report documented (iWell help center, 2026) | Prepared for any oil and gas producing state, ready for you to submit |
| Accounting | Generic REST API (iWell Connect page, 2026) | Integrates with PakEnergy (formerly WolfePak), OGsys, Bolo, SSI, P2 and PHDwin |
| Pumper accountability | Validation rules on entries | Geofencing confirms the visit; entries checked at the source |
| Remote monitors | iWell Remote, from $35 per monitor monthly (iWell pricing page, July 2026) | TinyPumper, our sister product: $349 a sensor, one time, then one flat rate a month per site, unlimited sensors |
| Pricing | iWell Pumper from a $55 monthly starting price; Reports included (iWell pricing page, July 2026) | Per well or per pumper, per month. Office users always free. Exact price on a 15-minute call |
| Risk reversal | 30-day test drive (iWell Pumper page, 2026) | 200% money-back guarantee after 6 weeks, plus a 30-day cold feet refund |
Where a cell says “documented” or “not published,” that is because iWell’s public site does not say more. Ask them before you decide.
When Is GreaseBook the Better Fit?
- You produce in more than one state, or not in Texas. GreaseBook prepares state production reports for any oil and gas producing state. If your form isn’t built yet, we build it at no cost, because if you need it, somebody else will too. You review and submit. More in our state production reports guide.
- You don’t have time to set it up. You send tank sizes, well names and pumper contacts. A petroleum engineer does the rest.
- You want the accounting side fed, not rebuilt. Clean production data flows into the accounting system you already pay for. Keep it. We don’t compete with it.
- You need to trust the numbers. Geofencing confirms the pumper stepped on the lease, and entries are checked as he types them.
- You run working-interest partners. Allocation by well and lease is where GreaseBook earns its keep. See production allocation software.
We are not the cheapest option out there. But an app the office still has to babysit is not cheap either.
What Does Switching From iWell Take?
Less than you think. Your whole job is handing us a login to your current system.
- Our petroleum engineers build your wells, tanks and surface equipment so pumpers can start entering data.
- Pumpers give feedback on their routes, and your supervisor signs off.
- Then we scrub, clean and backfill your historical production and records.
Most operators are fully rolled out within a week. Pumpers run it on the phones they already carry, so there is no new gear to buy. Still under contract? Our contract buyout program covers the months you have left, in exchange for a minimum one-year term plus those months.
Take the 30-second quiz to see if you're a fit. If you are, grab 15 minutes with a real production engineer and walk out with your exact price. Backed by our 200% money-back guarantee.
Take the QuizWhen Is iWell the Better Fit?
Where GreaseBook overshoots: a Texas-only operator with a few wells, someone in-house who likes configuring software, and a developer to wire the API may find iWell’s published price hard to beat. And if you don’t need a pumper app at all, only tank and pressure readings, neither product is the right first buy. Look at TinyPumper instead: radar on top of the tank, 8-minute self-install, 100% continental US coverage because we use satellite. Every well with a TinyPumper sensor gets free Greasebook.

Who This Page Is Not For
This page is not for operators who only want remote tank monitors with no pumper app, and not for Texas-only operators who are happy building their own setup and API. For the bigger picture, see our guide to oil production software and oil well monitoring systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is iWell?
iWell is a cloud-based oilfield production software system at iwell.info, built for small and mid-size oil and gas operators. Pumpers enter gauges, run tickets, well tests and downtime in the iWell Pumper app, and the office sees reports and alerts in iWell Reports. iWell also sells wireless tank and pressure monitors called iWell Remote, and a REST API called iWell Connect.
What is the best iWell alternative?
It depends on what is still eating your week. If your team is happy setting up wells and only files Texas reports, another simple pumper app may do. If you want the system built for you, state reports prepared for any producing state, named accounting integrations and geofenced pumper visits, GreaseBook is the stronger alternative, and it comes with a 200% money-back guarantee.
How much does iWell cost?
iWell lists a $55 monthly starting price for iWell Pumper, with iWell Reports included, and iWell Remote monitors from $35 per monitor monthly (iWell pricing page, July 2026). It also lists no setup, training or support fees. GreaseBook is priced per well or per pumper, per month, with office users always free, and you get your exact price on a 15-minute call.
Is iWell the same company as the iWell energy storage or furniture brands?
No. The oilfield iWell is the production software at iwell.info, run by Designio LLC. The iwell that sells clean-energy storage systems is a separate European company, and iWell furniture and storage cabinets are a separate consumer brand. If you searched for iWell UK or cabinet assembly instructions, you want one of those other companies, not this oilfield software.
Can I switch from iWell without losing my production history?
Yes. You hand us a login to your current system. Our petroleum engineers build your wells, tanks and surface equipment first, so pumpers can start entering data. After pumpers give route feedback and your supervisor signs off, we scrub, clean and backfill your history. Most operators are fully rolled out within a week, and our contract buyout program covers any months left on your old contract.
Does GreaseBook prepare state production reports outside Texas?
Yes. GreaseBook prepares state production reports for any oil and gas producing state, built from your pumpers’ data and ready for you to review and submit. On the rare chance your state’s form isn’t built yet, we build it at no cost to you. That matters if you produce outside Texas, where iWell’s site documents only the Texas RRC PR report.
