How to choose

Which engineering workflows does it need to handle?

Match the tool to the work you need to run: RFI management, submittal workflows and change order tracking are listed comparison points.

Check how document control and project budget tracking fit your existing process before switching tools.

Which platforms does it need to run on?

Web access is available across the board, while mobile support varies between iOS and Android apps.

Check for an API when the software must connect with other systems, and confirm desktop support if your team uses Windows or macOS.

What price and trial options should you compare?

Pricing ranges from free plans to paid subscriptions, with listed examples such as BuildBook's paid plan from $79 per user per month on annual billing, Contractor Foreman's from $49 per user per month on annual billing, and Planroom's from $149 per month.

Some products list trials, including BuildBook's 10-day trial and Contractor Foreman's 30-day trial; pricing on request is shown for products such as Archdesk and Procore.

How should project limits affect the choice?

Project limit is a comparison field, so check the limit against the number and type of projects your team manages.

Review the same limit alongside budget tracking, document control and change-order needs rather than treating price as the sole filter.
