    Additional Details—Procore charges an upfront annual fee by product and based upon Annual Construction Volume (ACV) - the aggregate dollar value of the construction work across the customer's projects. Procore contracts include access for unlimited users, customer support, unlimited data storage, and product enhancements, at no additional cost. Multi-year pools: Contract volume is set for the entire multi-year term and can be consumed at any time during that period to help smooth out variability in consumption. Volume opt-in: Up-front contractual pricing is put in place for additional volume that might need to be added mid-term, to increase predictability of costs. Renewal rate protection: Up-front setting of rates is locked now, so businesses can budget accordingly for future renewals and improve cost predictability in future years.

    I have only used Autodesk Build at work. Compared to Procore which I have recently been introduced to, Autodesk Build has a more modern look and accessibility features. I can not give an in-depth review between the two products as I do not spend a lot of time using Procore.

    Procore and PlanGrid are the most direct competitors. The pricing structures are very dynamically different between PlanGrid and Procore. Procore tends to succeed better in the "project management" realm, while PlanGrid succeeds far beyond Procore in its ability to deal with …

    Chose Autodesk Build
    PlanGrid is very similar to Procore but offers a slightly more straightforward user interface and seems not to be loaded with extra options that rarely would get used like Procore. PlanGrid is a much smoother software than Submittal Exchange or CMiC due to that same interface. …

    Chose Autodesk Build
    Compared on pricing, PlanGrid was best. Procore does submittals and pay apps, but GoBridgit was completely unrealistic in price for us to consider them. The overall use of PlanGrid along with current pricing makes it worthwhile for us. If pricing goes up, it would no longer be …

    Plangrid would sit in between these two when it comes to mobile job site collaboration and document management. Procore is more a full-featured product but it is 2X-3X the cost and there is some question whether the extra costs actual turns in to an ROI at the end of the day. …

    PlanGrid is an easier system to use then Procore; however, Procore offers more of a full management software than PlanGrid does with plan distribution.

    Procore is a web-based service and is very slow. While PlanGrid updates and is not web based it is much quicker. PlanGrid is also much easier to use.

    Chose Autodesk Build
    PlanGrid provides the perfect balance of simplicity and accuracy. As I've noted, Procore is more robust but the learning curve is steep, and, for my company, the majority of features would go unused (and thus would be a waste of money). PlanGrid offers a few solid features and …

    Bluebeam and PlanGrid work great together, not sure one could replace the other. Bluebeam is really great for more detailed markups, better than PlanGrid in that respect. When you zoom out on the markups for PlanGrid, markups get really thick and unreadable.

    For me, Procore is …

    BlueBeam is a program that some of our customers use as their management tool. It is a little more cumbersome than Plan Grid. We would certainly prefer using PlanGrid over other products that we have tried. Our field staff prefers to have a consistent platform to share the …

    They have similar platforms and uses. At this time we use both because General Contractors require we use some of these programs to work on their projects, and we don't have a choice which one we use. It's tough because we then have multiple platforms to learn, manage and use …

    Since Procore attempts to be an all-in-one solution, it comes with more capability than just about any other system we have seen or used. However, that does not always mean it is better. Using PlanGrid as an example, Procore's plan viewing is inferior to the more professional …

    We selected Procore because it manages to have the benefits of many programs on a single platform on both PC and mobile devices regardless of the number of users. It is also safe and reliable for informational use in the design and construction industry.
