    Additional DetailsProcore 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.As a cloud-based solution, our clients can scale their access annually depending on the number of users. Subcontractors invited to bid or prequalify in the system receive access at no cost.

    Chose Procore
    Procore is better all around to navigate.
    It would be very nice to have the option to preview drawings when invited as a subcontractor during preconstruction. I think the other 2 mentioned above have that. With Procore you have to download the entire package.

    Chose Procore
    Out of the 4 programs I could think of off the top of my head, Procore is dead last. iSqFt is one step above Procore with their slow download and upload speeds. When I am asked to look at plans on Procore, I go out of my way to find the info some other way, usually on a …

    ProCore encompasses the benefits of multiple programs but is rolled into one.

    - Procore is several steps above Sage PJ in terms of a project management software.

    - Procore's drawing tool is very comparable to PlanGrid, however it still has a few tweaks that need to be made before it is at the same level. Specifically as it relates to the speed of …

    Chose Procore
    Procore was tested against many of the programs we were either currently looking into or tempted to purchase. After a long 12 weeks journey of rotating software's that were out there we found that Procore really combined all of them together in an ease of access way. With many …

    Procore is easier to use than Unifier but is very comparable to Newforma both in cost and project management functionality.

    SmartBid is by far the most aesthetically pleasing of the software I've used in the field. It is incredibly competitive in terms of price and ease-of-use and is one of my favorites to use. I use SmartBid as well as other programs, but SmartBid is always one of my first choices.
