The free Go plan includes 5 credits for estimates and proposals. Foundation, the first paid plan, is $199 a month, or $2,030 a year on annual billing. The pricing page lists schedules, job management and the Onsite mobile app starting on Pro. Pro is $399 a month, or $4,070 a year. Master, at $599 a month or $6,110 a year, is the only plan that includes all the Blu assistants. Annual plans need a 12-month commitment. So a small builder who wants the field app pays Pro rates.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"at-a-glance\">Buildxact alternatives at a glance<\/h2>\n<div class=\"sw-cmp\">\n<table class=\"sw-cmp__table\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>App<\/th>\n<th>Best for<\/th>\n<th>Plan takeoff or plan reading<\/th>\n<th>Price<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr class=\"sw-cmp__us\">\n<td><strong>SimplyWise Cost Estimator<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Builders who need the estimate fast<\/td>\n<td>Yes, blueprint reader plus photo estimates<\/td>\n<td>$29.99\/mo or $239.99\/yr<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>JobTread<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>One system with job costing<\/td>\n<td>Yes, takeoff<\/td>\n<td>$199 a month billed monthly<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Buildertrend<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Builders running 5+ projects a year<\/td>\n<td>Yes, takeoff<\/td>\n<td>From $499 a month<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Houzz Pro<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Remodelers who sell with 3D plans<\/td>\n<td>Yes, on Pro<\/td>\n<td>$99 a month listed (Design)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Contractor Foreman<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Small GCs on a budget<\/td>\n<td>Yes, from Pro<\/td>\n<td>$49 a month on annual<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Clear Estimates<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Pricing from a line item database<\/td>\n<td>Plan uploads on Pro<\/td>\n<td>$59 a month on annual<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>STACK<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Estimators who live in takeoff<\/td>\n<td>Yes, core product<\/td>\n<td>Free version; paid from $299 a month per user<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>BuildBook<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Custom builders and client experience<\/td>\n<td>Not on pricing page<\/td>\n<td>$79 a month on annual<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Buildern<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Growing builders with an office team<\/td>\n<td>Yes, on Professional<\/td>\n<td>$225 a month billed annually<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Procore<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Larger homebuilders<\/td>\n<td>Yes, in Procore Estimating<\/td>\n<td>Custom quote<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"pm__inline-cta\">If the estimate is your bottleneck, try the <a href=\"https:\/\/swcostestimator.app.link\/ce-ai\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">SimplyWise Cost Estimator<\/a>.
