- Not for you if you want a clear trial, as none has terms on the page
- Watch out: regional sites exist, so products and prices may differ outside the US
- Watch out: pricing may be by user, project or account, so quotes are hard to compare
Pick ProjectSight if
- Fits if you run up to 3 small construction jobs and need RFIs and punch lists
- Works for contractors whose accounting runs on Vista or Spectrum
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you have more than 3 projects and will not pay, as the free plan stops there

- Not for you if you need budgets, change orders or BIM, which sit on Enterprise
- Watch out: Enterprise is described for 30 or more users and is quoted individually, and the $29 price is the US and Canada one

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
