Contractor Foreman vs JobSight (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Contractor Foreman if

• Fits if you're a small general contractor who wants Gantt schedules, daily logs and change orders
• Works for builders who bill on AIA progress invoices and track retainage

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you only need dispatch and invoicing, since most of what you'd pay for is construction tools
• Tight if you're a crew of four, as Standard stops at 3 users and Plus is $166 a month
• Not for you if you want local material prices, which Basic and Standard leave out
• Watch out: Basic is sold on yearly billing only, $588 a year, and Standard is $139 billed monthly
• Watch out: the 100-day money-back guarantee covers only yearly Plus and up; monthly plans get 30 days

Pick JobSight if

• Fits if you keep a daily log with photos and voice notes on a few jobs
• Works for a small crew that wants simple invoicing off those logs

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you need scheduling, dispatch or accounting links, none of which are listed
• Tight if you stay free: 3 projects, 5 members and 1GB
• Not for you if you want an App Store app, since it is a browser-installed web app
• Watch out: the pricing page does not say whether $29 and $79 are monthly or annual rates
• Pricey if you need the API, SSO or white labelling, which sit on Growth at $79 through sales

Contractor Foreman

• It is built around construction projects, so a service trade that only needs dispatch and invoicing gets many tools it will not use.
• Basic covers 1 user and is sold only on yearly billing; the next steps are 3, 8, 15 and unlimited users.
• Local material pricing from 1build is not included on Basic or Standard.
• The 100-day money-back guarantee applies to yearly Plus, Pro and Unlimited plans; monthly plans get 30 days.

JobSight

• The pricing page does not say whether $29 and $79 are monthly-billed or annual rates; it only says annual saves 15-20%.
• The Free plan stops at 3 projects and 5 team members; Pro caps teams at 15.
• API access, SSO and white labeling are on Growth, which is sold through sales.
• There are no native iOS or Android apps listed; mobile use is through a browser-installed web app.
