Best for field task lists and plan viewing on small jobs

Who Fieldwire is for
- Fits if you run 3 or fewer small jobs with up to 5 people
- Works for crews that mark up plans on a phone, offline
Who Fieldwire is not for
- Skip it if you want RFIs and submittals without paying $89 a user a month
- Pricey if you add seats, as Pro starts at $39 a user a month
- Tight if you have more than 3 projects or 100 sheets on Basic
- Watch out: API access and SSO come only with custom contracts of $5,000 and up

Keep Fieldwire, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Fieldwire you could make: tasks, forms and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 112 of the 149 other project management tools grade higher. It costs $468 a year.
What you could make
- Tasks, forms and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- It plugs into other products, Box and Dropbox among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. Fieldwire’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
