The report card
Best for field task lists and plan viewing on small jobs
Fieldwire puts plans, tasks, punch lists and photos on a phone for the job site. The Basic plan stops at 5 users, 3 projects and 100 sheets, and the useful parts cost $39 to $89 a user a month.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D | Pro is $39 a user a month, where the dearest tenth of project tools starts, and RFIs and submittals need Business Plus at $89. |
| Free plan and trial | C | Basic is free for up to 5 users, 3 projects and 100 sheets. That is enough to try a job, then you will hit the caps. |
| Features | C | Plan viewing, tasks, punch lists, offline markups and forms are there. RFIs, submittals and change orders need the $89 plan, and custom forms need $64. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. Plans and sheets have to be loaded and set up first. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, iPhone and Android, with Box and Dropbox links. No desktop app is listed. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Field teams that want drawings and tasks on a phone or tablet
- Small contractors trying the free Basic plan
- General contractors who want RFIs and change orders in the same tool as field tasks
Worth knowing
- Basic is limited to 5 users, 3 projects and 100 sheets.
- Custom forms and app integrations need Business at $64 per user / month; RFIs, submittals and change orders need Business Plus at $89.
- The pricing page shows the annual option by default; monthly prices are behind a toggle and are not in the page text.
- API access is offered only on custom contracts of $5,000 and up, along with SSO.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
