Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 14 of the 149 other project management tools we grade
Procore is a cloud construction management platform for owners, general contractors and specialty contractors. It covers project execution, cost management, resource management and project life cycle management, with construction-specific AI agents. Contracts are priced per product by annual construction volume, and the price is quoted by sales.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about Procore, taken from its own pages and our grades.
But no price is published, the fee is set from your annual construction volume after a sales call, and nothing free is listed.
- 1
Best for large construction firms with a sales call to spare
Procore covers construction project work, from cost management to resources, with unlimited users and storage in the contract.
- 2
It runs on 3 platforms
Web, iOS and Android.
- 3
Project execution
One platform connecting office and site, from preconstruction to closeout.
- 4
Cost management
Project financials and budgets in one system of record.
- 5
Resource management
Crews, hours and equipment can be planned in one place.
- 6
A 2.0 GPA, above 14 of 149
That is against the other project management tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 7
Keep it
Nothing Procore does is plain enough to make in a weekend. The 4 things listed below take a company.

The report card
Best for large construction firms with a sales call to spare
Procore covers construction project work, from cost management to resources, with unlimited users and storage in the contract. But no price is published, the fee is set from your annual construction volume after a sales call, and nothing free is listed.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No price is published. The annual fee is set per product from your yearly construction volume, so one person cannot compare it with the category's $9 middle. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan and no trial on the pages read. |
| Features | B | Project execution, cost management, resource management and AI, with an App Marketplace. Nothing in the listing shows a gap in the core work. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. A product this wide needs setup and training. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, iPhone and Android, with an App Marketplace of add-ons. 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 Procore is for
- Fits if you run a construction firm and want one contract with unlimited users
- Works for teams that want cost control and project work in one place
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want a price before talking to sales, as none is published
- Not for you if you are a small team, as the fee follows your annual construction volume
- Watch out: the Field Productivity product is priced on full-time employees, not construction volume
- Watch out: there is no free plan or trial on the pages read
Good to know
Good for
- General contractors, specialty contractors and owners who want one system across a project
- Companies that want to add every subcontractor and vendor without per-user fees

Worth knowing
- No price is published: an upfront annual fee is set per product from the company's annual construction volume, and a quote comes from sales.
- Contracts include unlimited users, storage and support, so there is no per-seat charge.
- The Field Productivity product is priced on full-time employees rather than construction volume.
- No free plan or trial is listed on the pages read.

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
Nothing Procore does is plain enough to make in a weekend. The 4 things listed below take a company.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 112 of the 149 other project management tools grade higher.
What you could not
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- An API that other software can build on.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Procore’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.
