The report card
Best for daily reports for contractors with a crew
Raken does daily reports and time tracking for construction crews. Both plans have a 3-user minimum, time tracking, production, safety and RFIs are only on Performance at $59, and there is no trial on the page.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D | Basic is $23 a user with a 3-user minimum, $69 a month floor, and the useful time and safety parts sit on Performance at $59, the dearest tenth. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan and the pricing page mentions no trial. |
| Features | C | Daily reports on Basic. Time tracking, production tracking, safety and quality and RFIs are Performance only. |

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 Raken you could make: time tracking, tasks and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 5 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 143 of the 149 other project management tools grade higher. It costs $276 a year.
What you could make
- Time tracking, tasks and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Clocking in from a phone, checked against where and when.
- Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
- 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, Procore, QuickBooks and Sage 300 among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. Raken’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.
