A Buildertrend alternative with the price on the page
Buildertrend is a full construction platform for established builders, and its price is a custom quote you get after a call with its team. JobSiteCore publishes every plan’s price, starts smaller crews on smaller plans, and drafts quotes with AI on every plan. Here is where each one fits.
Every Buildertrend fact on this page was checked on Buildertrend’s own site on September 26, 2026.
Which one fits
Pick Buildertrend if…
- You oversee 5+ projects a year or run complex, multi-phase builds — the builder its own pricing page describes[1].
- You want unlimited users on one subscription. Buildertrend includes unlimited users in its pricing[1]; JobSiteCore includes unlimited seats on Business and Enterprise, and a set number of seats on the smaller plans.
- You want a subcontractor portal without choosing a plan for it. Buildertrend lists its Sub Portal and says every feature is included[1]; JobSiteCore’s subcontractor portal is on Business.
Pick JobSiteCore if…
- You want to see the price before you talk to anyone. Every JobSiteCore plan is priced on /pricing, with its seats and limits.
- You are a smaller shop or a trade contractor. Plans start at 2 seats, and your company is set up for your trade — electrical, roofing, concrete and more, each with a priced price book.
- You want an AI draft of a quote from a voice note, a photo, or a supplier’s quote, on every plan.

Pricing snapshot (September 26, 2026)
- Buildertrend does not publish a price. Its pricing page asks you to answer a few questions and then schedule a call with its team to review a customized quote; its FAQ says pricing is tailored to your business and recommends scheduling a demo. It advertises unlimited users and 10% off when you pay annually upfront[1].
- JobSiteCore publishes every plan’s monthly and annual price, with the seats each plan includes, on /pricing.
Moving over from Buildertrend
- Keep your records. Before you cancel anything, export what you need to keep from Buildertrend and hold on to it.
- Customers and jobs. There is no self-serve importer for a customer list today. Customers and jobs are created as you quote them, so most shops start with their open and upcoming work.
- Estimates you already have. An AI draft can start from a photo or PDF of a supplier’s quote. On Business, an estimate PDF can be imported into a job with its customer, property and line items.
- Your team. Invite people one at a time, or upload a CSV of email, name and role.
