Buildertrend pricing isn’t published in 2026. Its pricing page asks for a custom quote, and its FAQ says the quote is based on your builder type, annual revenue and business needs. The last public tier prices, as reported by competitor Projul, ran from about $499 to $1,099 US a month on month-to-month billing in late 2024, so most builders should expect a quote in the hundreds of dollars a month, and more as revenue grows.
That’s the short answer. Below is what goes into the quote, what the old tiers included, the costs that aren’t in the headline number, and how Buildertrend compares with tools that do publish a price. Buildertrend’s own pages were checked in November 2026; the historical prices come from third parties and are labelled as such.
How much does Buildertrend cost?
As of November 2026, Buildertrend’s pricing page shows no plans or numbers. What it does say:
- Pricing is a custom quote, tailored to your builder type, annual revenue and needs.
- Unlimited users and unlimited projects, so your cost doesn’t rise per seat as the team grows.
- A limited-time offer of 10% off when you pay upfront for an annual plan.
- Billing is annual or quarterly, according to its quote form.
- Free personalized demos instead of a free trial, plus daily virtual training and a 24/7 help centre.
So the honest answer to “how much is Buildertrend?” is: you won’t know until a sales rep tells you. The rest of this page helps you guess the range and check the quote.
What drives your Buildertrend quote
Buildertrend’s quote form asks for your annual revenue in brackets, which tells you revenue is a main input:
| Revenue bracket on the quote form | What it likely means for you |
|---|---|
| $0 to $499K | Smallest bracket; expect the lowest quote, but still a full platform price |
| $500K to $4.99M | Most residential remodellers and small custom builders |
| $5M to $10.99M | Established builders with several projects running at once |
| $11M to $30.99M | Larger builders; more room to negotiate on term and add-ons |
| $31M+ | Enterprise-style pricing |
Builder type (custom home, remodel, specialty contractor) and which features you want also shape the quote. Houzz, a competitor, describes Buildertrend as charging by annual project volume. Either way, the takeaway is the same: as your business grows, expect your Buildertrend price to grow with it, even though users are unlimited.
Ask the rep which inputs set your price (revenue bracket, builder type, modules) and what happens to the price at renewal if your revenue moves up a bracket.
Buildertrend’s last published prices
Buildertrend used to publish three tiers. Competitor Projul, in a pricing analysis it updated in October 2026, lists the late-2024 prices below and says the tiers were removed in early 2025 in favour of quotes.
| Tier (late 2024, per Projul) | Month-to-month | Annual (per month) |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | $499 | $449 |
| Advanced | $799 | $719 |
| Complete | $1,099 | $989 |
Other third-party sites quote lower figures for the same tiers (for example about $339, $499 and $829), likely from earlier years or discounts. None of these numbers come from Buildertrend today, so treat them as a rough range, not a price.
If you’re quoted, ask which features your package includes and compare it with the demo you saw. The old tiers locked more features to the higher levels, and a quote may do the same.
What’s included
Buildertrend is a full construction project management platform. Depending on your package, it covers:
| Area | Typical features |
|---|---|
| Project management | Schedules, daily logs, to-dos, change orders, photos and files |
| Client experience | Client portal, selections, warranty requests, messaging |
| Financials | Estimates, bids, budgets, purchase orders, invoices, accounting integrations |
| Sales | Lead tracking, proposals |
| Team | Unlimited users and projects, sub and vendor access, mobile app |
Confirm exactly which modules your quote includes. A cheaper quote may simply leave out the financial or sales tools you were shown in the demo.
Costs to ask about
The subscription isn’t the only line. Ask about each of these before you sign:
- Onboarding. Projul reported in December 2024 that Buildertrend’s guided onboarding was free on annual plans and $100 a month on monthly plans. Other blogs mention one-time onboarding fees. Buildertrend doesn’t publish this, so ask.
- Contract term. Annual or quarterly billing, and whether you can cancel mid-term.
- Renewal increases. Review summaries on G2, GetApp and Capterra that we saw in search results mention frustration with price increases at renewal. Projul claims some customers saw large increases in 2022. Ask for a renewal cap in writing.
- Payment processing. Buildertrend lists payments as billed per transaction. Get the rate for cards and bank transfers.
- Add-ons and integrations. Anything not in your package, and any third-party tools you’ll still need to pay for.
Buildertrend pricing vs alternatives
Here’s Buildertrend next to tools that publish a price, checked on each company’s own site in November 2026 (USD unless stated):
| Software | Published price | Users | Trial |
|---|---|---|---|
| Buildertrend | Custom quote; ~$499 to $1,099/mo in late 2024 per Projul | Unlimited | ✕ Demo only |
| JobTread | $199/mo monthly, 1 internal user | +$20/mo each for users 2 to 10 (monthly) | 30-day money-back on monthly |
| Contractor Foreman | Basic $49/mo (annual, 1 user); Standard $139/mo monthly | Plans by user band | ✓ 30 days |
| Contruva | $249.99 CAD / US$179.99 a month, one plan | No per-seat fees | ✓ 7 days, no card |
A worked example for a six-person remodelling company on monthly billing: JobTread is $199 plus five extra users at $20, so $299 a month or $3,588 a year. Buildertrend’s old Essential price would have been $499 a month, or $5,988 a year, with users unlimited. If your office is large, Buildertrend’s unlimited users narrow that gap.
Contruva is our product, and it isn’t a Buildertrend replacement for long custom builds. There’s no selections portal, Gantt-style project schedule, bid management or AIA billing. It suits trades and small remodellers who mainly need the work around the job: an AI receptionist that books calls, quotes with e-signature and deposits, scheduling with a crew app and job costing, and invoices and card payments. For a full list of project-management options, see Buildertrend alternatives.
Is Buildertrend worth the price?
It can be. Buildertrend is worth it when you run several long projects at once with clients making selections, subs to coordinate and budgets to track, and when the time saved on admin and change orders outweighs a four-figure monthly bill at the top end. It’s often not worth it for a small trade crew doing many short jobs, who end up paying for project tools they don’t use.
| You’re likely a fit if… | You’re likely overpaying if… |
|---|---|
| You build custom homes or big renovations | Most jobs take a day or a week |
| Clients make selections and approve changes online | You mainly need quotes, scheduling and invoices |
| You coordinate many subs and suppliers per project | Your problem is missed calls and slow follow-up |
| Several office staff will use it daily | One or two people will log in |
