A 15-person electrical sub calls Procore for a quote and finds out the price isn’t per user at all. It’s an annual fee set by your construction volume, and the only way to learn the number is a sales process. Third-party estimates run from about $10,000 to $60,000 a year. ServiceTitan is reported at $245 to $500 per technician per month, plus a $5,000 to $50,000 implementation fee before anyone’s logged a single hour. FieldEdge is $100 per office user and $125 per tech, plus a setup fee, and the subscription clock starts during the multi-week onboarding — before you’re actually using it.
None of that is a rip-off. It’s enterprise pricing, built for companies with a procurement department and a construction volume that makes a $30,000 annual software line item a rounding error. A specialty sub running one or two crews isn’t that company, and pricing built for one doesn’t fit the other.
What Enterprise Construction Software Actually Costs
Procore — an annual fee by product, based on your annual construction volume, with unlimited users. Quote-only, and no prices on their site. Third-party estimates put the typical cost at $10,000 to $60,000 a year, with annual increases reported most years. You call sales to find out where you land.
ServiceTitan — reported at $245 to $500 per technician per month, plus a $5,000 to $50,000 implementation fee before the platform is usable.
FieldEdge — reported at roughly $100 per office user and $125 per tech monthly, plus a $500 to $2,000 setup fee. Billing typically starts during the multi-week implementation and training process, not when you go live.
BuildOps — enterprise pricing, not published. Expect a sales process and a custom contract before you see a number at all.
None of these companies are hiding the ball to be dishonest — enterprise software sells through a sales team, and a sales team needs a conversation to price a deal. The problem for a small shop is that the whole model — annual contracts, implementation fees, quote-only pricing — is built around companies large enough to justify that sales motion. A 12-person crew doesn’t need a sales call. It needs a number.
The Exceptions: Knowify and Contractor Foreman
Worth being straight about this — Knowify doesn’t fit the pattern above. It starts around $99 to $149 a month plus roughly $10 per user, no sales call required. For a very small shop, Knowify can come in cheaper than LogLoon at the entry level. If billing and estimating are the whole problem, it’s a real option and worth a look.
Contractor Foreman is the other one. Its all-in-one plans start at $49 a month for one user and run to $332 a month for unlimited users, billed annually, with no sales call needed. It’s a genuinely low-cost option, and the honest side-by-side is here.
Where LogLoon differs isn’t being cheaper than every competitor at every crew size — it’s what happens as the crew grows, and what’s not on the bill.
What LogLoon Actually Charges
Free — $0/month, up to 5 users, 1 active project. No credit card, no sales call, no setup.
Pro — $15/user/month. Unlimited projects, unlimited reports, unlimited photos.
Pro Unlimited — $299/month flat, unlimited users. At 20 users, that’s under $15/user; at 40, it’s under $7.50/user — the price per person goes down as the crew grows, not up.
No setup fee. No implementation fee. No annual contract — pricing is public on the website, sign up without talking to anyone, and cancel anytime. There’s also a 30-day guarantee: if the field crew doesn’t take to it or it doesn’t save time in the first month, LogLoon helps with the transition out and refunds the last payment.
What This Actually Means at a 15- to 20-Person Crew
Run the math at 20 users. Pro Unlimited is $299/month flat — $3,588/year. Procore is quote-only, and third-party estimates run $10,000 to $60,000 a year. ServiceTitan at the reported $245/tech/month for 20 techs is $58,800/year, plus a five-figure implementation fee on top. FieldEdge lands somewhere in between, plus its own setup fee and a billing clock that starts before you’re live.
That’s not a small gap. It’s the difference between a software line item a 15-person shop can approve without a second thought, and one that needs a controller’s sign-off and a multi-year commitment to justify.
What’s the Catch?
There isn’t one, and it’s worth saying plainly because contractors who’ve been burned by enterprise software pricing ask this exact question. LogLoon isn’t priced low as a bait-and-switch into a bigger contract later — the pricing page is the pricing, no sales call required to see it, and there’s no annual commitment holding anyone in past the point it’s not working. The same philosophy that keeps setup minutes instead of weeks applies to the contract: nothing about running your own field management system should require the buying process of an enterprise platform.
