The short version
- Only Dalux has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: Assignar it is built for contractors who own crews and plant, so a general contractor coordinating subcontractors gets little from it beyond its own self-perform scopes.; Dalux no pricing is published for any paid module, so comparing Dalux against Procore or Autodesk Construction Cloud on cost requires entering a sales process and waiting for a quote you cannot benchmark.
- They diverge on capability: Assignar covers Crew and equipment scheduling, Dalux covers Mobile BIM viewer.
- Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

What people use each for
The jobs each tool is most often brought in to do.
Assignar
- A civil contractor scheduling crews and plant across multiple sites from one dispatch boardnot Dalux
- A concrete or earthworks subcontractor replacing paper dockets that arrive three days latenot Dalux
- A contractor that must prove operator competency and induction status on regulated sitesnot Dalux
- A self-perform contractor comparing actual crew hours against estimated production ratesnot Dalux
Dalux
- A Nordic main contractor wants every subcontractor raising and closing snags in one system without paying a seat fee for each trade, so the free Field Basic tier carries the supply chain.not Assignar
- An engineering consultancy needs site staff to interrogate a federated model on a phone in a basement with no signal, where a browser-based viewer would be useless.not Assignar
- A public asset owner wants the as-built model and asset register to survive handover into an FM system rather than arriving as a pallet of ring binders.not Assignar
- A rail or highways contractor needs quality records located by chainage along a route rather than by level and grid on a building floor plan, which is what InfraField exists for.not Assignar
Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Assignar
- It is built for contractors who own crews and plant, so a general contractor coordinating subcontractors gets little from it beyond its own self-perform scopes.
- It is not an accounting or payroll system, so the value depends on a clean integration to your finance system and on someone owning the reconciliation when hours disagree.
- Australian origins show in terminology and compliance defaults, and North American users spend setup time translating concepts such as tickets and inductions into local equivalents.
- Offline capture works, but photo-heavy forms on poor connections remain the weak point and should be tested on your worst site before a full rollout.
- Supervisors have to maintain the schedule for the reporting to mean anything, and dispatchers used to a whiteboard resist that for months unless the change is enforced.
Dalux
- No pricing is published for any paid module, so comparing Dalux against Procore or Autodesk Construction Cloud on cost requires entering a sales process and waiting for a quote you cannot benchmark.
- There is no cost management, estimating, budgeting or payment application functionality, so commercial teams keep a separate system and someone reconciles the two by hand.
- The integration catalogue is thin next to the American incumbents, and ERP or finance connections generally mean custom work through the API rather than a listed connector.
- Support, documentation and product terminology are strongest in Danish and Northern European construction conventions, and teams working to AIA or other North American contract norms will find the workflows do not map cleanly.
- The free tier is deliberately limited: Field Basic has no checklists, no document control and no reporting, so the free users your subcontractors get are consumers of information rather than participants in a controlled process, and upgrading them is a paid conversation.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Assignar: Is this for general contractors or subcontractors?
Speciality and self-perform contractors. The unit of work is a crew and a machine on a shift, which is not how a general contractor coordinates trades.
Dalux: Is Dalux really free?
BIM Viewer and Field Basic are genuinely free with unlimited invited users. Dalux Box, the full Field product, InfraField, Handover, Tender and FM are paid and quoted privately.
Assignar: Does the mobile app work without signal?
Yes, entries are captured offline and synchronised later. Test it with photos attached on your worst site, because that is where sync problems appear.
Dalux: Does Dalux work offline on site?
Yes. Models, drawings and snags sync to the device and the mobile apps are built to work in basements and lift shafts, syncing when signal returns.
Assignar: Does it handle payroll?
No. It captures hours and quantities and passes them to your payroll or enterprise resource planning system.
Dalux: Can Dalux replace Procore?
Not on the commercial side. It covers field quality, safety, documents and handover, but has no cost control, budgets or payment applications.
Dalux: Is it available outside Europe?
It is sold globally and the apps are multilingual, but the customer base, partner network and support hours are centred on Northern Europe.
