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.

InEight

  • A wide set of separate modules, including Control, Contract, Estimate, Schedule, Document and Model, so a working setup means choosing several
  • Prices are not published; enterprise deals are custom and per-user purchasing goes through a separate portal
  • Built for capital projects in construction, energy and mining rather than general project work

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.

InEight: How much does InEight cost?

InEight pricing is not published online. Enterprise pricing is determined through consultation with the sales team based on number of users, products selected, and contract length. Per-user pricing for the InEight NOW product allows monthly and annual billing options, but exact figures require contacting sales.

Yes, entries are captured offline and synchronised later. Test it with photos attached on your worst site, because that is where sync problems appear.
