The short version

  • 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.; Sitemark it only does solar, so a mixed renewables portfolio still needs a second platform for wind, storage and substations, and the consolidation argument for buying it collapses.
  • They diverge on capability: Assignar covers Crew and equipment scheduling, Sitemark covers Construction progress tracking.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 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 Sitemark
  • A concrete or earthworks subcontractor replacing paper dockets that arrive three days latenot Sitemark
  • A contractor that must prove operator competency and induction status on regulated sitesnot Sitemark
  • A self-perform contractor comparing actual crew hours against estimated production ratesnot Sitemark

Sitemark

  • An EPC contractor on a multi-hundred-megawatt ground-mount plant that must report weekly installed counts to a lender and cannot do it by walking the rowsnot Assignar
  • An asset owner accepting a plant at provisional acceptance who needs documented evidence that what was built matches the issued design before signingnot Assignar
  • An operations team running annual thermographic inspection across a portfolio, wanting defects mapped to module positions so a technician goes straight to the faultnot Assignar
  • A developer comparing defect and underperformance rates across contractors and module suppliers to inform the next procurement roundnot 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.

Sitemark

  • It only does solar, so a mixed renewables portfolio still needs a second platform for wind, storage and substations, and the consolidation argument for buying it collapses.
  • Pricing is quoted on site count and unpublished variables, which penalises owners of many small distributed assets relative to one operator of a single large plant with the same total capacity.
  • You still need someone to fly the site, and Sitemark does not remove the drone operator cost, permits or airspace constraints; it monetises the data after the flight.
  • Automated progress counting depends on a clean, current design layout, and on projects where the layout changes weekly the comparison generates false deviations that erode trust in the numbers.
  • Thermographic defect detection needs the plant producing at sufficient irradiance, so inspection windows in northern latitudes are narrow and a missed window pushes findings into the next season.

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.

Sitemark: Is Sitemark priced per megawatt?

No. Sitemark states pricing is based on number of sites and other variables. Ask explicitly how a portfolio of small sites is treated, because per-site pricing is unkind to distributed assets.

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.

Sitemark: Do we have to use Sitemark drone pilots?

No. It accepts data from third-party drone operators, which lets you keep an existing flight contractor.

Assignar: Does it handle payroll?

No. It captures hours and quantities and passes them to your payroll or enterprise resource planning system.

Sitemark: Does it cover anything other than solar?

No. It is built specifically around solar plant structures and defect types.

Sitemark: Can we export our data?

Yes, orthomosaics, defect lists and reports export. Confirm the format and whether historical inspections remain accessible after a subscription lapses.

Sitemark: Where is the company based?

Leuven, Belgium, with customers across Europe, the Middle East, Asia and the Americas.
