  • All three bundles (Model Management, Preconstruction and Construction Operations) are sold by Get a Quote with no published price
  • Capability is split across separate bundles, so a firm needing preconstruction and construction operations buys two bundles
  • Pricing is described as user, project and account-based rather than a single published per-seat rate
  • The money-back guarantee is limited to 30 days
  • Expert support hours are 24 hours a day Monday to Friday, so weekends are not covered

Mailgun

  • Free plan caps at 100 emails per day
  • Basic plan starts at $15/mo for 10,000 emails then overages from $1.80 per 1,000; Foundation and Scale plans discount overage rates but still meter every email beyond the included volume
  • Foundation ($35/mo) and Scale ($90/mo) plans are free for the first month only, then bill at full price
