The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Bidsketch tiers are seat caps rather than feature sets, at 1 user on Solo, 3 on Team and 8 on Business, with the same features throughout; ConstructConnect project Intelligence is priced per market at $129 per month for Starter and from $199 per month for Professional, so covering more geographic markets multiplies the cost
  • They diverge on capability: Bidsketch covers Proposal templates, ConstructConnect covers Project leads.
