  • Each has a real cost: BuildingConnected the Internet Archive's capture of BuildingConnected's homepage on 16 December 2019 named three distinct network tools, BC Pro, TradeTapp, and Bid Board Pro, each sold via demo request or free trial with no price figure published; the product is now owned by Autodesk.; MachineMetrics pricing page names three tiers (Core Platform, Intelligent MES, Enterprise) but publishes no dollar figures, stating cost is volume-based per connected machine
