Is Buildots or Procore better?

Neither clearly leads. Buildots starts at On request and Procore at On request, and user ratings are close enough to be indistinguishable. Choose on capability and platform support.

Which is cheaper, Buildots or Procore?

Buildots starts at On request and Procore at On request.

Does Buildots or Procore run on more platforms?

Both run on Web, iOS, Android, so platform support will not decide this one for you.

What is Buildots best used for?

Buildots is most often used for a residential tower where the same fit-out sequence repeats on forty floors and the contractor wants an objective read on cycle time, a hospital or data centre fit-out where mep first fix progress is disputed between the main contractor and trades every month, a developer that wants independent progress evidence before certifying an interim payment application, a contractor building a production rate history across projects so future programmes are based on measured output rather than assumption. Of those, a residential tower where the same fit-out sequence repeats on forty floors and the contractor wants an objective read on cycle time and a hospital or data centre fit-out where mep first fix progress is disputed between the main contractor and trades every month are not what Procore is typically brought in for.

What can Buildots do that Procore cannot?

Buildots covers Hard hat 360 capture, Model to as-built comparison, Per activity progress scoring, Programme deviation alerts. Procore covers Project management, Quality & safety, Financial management, Resource management.

The short version

Each has a real cost: Buildots tracking depends on a BIM model maintained at construction level of detail; on a job where the model is stale or was never built for coordination, the comparison degrades and much of the value disappears.; Procore no price is published: the fee is an upfront annual amount set against Annual Construction Volume, the aggregate dollar value of work across a customer's projects
They diverge on capability: Buildots covers Hard hat 360 capture, Procore covers Project management.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Buildots

Tracking depends on a BIM model maintained at construction level of detail; on a job where the model is stale or was never built for coordination, the comparison degrades and much of the value disappears.
The data only arrives if someone walks the site every week with the camera, so coverage decays quietly when the site team is under pressure, exactly when the reporting is most needed.
Pricing is per project rather than per seat and includes hardware, so a contractor cannot roll it out cheaply across a portfolio of small jobs and it is uneconomic below a certain project value.
It reads interior fit-out and repetitive vertical work far better than structure, groundworks or external envelope, so a large fraction of a project's programme is outside what it can score.
Making progress objective creates commercial friction with subcontractors whose valuations have historically been negotiated, and contractors who deploy it without addressing that in the subcontract get pushback rather than adoption.

Procore

No price is published: the fee is an upfront annual amount set against Annual Construction Volume, the aggregate dollar value of work across a customer's projects
Pricing scales with construction volume rather than seats, so a contractor cannot estimate cost from team size
Every figure requires contacting sales, and products are quoted individually rather than as one list price

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Buildots: What does Buildots cost?

It is quoted per project based on size, duration and scope, with camera hardware included. Nothing is published.

Procore: How is Procore pricing calculated?

Procore uses Annual Construction Volume (ACV) pricing, which is the aggregate dollar value of construction work across your projects. Pricing varies by products selected and company type. Annual contracts provide fixed, predictable pricing from day one.

Source

Buildots: Do I need a BIM model?

Yes. The system scores progress by comparing captured conditions against model objects, so the model quality sets the ceiling on accuracy.

Procore: Are there per-user fees in Procore, or can I add unlimited team members?

Procore offers unlimited users at no additional cost. You can grow your team and collaborate without per-seat license fees. All plans include 24/7 support, product enhancements, implementation services, and 18 on-demand role-based certifications.

Source

Buildots: What kind of projects suit it?

Repetitive vertical work with heavy interior fit-out. Civil, groundworks and external envelope are poorly covered.

Procore: What is included in Procore plans beyond the base price?

All Procore plans include unlimited users, unlimited data storage, unlimited 24/7 support, product enhancements, implementation services, and training resources. No additional fees apply for support, data overage, or user additions.

Source

Buildots: Who does the site walks?

Your own site team, typically once or twice a week. There is no Buildots operator on site.
