Where each one falls short

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

CoConstruct

  • CoConstruct does not publish pricing information on their website
  • Pricing inquiry requires scheduling a demo or contacting sales at 1-800-213-3392
  • Website focuses on features and migration to Buildertrend platform rather than pricing
  • No pricing tiers or cost breakdowns visible on public pages

Cubit Estimating

  • Every subscription carries a minimum twelve month term, so a firm that hires an estimator for one tender period pays for the full year regardless.
  • BIM and IFC takeoff sits only in Enterprise at $250 per user per month, meaning a builder who receives models rather than PDFs is pushed to the top tier whether or not it needs collaboration features.
  • The product is Windows only with no macOS or browser client, which excludes practices standardised on Macs unless they run virtualisation.
  • Rate libraries, measurement conventions and BOQ structures follow Australian practice, so buyers outside Australia and New Zealand inherit a method that does not match their local standard forms.
  • The AI Estimating add-on is priced at an explicitly temporary introductory rate, so a firm building the feature into its workflow is accepting an unspecified future increase on top of the seat price.
