Where each one falls short

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

CoConstruct

  • CoConstruct is being retired into Buildertrend, with the vendor stating the transition is entering its final phase and directing customers to migrate
  • No CoConstruct price, plan or minimum is published on its pricing page

Egnyte

  • Storage is allocated per plan rather than per user, at 100 GB on Business and 150 GB on every tier above it
  • That means Elite at $48 per user per month carries the same 150 GB as Enterprise Lite at $39
  • The Business plan caps the account at 100 power users, so growth past that forces a jump to $39 per user
  • Every published price requires annual payment
  • The Ultimate tier is quoted rather than listed
