The short version

  • Each has a real cost: CoConstruct coConstruct does not publish pricing information on their website; Trunk Tools nothing about pricing is published, and because it is quoted by project rather than by seat, the cost of standardising it across a portfolio of jobs is hard to model before a sales process
  • They diverge on capability: CoConstruct covers Project scheduling, Trunk Tools covers Question answering with citations.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

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

Trunk Tools

  • Nothing about pricing is published, and because it is quoted by project rather than by seat, the cost of standardising it across a portfolio of jobs is hard to model before a sales process
  • Answer quality is bounded entirely by the discipline of the underlying document control, and on a project with stale drawing revisions it will cite superseded sheets with the same confidence as current ones
  • It is an overlay on Procore or Autodesk rather than a system of record, so a contractor is now paying two vendors for the same document set and depends on the integration continuing to be maintained
  • The company is young and the product category is new, so there is little independent long-run evidence on accuracy, and a contractor putting field decisions on it should build its own verification sampling rather than trust vendor claims
  • Answers with citations do not carry contractual weight; an RFI response or a specification still governs, so the tool reduces search time without reducing the contractual review burden

CoConstruct's pricing model and pricing tiers are not disclosed on their public website. Pricing details are provided during the demo booking process or through direct contact with sales.

Source
Trunk Tools: What does it cost?

CoConstruct: Does CoConstruct offer pricing information before contacting sales?

No, CoConstruct does not provide pricing details, calculators, or tiered pricing information on their website. All pricing information is available only after scheduling a demo or speaking directly with their sales representatives.

Source
Trunk Tools: Can it be wrong?

Yes. It cites its source, which lets you check, but if the document set contains superseded drawings it will answer from them. Document control discipline is a prerequisite, not an optional extra.

Trunk Tools: Can field staff use it without the app?

Yes. TrunkText answers questions by text message, which is the main reason foremen adopt it.
