The short version

  • Each has a real cost: ConstructConnect project Intelligence is priced per market at $129 per month for Starter and from $199 per month for Professional, so covering more geographic markets multiplies the cost; Kahua pricing is by quote only, with no rate or minimum published; the vendor states pricing is based on organization type, program or construction scale, selected package, deployment environment and implementation requirements
  • They diverge on capability: ConstructConnect covers Project leads, Kahua covers Project management.
