Where each one falls short

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

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
  • Premium Project Intelligence pricing is custom and requires contacting sales
  • Takeoff is billed per seat per year at $1,200 for Starter and $2,200 for Professional and is priced separately from Project Intelligence

Newforma

  • Pricing is by quote only, with no rate, tier or minimum published; the site offers only Book a Demo and Get Started
  • The cloud product Konekt and the on-premises product Project Center are separate offerings, so the on-premises option requires a different product rather than a deployment setting
