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; ProEst proest.com/pricing/ redirects to construction.autodesk.com/pricing/proest, confirming ProEst is now sold exclusively as part of Autodesk Construction Cloud rather than as a standalone product.
  • They diverge on capability: ConstructConnect covers Project leads, ProEst covers Digital takeoff.
