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; Tekla Structures pricing page names three material-independent subscription plan options rather than a perpetual license, but discloses no figures, offering only a free 30 day trial and directing buyers to contact the company for pricing
  • They diverge on capability: ConstructConnect covers Project leads, Tekla Structures covers 3D structural modeling.
