The short version

  • Only Dalux has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Dalux no pricing is published for any paid module, so comparing Dalux against Procore or Autodesk Construction Cloud on cost requires entering a sales process and waiting for a quote you cannot benchmark.; Oracle Textura Payment Management the subcontractors pay 0.22 per cent of their contract value to invoice a customer that chose the platform for them, which makes rollout a negotiation with every trade on the job and produces genuine refusals from small specialty contractors
  • They diverge on capability: Dalux covers Mobile BIM viewer, Oracle Textura Payment Management covers Pay application workflow.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

What people use each for

The jobs each tool is most often brought in to do.

Dalux

  • A Nordic main contractor wants every subcontractor raising and closing snags in one system without paying a seat fee for each trade, so the free Field Basic tier carries the supply chain.not Oracle Textura Payment Management
  • An engineering consultancy needs site staff to interrogate a federated model on a phone in a basement with no signal, where a browser-based viewer would be useless.not Oracle Textura Payment Management
  • A public asset owner wants the as-built model and asset register to survive handover into an FM system rather than arriving as a pallet of ring binders.not Oracle Textura Payment Management
  • A rail or highways contractor needs quality records located by chainage along a route rather than by level and grid on a building floor plan, which is what InfraField exists for.not Oracle Textura Payment Management

Oracle Textura Payment Management

  • A general contractor on a 200 million dollar hospital wants every lien waiver in the correct state form before funds leave the account, with an audit trail the title company will acceptnot Dalux
  • A developer requires sub-tier visibility down two levels because a supplier lien on a previous project cost it a payment it had already madenot Dalux
  • An owner-lender arrangement needs the upstream draw package to be assembled automatically from the approved downstream billings each monthnot Dalux
  • A contractor operating across several US states wants the statutory waiver language selected by jurisdiction rather than by a coordinator with a template foldernot Dalux

Where each one falls short

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

Dalux

  • No pricing is published for any paid module, so comparing Dalux against Procore or Autodesk Construction Cloud on cost requires entering a sales process and waiting for a quote you cannot benchmark.
  • There is no cost management, estimating, budgeting or payment application functionality, so commercial teams keep a separate system and someone reconciles the two by hand.
  • The integration catalogue is thin next to the American incumbents, and ERP or finance connections generally mean custom work through the API rather than a listed connector.
  • Support, documentation and product terminology are strongest in Danish and Northern European construction conventions, and teams working to AIA or other North American contract norms will find the workflows do not map cleanly.
  • The free tier is deliberately limited: Field Basic has no checklists, no document control and no reporting, so the free users your subcontractors get are consumers of information rather than participants in a controlled process, and upgrading them is a paid conversation.

Oracle Textura Payment Management

  • The subcontractors pay 0.22 per cent of their contract value to invoice a customer that chose the platform for them, which makes rollout a negotiation with every trade on the job and produces genuine refusals from small specialty contractors
  • The fee is charged per project, so a subcontractor working ten projects a year for Textura-using general contractors pays ten times, and there is no annual cap across projects
  • Subcontractor-side usability is poor enough that trades routinely need coaching for their first pay application, and the general contractor absorbs that support burden even though Oracle collects the fee
  • It is an Oracle enterprise product, which means procurement, contract negotiation and an implementation partner, so the time from signature to first live project is measured in months and not weeks
  • Data export on project closeout is limited to reports and standard extracts rather than a full structured handover, so a contractor leaving the platform keeps the PDFs but loses much of the queryable payment history

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Dalux: Is Dalux really free?

BIM Viewer and Field Basic are genuinely free with unlimited invited users. Dalux Box, the full Field product, InfraField, Handover, Tender and FM are paid and quoted privately.

Oracle Textura Payment Management: Who actually pays for Textura, the general contractor or the subcontractor?

Both. The general contractor pays Oracle a subscription that is not published. Each subcontractor is separately billed 0.22 per cent of its contract value per project, capped at 5,000 US dollars, with a flat 100 dollars for sub-tier contracts.

Dalux: Does Dalux work offline on site?

Yes. Models, drawings and snags sync to the device and the mobile apps are built to work in basements and lift shafts, syncing when signal returns.

Oracle Textura Payment Management: Can a subcontractor refuse to use it?

In practice no, if the prime contract mandates it, because pay applications are only accepted through the platform. Some subcontractors price the fee into their bid instead.

Dalux: Can Dalux replace Procore?

Not on the commercial side. It covers field quality, safety, documents and handover, but has no cost control, budgets or payment applications.

Oracle Textura Payment Management: Is Textura the same thing as Textura Payment Management?

Yes. Oracle sells one product under the name Oracle Textura Payment Management. There is no separate Textura product line to buy.

Dalux: Is it available outside Europe?

It is sold globally and the apps are multilingual, but the customer base, partner network and support hours are centred on Northern Europe.

Oracle Textura Payment Management: Does it handle lien waivers outside the United States?

It has European and Australian variants with local payment and compliance handling, but the statutory lien waiver machinery is a United States feature and is the main reason to buy it.
