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.; Revit windows-only software with no native macOS support, limiting adoption among Mac-based design teams
They diverge on capability: Dalux covers Mobile BIM viewer, Revit covers BIM modeling.

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.

Revit

Windows-only software with no native macOS support, limiting adoption among Mac-based design teams
Heavy computational requirements make it difficult to run on mid-range hardware, creating high infrastructure costs
