Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Egnyte

- That means Elite at $48 per user per month carries the same 150 GB as Enterprise Lite at $39
- The Business plan caps the account at 100 power users, so growth past that forces a jump to $39 per user
- Every published price requires annual payment
- The Ultimate tier is quoted rather than listed
Buildxact
- The free Go tier includes only 5 complimentary credits before requiring a paid plan starting at $199 per month, as of August 2026
- Advanced estimating tools like the Blu Estimate Generator and Takeoff Assistant cost an extra $99 per month each on top of the base plan, as of August 2026
