The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Egnyte storage is allocated per plan rather than per user, at 100 GB on Business and 150 GB on every tier above it; Kojo benefits depend on distributors providing electronic catalogues and pricing, and a contractor whose main supplier will not participate is left keying quotes by hand.
  • They diverge on capability: Egnyte covers File sync and sharing, Kojo covers Field material requests.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

Egnyte

  • Storage is allocated per plan rather than per user, at 100 GB on Business and 150 GB on every tier above it
  • 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

Kojo

  • Benefits depend on distributors providing electronic catalogues and pricing, and a contractor whose main supplier will not participate is left keying quotes by hand.
  • It serves speciality trade contractors; general contractors procure subcontracts rather than materials and get almost nothing from it.
  • Enterprise resource planning integration quality varies by system and version, so confirm the depth for your exact configuration rather than accepting the logo on the website.
  • Field adoption is the whole game, and foremen who lose signal in a plant room or basement revert to phoning the office within days unless offline capture genuinely works.
  • It changes purchasing process as well as software, so contractors whose buying authority is informal have to formalise who can commit money before the system produces clean data.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Egnyte: How much does Egnyte cost per user?

Egnyte pricing ranges from $22 per user per month (Business plan, paid annually) to $48 per user per month (Elite plan, paid annually). The Ultimate plan requires a custom quote. Enterprise Lite is $39 per user per month.

Source
Kojo: Is this for general contractors?

No. It is built for speciality trade contractors buying materials. General contractors procure subcontracts and would get little from it.

Egnyte: What storage limits apply to each Egnyte plan?

Business plan includes 100 GB per account and supports up to 100 users. Enterprise Lite, Elite, and Ultimate plans include 150 GB per account each with support for unlimited users.

Source
Kojo: What if our suppliers will not connect?

You lose most of the quoting benefit and keep only the internal workflow. Check distributor participation before purchase, because it determines the return.

Egnyte: Are there additional costs for Egnyte add-ons?

Yes. Project Hub costs $6 per user per month, Specialized File Handler costs $6 per user per month, and Snapshot & Recovery costs $10 per user per month.

Source
Kojo: Does it work without signal on site?

Field requests are designed for site use, and offline behaviour should be tested with your own crews in your worst locations, because that is where adoption is won or lost.

Egnyte: Does Egnyte offer a free trial?

Egnyte offers a free trial for all tiers except Ultimate. The Ultimate tier requires contacting sales. Multi-year discounts are available but specific terms are not detailed on the pricing page.
