The short version
- Only Fieldwire has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: Fieldwire free tier limited to 5 team members and 3 projects maximum; Sitemark it only does solar, so a mixed renewables portfolio still needs a second platform for wind, storage and substations, and the consolidation argument for buying it collapses.
- They diverge on capability: Fieldwire covers Task management, Sitemark covers Construction progress tracking.

What people use each for
The jobs each tool is most often brought in to do.
Fieldwire
- Construction task tracking and field coordinationnot Sitemark
- Punch list management on mobile devicesnot Sitemark
- Project documentation organisationnot Sitemark
- Field team communicationnot Sitemark
Sitemark
- An EPC contractor on a multi-hundred-megawatt ground-mount plant that must report weekly installed counts to a lender and cannot do it by walking the rowsnot Fieldwire
- An asset owner accepting a plant at provisional acceptance who needs documented evidence that what was built matches the issued design before signingnot Fieldwire
- An operations team running annual thermographic inspection across a portfolio, wanting defects mapped to module positions so a technician goes straight to the faultnot Fieldwire
- A developer comparing defect and underperformance rates across contractors and module suppliers to inform the next procurement roundnot Fieldwire
Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Fieldwire
- Free tier limited to 5 team members and 3 projects maximum
- Basic plan limited to 100 sheets
- Advanced features (RFIs, submittals, change orders, budget management) restricted to higher tiers
- BIM viewer availability gated to Business tier and above
Sitemark
- It only does solar, so a mixed renewables portfolio still needs a second platform for wind, storage and substations, and the consolidation argument for buying it collapses.
- Pricing is quoted on site count and unpublished variables, which penalises owners of many small distributed assets relative to one operator of a single large plant with the same total capacity.
- You still need someone to fly the site, and Sitemark does not remove the drone operator cost, permits or airspace constraints; it monetises the data after the flight.
- Automated progress counting depends on a clean, current design layout, and on projects where the layout changes weekly the comparison generates false deviations that erode trust in the numbers.
- Thermographic defect detection needs the plant producing at sufficient irradiance, so inspection windows in northern latitudes are narrow and a missed window pushes findings into the next season.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Fieldwire: Is there a free version of Fieldwire?
Yes. Fieldwire's Basic plan is free for up to 5 users, 3 projects, and 100 sheets. It includes core features like plan viewing, task management, specifications, files, photos, and checklists.
SourceSitemark: Is Sitemark priced per megawatt?
No. Sitemark states pricing is based on number of sites and other variables. Ask explicitly how a portfolio of small sites is treated, because per-site pricing is unkind to distributed assets.
Fieldwire: What are the per-user costs for paid Fieldwire plans?
Pro costs $39 per user per month (annual billing), Business costs $64 per user per month, and Business Plus costs $89 per user per month. All paid plans include unlimited sheets and unlimited projects regardless of plan tier.
SourceSitemark: Do we have to use Sitemark drone pilots?
No. It accepts data from third-party drone operators, which lets you keep an existing flight contractor.
Fieldwire: How many users can I have on a free Fieldwire account?
The Basic plan (free) supports up to 5 users with 3 projects. Pro and higher plans scale without hard user limits; you pay per user added.
SourceSitemark: Does it cover anything other than solar?
No. It is built specifically around solar plant structures and defect types.
Fieldwire: Does Fieldwire offer discounts for annual billing?
The pricing page lists annual billing rates for the standard plans shown. Custom contracts are available through sales with options for unlimited users, tailored training, dedicated success teams, API access, and single sign-on.
SourceSitemark: Can we export our data?
Yes, orthomosaics, defect lists and reports export. Confirm the format and whether historical inspections remain accessible after a subscription lapses.
Fieldwire: What is included in the Business Plus plan that isn't in lower tiers?
Business Plus ($89/user/month) adds RFIs, submittals, change orders, and budget management features compared to the Business tier. Business itself adds custom forms, app integrations, BIM viewer, and custom task fields compared to Pro.
