Where each one falls short

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

Mari

  • The full annual licence is $1,289 paid annually, and a short term quarterly rental is $949 per quarter
  • The cheap $299 per year or $35 per month subscription is restricted to a single licence for people working alone or in small companies
  • Node-locked and floating are separate licence types you must choose between
  • All listed prices are before applicable taxes
  • A separate non-commercial licence exists, so commercial use requires a paid tier

Procore

  • No price is published: the fee is an upfront annual amount set against Annual Construction Volume, the aggregate dollar value of work across a customer's projects
  • Pricing scales with construction volume rather than seats, so a contractor cannot estimate cost from team size
  • Every figure requires contacting sales, and products are quoted individually rather than as one list price
