Where each one falls short

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

HammerTech

  • Pricing not published; requires demo request or direct contact
  • No per-seat fees but custom pricing model requires sales consultation

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

HammerTech: How much does HammerTech cost?

HammerTech does not publish pricing on its website. The company uses a custom pricing model and directs prospective customers to request a demo or contact sales directly.

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.

HammerTech: Does HammerTech charge per-seat fees?

No. HammerTech explicitly states 'No Per-Seat Fees. Because Safety Requires Everyone.' Every worker and subcontractor gets access with no extra fees.

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.

HammerTech: How can I get HammerTech pricing?

Contact HammerTech to request a demo or pricing quote by calling (855) 999-7958, visiting their pricing page at https://www.hammertech.com/en-us/pricing, or using their contact form.

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.
