The short version

  • Each has a real cost: HammerTech pricing not published; requires demo request or direct contact; Trunk Tools nothing about pricing is published, and because it is quoted by project rather than by seat, the cost of standardising it across a portfolio of jobs is hard to model before a sales process
  • They diverge on capability: HammerTech covers Contractor prequalification, Trunk Tools covers Question answering with citations.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

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

Trunk Tools

  • Nothing about pricing is published, and because it is quoted by project rather than by seat, the cost of standardising it across a portfolio of jobs is hard to model before a sales process
  • Answer quality is bounded entirely by the discipline of the underlying document control, and on a project with stale drawing revisions it will cite superseded sheets with the same confidence as current ones
  • It is an overlay on Procore or Autodesk rather than a system of record, so a contractor is now paying two vendors for the same document set and depends on the integration continuing to be maintained
  • The company is young and the product category is new, so there is little independent long-run evidence on accuracy, and a contractor putting field decisions on it should build its own verification sampling rather than trust vendor claims
  • Answers with citations do not carry contractual weight; an RFI response or a specification still governs, so the tool reduces search time without reducing the contractual review burden

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
Trunk Tools: Does it replace Procore?

No. It reads from Procore or Autodesk Construction Cloud and adds retrieval and review on top. You still pay for the document platform.

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
Trunk Tools: What does it cost?

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.

Source
Trunk Tools: Can it be wrong?

Yes. It cites its source, which lets you check, but if the document set contains superseded drawings it will answer from them. Document control discipline is a prerequisite, not an optional extra.

Trunk Tools: Can field staff use it without the app?

Yes. TrunkText answers questions by text message, which is the main reason foremen adopt it.
