Houzz Pro

  • The Pro plan includes only 1 seat and additional users cost $60 per user per month

  • Advertising packages are a separate add-on starting at $499 per month on top of the software subscription
  • No monthly subscription price for any tier is shown on the pricing page

Viewpoint Vista

  • Now sold by Trimble as part of Trimble Construction One rather than as an independent Viewpoint product
  • Pricing is not published; the vendor asks for a phone call or a contact form
  • Built for construction contractors, so its accounting assumes job costing rather than general ledger work
