Where each one falls short

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

iAuditor by SafetyCulture

  • The free plan is limited to 10 users and 5 active templates
  • AI credits are metered per seat per month, at 300 on free, 500 on Premium and 800 on Enterprise
  • Unlimited templates and advanced analytics require Premium at $24 per seat per month billed annually
  • Paying monthly rather than annually raises Premium from $24 to $29 per seat
  • The 99.9% uptime commitment and 24/7 support are Enterprise only

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by the discipline of the underlying document control, and on a project with stale drawing revisions it will cite superseded sheets with the same confidence as current ones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

iAuditor by SafetyCulture: Is Mitti (formerly iAuditor) free?

Mitti offers a free tier to start inspections and manage issues. Pricing for premium or team plans is not displayed on the vendor website.

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.

iAuditor by SafetyCulture: What is the cost of Mitti for small teams?

Mitti does not publish per-user or team-based pricing on its website. The vendor directs users to book a demo to discuss plans and costs.

Source
Trunk Tools: What does it cost?

Trunk Tools does not publish pricing. Expect a quote scoped by project, users and which modules you take.

iAuditor by SafetyCulture: Does Mitti charge per inspection or per user?

Mitti's pricing model (per-user, per-inspection, or flat-rate) is not disclosed on the vendor site. Users must request pricing information directly from sales.

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.
