The short version

  • Each has a real cost: InEight a wide set of separate modules, including Control, Contract, Estimate, Schedule, Document and Model, so a working setup means choosing several; 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.
  • They diverge on capability: InEight covers Project controls, Kojo covers Field material requests.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

InEight

  • A wide set of separate modules, including Control, Contract, Estimate, Schedule, Document and Model, so a working setup means choosing several
  • Prices are not published; enterprise deals are custom and per-user purchasing goes through a separate portal
  • Built for capital projects in construction, energy and mining rather than general project work

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

InEight: How much does InEight cost?

InEight pricing is not published online. Enterprise pricing is determined through consultation with the sales team based on number of users, products selected, and contract length. Per-user pricing for the InEight NOW product allows monthly and annual billing options, but exact figures require contacting sales.

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.

InEight: Does InEight offer a free trial?

InEight offers modular and configurable pricing based on which products customers select. The brief mentions customers can request a demo to discuss pricing, but no specific free trial details are published.

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.

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.
