Where each one falls short

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

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.

Procore

  • No price is published: the fee is an upfront annual amount set against Annual Construction Volume, the aggregate dollar value of work across a customer's projects
  • Pricing scales with construction volume rather than seats, so a contractor cannot estimate cost from team size
  • Every figure requires contacting sales, and products are quoted individually rather than as one list price

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

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.

Procore: How is Procore pricing calculated?

Procore uses Annual Construction Volume (ACV) pricing, which is the aggregate dollar value of construction work across your projects. Pricing varies by products selected and company type. Annual contracts provide fixed, predictable pricing from day one.

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.

Procore: Are there per-user fees in Procore, or can I add unlimited team members?

Procore offers unlimited users at no additional cost. You can grow your team and collaborate without per-seat license fees. All plans include 24/7 support, product enhancements, implementation services, and 18 on-demand role-based certifications.

Source
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.

Procore: What is included in Procore plans beyond the base price?

All Procore plans include unlimited users, unlimited data storage, unlimited 24/7 support, product enhancements, implementation services, and training resources. No additional fees apply for support, data overage, or user additions.
