Where each one falls short

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

Lumion

  • Enterprise tier is priced by quote only, labelled Let's talk in the vendor's own pricing data, alongside otherwise self-serve tiers with published dollar and pound figures

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
