The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Newforma pricing is by quote only, with no rate, tier or minimum published; the site offers only Book a Demo and Get Started; Sitemark it only does solar, so a mixed renewables portfolio still needs a second platform for wind, storage and substations, and the consolidation argument for buying it collapses.
  • They diverge on capability: Newforma covers Document management, Sitemark covers Construction progress tracking.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

What people use each for

The jobs each tool is most often brought in to do.

Newforma

  • Managing project email, documents and submittals for architecture and engineering firmsnot Sitemark
  • Keeping construction project information on-premises for control and security through Project Centernot Sitemark
  • Coordinating issues and RFIs across design and construction teams in Konektnot Sitemark

Sitemark

  • An EPC contractor on a multi-hundred-megawatt ground-mount plant that must report weekly installed counts to a lender and cannot do it by walking the rowsnot Newforma
  • An asset owner accepting a plant at provisional acceptance who needs documented evidence that what was built matches the issued design before signingnot Newforma
  • An operations team running annual thermographic inspection across a portfolio, wanting defects mapped to module positions so a technician goes straight to the faultnot Newforma
  • A developer comparing defect and underperformance rates across contractors and module suppliers to inform the next procurement roundnot Newforma

Where each one falls short

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

Newforma

  • Pricing is by quote only, with no rate, tier or minimum published; the site offers only Book a Demo and Get Started
  • The cloud product Konekt and the on-premises product Project Center are separate offerings, so the on-premises option requires a different product rather than a deployment setting

Sitemark

  • It only does solar, so a mixed renewables portfolio still needs a second platform for wind, storage and substations, and the consolidation argument for buying it collapses.
  • Pricing is quoted on site count and unpublished variables, which penalises owners of many small distributed assets relative to one operator of a single large plant with the same total capacity.
  • You still need someone to fly the site, and Sitemark does not remove the drone operator cost, permits or airspace constraints; it monetises the data after the flight.
  • Automated progress counting depends on a clean, current design layout, and on projects where the layout changes weekly the comparison generates false deviations that erode trust in the numbers.
  • Thermographic defect detection needs the plant producing at sufficient irradiance, so inspection windows in northern latitudes are narrow and a missed window pushes findings into the next season.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Newforma: What is Newforma pricing?

Newforma does not publish pricing on its website. The company offers three product offerings: Newforma Konekt, Newforma Project Center, and Newforma ConstructEx. Customers must book a demo or contact the company directly for custom pricing.

Source
Sitemark: Is Sitemark priced per megawatt?

No. Sitemark states pricing is based on number of sites and other variables. Ask explicitly how a portfolio of small sites is treated, because per-site pricing is unkind to distributed assets.

Sitemark: Do we have to use Sitemark drone pilots?

No. It accepts data from third-party drone operators, which lets you keep an existing flight contractor.

Sitemark: Does it cover anything other than solar?

No. It is built specifically around solar plant structures and defect types.

Sitemark: Can we export our data?

Yes, orthomosaics, defect lists and reports export. Confirm the format and whether historical inspections remain accessible after a subscription lapses.

Sitemark: Where is the company based?

Leuven, Belgium, with customers across Europe, the Middle East, Asia and the Americas.
