Builtstraight vs Procore
What Procore is.
Procore is a construction management platform sold to contractors by product, and it says so plainly: "We charge an upfront annual fee by product and based upon your Annual Construction Volume (ACV)", which it defines as the total value of the construction work across your projects. Users are unlimited and included, its own page naming "not just your employees, but all other collaborators like clients, subcontractors, and vendors". It runs a page headed "Procore is for Small-Medium Contractors", so it does sell below the enterprise tier, but it publishes no figure, and no free tier or trial is shown on its pricing page.
What Builtstraight is.
A construction management platform for builders who run plots with subcontractors: the plots and their programme, a scope, the evidence and a price on every stage, subcontractor invites, documents and the safety file, an audit trail and a read-only client link. One published price per firm, monthly or yearly, and no product bundle to assemble.

Why Builtstraight, not Procore.
Procore is built for commercial work with a design team in the loop, drawings, RFIs, submittals and cost management, sold by product against your annual construction volume. If you run plots with subcontractors rather than a design team, you need less of that and more of what happens on site: the programme, the trades on each stage, photos checked as they arrive with AI flagging poor work, the documents and the safety file. Builtstraight gives you all of it for a published price per firm, with your subcontractors free, and you can start free on one plot today.
