What is Procore?
Procore is a US construction project management software with many different modules.
The software covers preconstruction, project management, resources management, and financial management.
A Bit More Context
Procore has been building out its software since 2003. This makes it a double-edged sword.
On the one hand, it’s very comprehensive. It covers many different functions through different models, which means you can unify processes more.
On the other hand, companies tend to move upmarket as they mature. Their solutions get way more complex, and the pricing goes up and up. Procore is like Salesforce in that sense—it’s used by the biggest companies in the world, but they are all paying through the nose.
Because Procore has been software in development for almost 20 years, it probably contains a lot of legacy technology. Things that were built ten years ago look outdated now in software.
What is Planyard?
Planyard is a cloud-based budget and subcontractor management software for main contractors.
You can manage budgets without Excel and back-and-forth emails. Your subcontractors will do the work for you.
Procore vs Planyard pricing
The pricing for Procore is relatively fixed, requiring you to pay large sums before determining whether the platform is right for you. The same issue arises if you are a smaller company or have various projects. The one-size-fits-all approach does not apply to everyone. That is why the pricing for Planyard depends on the functionality you need.
