SOFTWARE

Field service, maintenance & construction software, compared

Per-user rates, flat plans, and real implementation costs across 222 field service, CMMS/EAM, equipment rental, and construction platforms — filter by category or price band, sort by cost, and read the full review behind every number.

Every vendor's own pricing page is optimized to make their plan look affordable. This page is different: it's a neutral cross-market comparison of what field service, maintenance (CMMS/EAM), equipment rental, and construction software actually costs — across 222 platforms reviewed against the same five-criterion rubric by Chip Alvarez. You'll find per-user rates, flat-fee plans, implementation fees, and custom-quote tiers laid out side by side, with no paid placement and no vendor sponsorship influencing position or score.

Use the category tabs to jump straight to the software type you need, and the price-band filter to narrow to your budget range (under $50/user, $50–$100, $100–$200, or enterprise/custom-quote), or sort low → high to see entry-level options first. For background on how vendors across these categories structure pricing — per-user vs. per-technician vs. flat fee, what implementation fees typically cover, and when custom quotes are unavoidable — see the FSM pricing models explainer. If you already know your trade and team size, thevendor matcher applies those inputs and surfaces a shortlist. For head-to-head cost breakdowns between specific tools, see thecomparisons.

From $249/user/mo Takeoff & Estimate: $249-$299/user/mo billed annually; Build & Operate: $599-$699/user/year; custom Build Your Own subscriptions available

STACK is a bid-to-build construction software suite for specialty contractors and general contractors that need takeoff, estimating, document control, and…

Published pricing is more transparent than most construction suites, with clear plan tiers and custom build-your-own options
Strong preconstruction tools: takeoff, estimating, plan organization, compare, and markup
Broad construction workflow coverage from bid to build, including field collaboration and closeout tools
Enterprise-ready controls such as SSO, MFA, SOC 2 Type 2, and API access
Helpful AI-assisted plan workflows and a real Excel integration path via STACK for Excel / Velixo

The broader Build & Operate suite still requires a sales-led purchase for larger teams
STACK is not a service-dispatch FSM tool, so HVAC/plumbing shops need a different fit if recurring service is the core workflow
Pricing can rise quickly as teams move from takeoff-only plans to the full collaboration suite
Advanced AI takeoff features may sit in higher tiers or add-ons
