BuildPunch vs Fieldwire
Fieldwire is a field management app — plans, tasks, punch lists, and forms — priced per user per month, with RFIs and submittals reserved for its highest tier (Business Plus, publicly listed at $89 per user per month as of August 2026; verify on their site). BuildPunch covers the same field workflows and includes RFIs and submittals on the $149/month Professional plan, flat for ten users. Fieldwire's plan viewer and task engine are mature and well-liked; BuildPunch's advantage is that the price does not scale with headcount and that subs and owners can look for free.
How we compare, line by line

Competitor details are widely reported public facts, summarized cautiously per their public pricing and marketing pages as of August 2026 — vendors change pricing and packaging without notice, so verify on their site before you decide.

Where BuildPunch is the better fit
- Flat company pricing — a 25-person team is $299/month total, not 25 seats.
- RFIs and submittals included at $149/month rather than gated behind a top per-user tier.
- Invited subs and owners view for free and never consume a licensed seat.
- Live cameras, TV command-center dashboards, IoT sensor monitoring, and AI bid extraction are bundled, not add-ons.
- Drawing measurement (calibrate a sheet, then measure distance, perimeter, and area) is on every plan, including on a phone.
Where Fieldwire is still the better fit
- Fieldwire's plan viewer and task management are long-established and heavily used on large projects.
- A larger ecosystem and integration list, backed by Hilti.
- More mature form/checklist templates library out of the box.
