Comparison
Fieldwire alternative without per-user pricing
What is Fieldwire actually for?
Fieldwire is field management software built around plans, tasks and checklists. It is the tool a site team actually opens on a phone, and it is good at that job.
It deserves credit for something rare in this market: it publishes its prices. Every other product in this comparison, including our own engagements, is quote-only. Fieldwire lets you work out what it costs before you speak to anyone, and that transparency is worth acknowledging.
Pricing: Published. Free tier, then $39, $64 and $89 per user per month on annual billing, plus a custom tier.
How do the two compare?
| Fieldwire | AI Metric | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Per user per month, published | Scoped engagement, not per seat |
| Cost as the site team grows | Rises with every user added | Unchanged. Capture is not licensed per person |
| Where RFIs and change orders sit | Business Plus tier, $89 per user per month | Part of the record, not a tier |
| What the site team opens | The Fieldwire app | WhatsApp, which they already have open |
| Plans and drawings on site | Strong. This is its core competence | Not a drawing tool. Different job |
| Price transparency | Published, which is rare and genuinely useful | Not published, quote only |
When Fieldwire is the right choice
- Your site team needs plans, tasks and punch lists on a phone. That is what it is built for and it does it well.
- You want to know the price before you talk to a salesperson, and to start on a free tier and grow. Very few products in this market allow that.
- Your user count is small and stable, so per-seat pricing stays proportionate.
- Drawing management on site is your actual problem, which is not a problem we solve.
When we are the better fit
- Your headcount on site is large or variable, and per-seat pricing means you end up licensing only some of the people who hold the information.
- The people whose records matter most, subcontractor foremen and visiting trades, will never be licensed users of anything.
- You need the commercial and contractual record rather than task management.
- You have watched a field app fail adoption before, because the team went back to the group chat.
