Why contractors switch from Buildertrend

  • Pricing is quote-only, so the cost is hard to compare without a sales call
  • No free trial; Buildertrend offers demos and a virtual tour instead
  • Built around long construction projects, which can be more system than a fast-cycle replacement or service business needs
  • Client messaging is email and in-app chat based rather than a two-way texting inbox

Where Buildertrend still makes sense

  • Deep construction project management: schedules, selections, allowances, change orders, bids and purchase orders in one place
  • Strong client portal where homeowners approve selections and change orders and pay invoices
  • Real job costing, budgets and profit reporting, with QuickBooks and Xero sync
  • Unlimited users included, so adding office staff, crews and subs does not add seat cost
  • Long track record: founded in 2006, and Buildertrend reports 20,000+ active construction businesses on the platform

Buildertrend is a good fit for: Custom, semi-custom and luxury home builders running multi-phase builds; Remodelers juggling many concurrent projects with selections, allowances and change orders; Teams that manage subcontractor bids, purchase orders and bill pay inside one system; Companies that want unlimited users and deep job costing tied to QuickBooks or Xero.

What Buildertrend and its alternatives cost for your crew

Estimated monthly cost from each vendor's published pricing, before taxes, payment processing, and promotions.

Estimated monthly cost by crew size
Crew sizeRevcore ProBuildertrendJobNimbusAccuLynx
3-person crew$249/moStarter planQuote requiredQuote requiredQuote required
7-person crew$499/moPro planQuote requiredQuote requiredQuote required
15-person crew$899/moScale planQuote requiredQuote requiredQuote required

Revcore Pro: smallest plan whose included seats cover the crew, billed monthly. Annual billing is lower.

Buildertrend: Buildertrend prices by builder type and annual revenue, not by headcount, and includes unlimited users. No published price exists to estimate from.

JobNimbus: JobNimbus does not publish prices. A 3 person crew fits Essentials, 7 fits Pro and 15 fits Premium by user limit; Engage texting would be an extra bundle on any of them.

AccuLynx: AccuLynx does not publish plan or add-on prices. A like-for-like quote would need Pro or Elite plus the Texting, Customer Portal and AccuPay add-ons.

Switching from Buildertrend to Revcore

Buildertrend does not publish a single full-account export. Pull client and lead lists, estimates, open invoices and job details from its reports and list views where export is available, download proposals and documents you need to keep, and ask Buildertrend support what bulk export options your account has before you cancel.

  1. 1Start a Revcore 14-day free trial (no credit card) and set up your plan, seats and payment settings.
  2. 2Export clients, leads and open jobs from Buildertrend, plus any product or cost catalog you reuse in estimates.
  3. 3Send the files to Revcore; paid plans include hands-on onboarding and data import, including a guided CSV migration.
  4. 4Rebuild your most-used estimate templates as Good / Better / Best options and set up your in-home presentation.
  5. 5Finish active Buildertrend projects there or move them over, then connect QuickBooks and turn on two-way texting.
  6. 6Run new leads through Revcore and cancel Buildertrend once open jobs are closed out.

Replace the whole stack, not just Buildertrend.

Leap CRM Team is $298/mo including the first user plus $99/mo per added user, on a one-year contract.
