6 Fieldwire Alternatives for Construction Teams (2026)

1. SubShare: the crew's schedule, with no app for anyone on site

Best for: foremen and supervisors who plan who goes where · Free up to 10 people, $29/month up to 20

Is SubShare a good Fieldwire alternative?

Yes, if the job you need done is the crew's schedule. Disclosure: SubShare is ours. We built it for the part of the job that decides whether a day goes well: every person knowing where to be, what they are doing there and where the drawing is. On SubShare's board you put each job on a person with a duration, and when someone calls in sick or a delivery slips, you drag the bar. Each worker has one permanent link, sent by text or WhatsApp. Tapping it opens their week in the phone's browser: the site address with a map link, the access code, the attached PDFs and who else is on the job. There is no app to install, no account and no password, and once opened the plan keeps working in a basement with no signal.

Price is where SubShare pulls furthest ahead. Fieldwire charges for every user, subs included; SubShare charges one monthly price for your crew size: free for up to 10 people, $29 for up to 20 and $59 for up to 40 (see pricing). For 20 people that is $29 a month against $780 on Fieldwire Pro. Every account starts with 14 days of Team features and no card, billing is monthly, and you can cancel any time. The same link keeps working week after week, and you can revoke it when someone leaves. Workers tick jobs done from their phone and the board shows it, and the board flags anyone booked twice or scheduled on a day off. You can try the demo board without signing up.

Choose SubShare over Fieldwire if

• Your crew mostly needs today's jobs, the address and the drawing.
• People come and go, and setting up accounts for each one is a chore.
• You want a price that does not climb with every person you add.
• You want to start free: up to 10 people cost nothing.

Where SubShare falls short

• No punch lists, sheet markups, RFIs or submittals; keep a drawing tool if your contracts need them.

2. Autodesk Forma Build: drawings, RFIs and submittals on one Autodesk platform

Best for: General contractors with document control on every job · About $117–$175 per user/month (third-party listings)

Forma Build is where PlanGrid ended up. Autodesk bought PlanGrid in 2018, folded it into Autodesk Build, and on March 24, 2026 renamed Autodesk Build to Forma Build. It covers the ground Fieldwire keeps for its top tier: RFIs, submittals, cost management and change orders are part of the product, sheets keep a version history, and it all shares data with Autodesk's design tools.

It is also the most expensive option here per head. Autodesk quotes most buyers directly, and 2026 listings put it at about $117 to $175 per user per month, so a 10-person team lands between $1,170 and $1,750 a month. That makes sense for a project team drowning in submittals. It makes less sense for a crew that mostly needs today's sheet.

Fieldwire vs PlanGrid (Forma Build), compared in detail →

Fieldwire vs Forma Build: choose Forma Build if

• RFIs and submittals are contract requirements on most of your jobs.
• Your drawings start life in Revit, AutoCAD or other Autodesk tools.
• You want one version history for sheets from design to closeout.

Where Forma Build falls short

• Every field user is a paid seat, at about three times Fieldwire Pro.
• No free plan and no single published price.

3. Procore: unlimited users, priced by construction volume

Best for: Mid-size and larger contractors with many companies on each job · Quote only; third-party estimates $4,500–$60,000 a year

Procore flips Fieldwire's pricing model around. It never charges per user, so you can put every sub, owner and designer on a project without a seat count. Instead you pay an annual fee per product, set by your annual construction volume. Procore publishes no rates; third-party trackers put contracts at roughly $4,500 to $60,000 a year.

In return you get the broadest platform in the category: drawings, RFIs, submittals, quality and safety, financials, and crew scheduling through Resource Planning, which Procore prices as its own product and which can send schedules by text or email. The catch for a small crew is the rest of the package. The fee is paid upfront for the year, setup is a project in itself, and anyone who needs more than an alert still signs up and learns the app.

7 Procore alternatives and competitors, with prices →

Fieldwire vs Procore: choose Procore if

• Many companies need to work in the same project, and per-user fees would punish that.
• You want field, office and financials in one system.
• Your construction volume makes a volume-based fee predictable.

Where Procore falls short

• No published price; upfront annual fee.
• Workers who use it day to day need an account and the app.

4. Bluebeam Revu: the markup and takeoff specialist

Best for: Estimators, project managers and detailers who live in PDFs · $260–$590 per user/year

If the thing you love about Fieldwire is marking up drawings, Bluebeam does that part better than anyone. Revu is PDF software built for construction: markups, measurements, drawing comparison and shared Studio sessions where a team marks up the same set together. It is priced per user per year, from $260 for Basics to $330 for Core, $440 for Complete and $590 for Max.

Bluebeam is an office and estimating tool first. It is not built to assign the day's work to a crew or follow a punch list through a building, so teams that switch to it usually pair it with something lighter for the field.

Fieldwire vs Bluebeam: choose Bluebeam if

• Markups, measurements and takeoffs are the Fieldwire features you use most.
• Your drawing work happens at a desk more than on site.
• You want an annual per-user price that is easy to budget.

Where Bluebeam falls short

• Not a field task or crew scheduling tool.
• Per-user licensing, like Fieldwire.

5. CompanyCam: photo documentation crews actually use

Best for: Photo records of every job, shared with the office and the customer · From $63/month; Crew $129 for 3 users, plus $29 per extra user

Plenty of teams discover that the Fieldwire feature their crew really uses is the camera. CompanyCam is built around that: every photo and video is timestamped and filed under its project automatically, and checklists and reports are built from them. The Crew plan adds task assignment, real-time job tracking and a live map.

Core costs $63 a month for one user, Crew $129 for three users and Scale $199 for three, each with extra users at $29 on monthly billing; annual billing saves 20%. A 10-person team on Crew pays $332 a month. It does not manage drawing sets, so it replaces Fieldwire only where photos were the point.

Fieldwire vs CompanyCam: choose CompanyCam if

• Photos are how you prove progress, settle disputes and update customers.
• Your crew already takes the pictures and you want them organized.
• You do not need sheet management or RFIs.

Where CompanyCam falls short

• No drawing sets, markups or punch lists pinned to sheets.
• Every user past the third costs $29 a month.

6. Contractor Foreman: the budget all-in-one

Best for: Small contractors who want one inexpensive system · From $49/month; $221 for up to 15 users, billed annually

Contractor Foreman's pitch is breadth for the price. Every plan includes project management, scheduling, time cards and crew scheduling, and the Standard plan and up add subcontracts and a client portal, with QuickBooks integration. Plans are sold by user count on annual billing: Basic at $49 a month for one user, Standard at $105 for three, Plus at $166 for eight, Pro at $221 for 15 and Unlimited at $332.

For a 10-person team that means Pro at $221 a month, less than Fieldwire Pro's $390. The trade-off is depth. Each module is lighter than the specialist tools, the cheapest prices need an annual prepay, and everyone who uses it needs a login.

Fieldwire vs Contractor Foreman: choose Contractor Foreman if

• Price is the main reason you are leaving Fieldwire.
• You want time cards, scheduling and simple financials in one place.
• You can live with more menus and fewer guardrails.

Where Contractor Foreman falls short

• Breadth over depth; drawing tools are basic next to Fieldwire.
• Lowest prices need annual billing up front.
