What Trakend is

Trakend is construction management software for commercial general contractors and subcontractors. One app covers the field (daily reports, safety, photos, a time clock), project documents (plans, RFIs and submittals, scheduling) and the money side (change orders and G702/G703-style pay apps, budgets, purchase orders, vendor invoices and job costing).

What's different about Trakend

Published, flat pricing by crew size: $29.99 to $999 a month, with unlimited users at $999. No volume-based quote and no per-user fee on the top plan.
Every plan includes every feature. Plans differ only in users and storage.
Subcontractors invited to your projects use Trakend free and see only their own paperwork.
Field to billing in one record: a T&M ticket signed in the field becomes a change order, and approved change orders land on the next pay app.
No sales call to try it: open the live demo in seconds or start a 30-day free trial.
Your data stays yours: export everything as one zip at any time. See security and data ownership.

When another tool may be the better fit

Very large enterprises that need a deep partner marketplace, ERP connectors and a dedicated implementation team often choose Procore or Autodesk Build.
Residential remodelers and custom home builders who mainly need estimating, proposals, selections and a homeowner portal are the core audience for Buildertrend and JobTread.
Teams that only want a lightweight task and plan app for the field crew may be happy with Fieldwire's focused feature set.
Trakend fits commercial GCs and subs, from a couple of crews to a few hundred people, who want field reports, paperwork and billing in one app at a price they can predict.

How we write these comparisons

We describe other products from their public information and avoid quoting their prices unless the vendor publishes them, because pricing changes. Check each vendor's current plans before you decide. Trakend's own prices are always on the pricing page.
