Good tools.
Built for somebody.
LMN, SynkedUP, Jobber, Procore and Buildertrend are good products. Each one is built for a particular kind of company. Here’s who, what they charge, and where a hardscape sub fits. Spreadsheets are on the list too, because that’s what most estimates still start in.

“Custom quote” means the company doesn’t publish a price. Jobber’s price depends on team size; Core is its one-user plan. Each comparison page lists every published plan with a link to the source.
Method
How we compare.
A comparison written by one of the companies in it deserves some suspicion. Here are the rules we held ourselves to.
- 01Prices are public list prices, checked September 2026. Prices change, so follow the links on each page for current terms.
- 02Monthly is compared with monthly. Annual discounts and promotions are left out, on their side and ours.
- 03Where a company doesn’t publish a price, we say “custom quote” instead of guessing.
- 04Per seat matters. Several of these charge by the user or by team size. Every Screed plan covers the whole company.
- 05Every page says who the other product fits better, and leaves its feature list to its own site. Every Screed claim is something in the app today.
