Why GCs look for something else.
The bill grows when you win work
Procore prices on your annual construction volume, so a better year can mean a bigger renewal.¹ Axion PM is $499 a month for the whole company, whatever your volume.
You can't see it before you sign
Procore starts with a demo and a quote.¹ With Axion PM you sign up and you're inside a fully built sample job in minutes. No card, no call.
The money tools cost extra
Budgets, contracts and pay apps are part of Procore's financial products, priced separately from project management.² In Axion PM they're part of the one price, along with everything else.
