The receipts

We checked what the big guys actually charge.
Bring a chair.

These are the going rates in construction software right now — before onboarding fees, per-seat creep, and the renewal-day price hike. We publish theirs so you never have to sit through a "custom quote" call.

Every feature. One plan.

No "Advanced tier." No "Complete tier."
Just the whole thing.

The big platforms lock budgets behind one tier and selections behind another. Every Opus account gets everything — because splitting a builder's toolkit into tiers is a pricing trick, not a product decision.

Scheduling that moves like a real job site

Drag a trade and every dependent phase shifts with it. Subs get notified automatically. Your client sees the updated timeline in their portal before you've put the phone down.

  • Gantt and calendar views with trade dependencies
  • Automatic sub notifications on any change
  • Baseline vs. actual tracking per phase
  • Schedule templates for your build types

Budgets that flag the overrun before it eats your margin

Every line tracks estimate, committed, and actual with live variance. Signed change orders roll in automatically, so the number you see is the number that's true.

  • Line-item variance with over/under flags
  • Change orders flow straight into the budget
  • Two-way QuickBooks sync
  • Margin projection per project, updated live

Feature and pricing information based on published vendor pages and independent 2026 pricing guides at time of writing. Buildertrend replaced published tiers with volume-based quotes in 2026; ranges shown reflect the most recently reported list prices. Competitor features vary by tier — several capabilities marked available are restricted to their higher-priced plans. Always confirm current pricing directly with each vendor.

From the field

Builders who did the math.

★★★★★

"We were quoted $799 a month plus a $1,200 onboarding fee. Opus had our whole crew — all eleven of us — running the same afternoon we signed up. The invoice still makes me laugh."

MR
Marcus R.Custom home builder · 11 people
★★★★★

"My clients think I hired an office manager. It's the portal — they approve change orders from their phone and the contract comes back signed before I'm off the job site."

DK
Danielle K.Renovation contractor · 4 people
★★★★★

"Per-seat pricing meant every apprentice I hired cost me another $60 a month in software. On Opus I added six field guys this year and my bill didn't move a dollar."

Fair questions

The stuff you'd ask on the sales call
we don't make you book.

Their pricing pays for sales teams, demo pipelines, onboarding departments, and quote-negotiation staff. Ours doesn't — you sign up yourself, set up in an afternoon with our templates, and the product does the convincing. We built Opus lean on purpose so the price could stay honest. Volume, not margin, is the business model.

Your rate is locked at the price you sign up at, for as long as you stay subscribed. We watched what renewal-day price hikes did to builders' trust in this industry — that playbook is precisely what we're running against. And your data exports anytime, so you're never a hostage.

Nobody counts as a seat, because there are no seats. Office staff, field crew, subcontractors, and clients all get access at no cost. Clients don't even need an account to sign a contract — they sign right in the browser from a secure link.

No teaser mechanics. $49.99 is the price in month one, month twelve, and month sixty. There's no second tier hiding the features you actually need, no "contact sales" plan above it, and no onboarding invoice on its way.

Most builders run their first real project the same day. Opus ships with schedule, budget, punch list, contract, and email templates built for residential construction — you pick your build type, adjust, and go. If you get stuck, support is included for everyone, not sold as a package.

Yes — CSV and spreadsheet import for contacts, cost catalogs, and budgets, plus guided migration docs for the major platforms. And the door swings both ways: full data export is available on every account, always.

Keep the software.
Keep the $8,000 too.

Try Opus free for 14 days with your whole team. If it doesn't run your projects better than the platform charging you ten times more, walk away — no contract, no cancellation call, no hard feelings.
