Q: How is INGENIOUS.BUILD pricing different from Procore?

INGENIOUS.BUILD charges a flat per-user rate — unlimited projects, unlimited project size. Procore's cost scales with your annual construction volume (ACV model), adds fees per module, and compounds with 10–15% renewal increases year over year. With INGENIOUS, a bigger project just means a bigger profit margin.

Owners, developers, GCs, owner's reps, trades — every stakeholder on your project deserves a platform built for them. INGENIOUS.BUILD connects your entire program pre-con to closeout on one platform. Predictable pricing. No workarounds.

The Real Cost of Staying

What Procore Doesn't Tell You

Pricing

Your bill grows whether you grow or not

Procore's ACV model ties your subscription to your construction volume — and renewal increases stack on top year over year. Long-term customers consistently report their effective rate doubling over time. You're not just paying more for the same product. You're locked into a model that works against you.

Connectivity

Every party on your project is an island

Procore doesn't talk to Procore. Each company on your project runs a separate instance that can't see into the others. Drawings, RFIs, and invoices still travel as manual attachments. By the time the data moves, it may already be stale — and on a live project, stale data isn't a delay. It's untracked risk.

Intelligence

Every project starts from zero

When a project closes in Procore, the data stays there. Your next project doesn't benefit from what the last one taught you — cost trends, subcontractor performance, risk patterns. There's no portfolio intelligence. Just a growing collection of closed folders your team can't learn from.

Pricing That Makes Sense

You Shouldn't Need a Spreadsheet
to Understand What You Pay.

Most construction platforms make pricing deliberately complex. INGENIOUS doesn't.

INGENIOUS.BUILD

One flat rate. No surprises.

Per-user pricing — one transparent rate based on your team size.

Unlimited projects, unlimited project size — your cost doesn't change because your portfolio grew or your projects got bigger.

External collaborators free — invite owners, subs, and stakeholders outside your org at no extra cost.

AI included in Pro — no supplemental agreement, no credits to buy.

Procore

Base fee. Then it gets complicated.

Per-module pricing — financials, quality, safety, and others are each sold separately.

ACV component — cost scales with your annual construction volume on top of base fees.

AI sold separately — Datagrid requires a signed supplemental agreement and credit consumption pricing.

Renewal increases — reported at 10–15% year over year, compounding on an already complex base.

The Difference

Know your cost on day one — and year three.

With Procore, winning a bigger project means paying more. With INGENIOUS, it just means building more.

With INGENIOUS, your renewal conversation is simple: same rate, more value as the platform grows.

With Procore, your renewal is a negotiation — against a baseline that's already higher than year one.

No "contact sales for pricing." No surprise bills. No modules to unlock. What you see is what you pay.

6–7h Saved on Manual Work & Report Gathering Per person, per day — with INGENIOUS AI enabled.

10x Process Improvement More efficient processes across the entire organization.

90% Reduction in Project Risk Live data connected across owner, GC, sub, and external collaborator workspaces — no delays, no version drift, no risk from stale information.

50% Less Administrative Work Fewer emails, meetings, follow-ups, and attachment chains.

Don't take our word for it — here's what teams who left Procore are saying, in their own words.

AI That Works For Everyone On The Project

Your AI. Your Model.
Your Data.

INGENIOUS.BUILD is the first connected construction platform with a native MCP server — so you can use Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or any MCP-compatible model to read, write, and act on real project data shared across every party on the project. No credits to buy. No separate agreement to sign. Included in Pro.

Procore Datagrid requires a signed supplemental agreement, consumes credits on every interaction including data indexing, and locks your team into a permanent cloud configuration at setup.

Got Questions?

Everything You Need to Know

The most common questions from teams evaluating INGENIOUS.BUILD as an alternative to Procore.

Simple setups can be live in under an hour. For larger organizations or custom configurations, most teams are fully onboarded within a few weeks — not months. There's no long implementation timeline holding you back.

No. You can migrate one project at a time, run INGENIOUS in parallel during your transition, or do a full cutover when you're ready. The approach is yours to decide. That said, starting new projects on a platform you're moving away from rarely makes sense — most teams find a clean switch is faster and cleaner than they expected.

Yes. INGENIOUS.BUILD supports data import so your project history doesn't stay locked in Procore.

Smaller teams can be up and running self-serve with no hand-holding required. Larger organizations get dedicated onboarding support and an assigned Customer Success Manager to guide the transition.

INGENIOUS charges a flat per-user rate — unlimited projects, unlimited project size. Procore's cost scales with your annual construction volume (ACV model), adds fees per module, and compounds with 10–15% renewal increases year over year.
