Contractors look past Procore when pricing tied to construction volume no longer fits, or when they need a narrower tool than a preconstruction-to-closeout platform. Large firms compare Autodesk Forma, Trimble Viewpoint and CMiC, while smaller ones move to Fieldwire, Buildertrend or JobTread.
Visibility in our rankings can be paid for. Payment moves a vendor's position within
the shortlist; it never adds a vendor, and it never changes a word of the review or of this page. How it works:

What each alternative does differently
1. Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud)
Autodesk's connected design-to-field construction suite · United States
The nearest platform-scale rival. Autodesk's site states Construction Cloud is now part of Autodesk Forma and that product names have changed, with PlanGrid still in the menu. Expect old and new names side by side in documentation and resources while you evaluate it.
Switch from Procore if you want a connected project platform from another large vendor with a broad product line.
Pricing: Bundles (Model Management, Preconstruction, Construction Operations) or individual products, quoted on user, project or account-based terms, with a 30-day money-back guarantee. (free trial)

2. Trimble Viewpoint

Switch from Procore if your real need is job-cost accounting and payroll with project management attached.
Pricing: Quoted licensing for Vista or Spectrum ERP plus HR, field and service modules, sold as part of Trimble Construction One, typically with multi-year agreements and implementation services. (none)

5. Buildertrend
All-in-one platform for home builders and remodelers · United States
Residential-oriented, with sales, scheduling, budget, change orders, a customer portal and Takeoff for estimating. Buildertrend states it serves 20,000+ builders. Its site blocked our direct fetch, so these descriptions come from its search snippets. It suits home builders and remodelers, not commercial work.
Switch from Procore if you build or remodel homes and want clients to follow the job in a portal.
Pricing: Flat company-wide monthly plans in three tiers with unlimited users, sold after a demo rather than by self-serve signup. (none)

Switch from Procore if you are a small builder who wants estimating, CRM and job management together.

10. CompanyCam
Jobsite photo documentation for contractors · United States
Photo documentation first: capture, galleries and timelines, annotations, tags and an in-app project feed, with AI tools added. It does not try to cover RFIs, submittals or budgets. Teams often use it next to another system, so it replaces only the photo side.
Switch from Procore if you use Procore mainly for photos and field updates and want something lighter.
Pricing: Published plans: Core with one user included, Crew and Scale with three, and $29 a month for each additional user, billed monthly or annually at a discount, with a free trial; Enterprise quoted for 50+ users. (free trial)
