Contractor Foreman review

Contractor Foreman tries to give small contractors the toolset of a large platform at a much lower price. Its feature directory lists 48 items, including change orders that update contract amounts and feed job costing, bid management that turns a winning bid into a purchase order or subcontract, crew scheduling with automatic reminders, daily logs, submittals, drawing markup, forms and checklists, and a client portal for schedules, approvals and invoices. Accounting connects to QuickBooks or Xero, payroll to Gusto, and payments run through Stripe. The Basic plan costs $49 per month for one user on annual billing, then plans step up by team size: Standard for up to 3 users at $105, Plus for up to 8 at $166, Pro for up to 15 at $221 and Unlimited at $332 per month on annual terms. Paying month to month costs more and starts at $139. We compared documented features and published prices; Contractor Foreman scores highest on value because change orders, budgets and scheduling start well below the other platforms.
