JobTread review

JobTread is built around the money side of a build: an estimate turns into a budget, change orders update that budget, and job costing compares it with what was actually spent. The menu covers estimating with takeoff and a cost catalog, bid requests, purchase orders and work orders, AIA payment applications, sub and vendor billing and customer invoices. Field crews get tasks and scheduling, daily logs, time tracking and forms, and clients get a portal with selections, allowances, messaging and online payments. Pricing is simple: $199 per month includes one internal user and every feature, extra internal users cost $20 each per month for users 2 to 10, and annual billing saves 20%. Vendors, subcontractors and customers use free external portals, and some field crew can be added free if they only upload photos, log notes and check schedules. We compared documented features and published prices; JobTread ranks first because its single plan covers budgets, change orders and scheduling that rivals split across tiers.
