Knowify is written for trade contractors who bid, build and bill their own work, and its close link to QuickBooks is the main reason to pick it. The Core plan, $99 per month on yearly billing or $149 month to month, includes one user, estimates and proposals, fixed-price contracts billed by percent complete or by unit, change orders sent for e-signature, drag-and-drop scheduling, geofenced time tracking, task management, and unlimited documents and photos. Change orders are applied to the right billing cycle automatically, which helps avoid over or under billing. Advanced, at $329 per month on yearly billing with 10 users, adds cost-plus and time and materials contracts, subcontracts, project budgets, phase-by-phase planning, daily logs, work orders and a client portal. Extra users cost $29 per month, and a Service Pro add-on covers dispatch and service calls. We compared documented features and published prices; Knowify is a strong fit for trades, but general contractors need Advanced for budgets and subcontracts.
