Top Recommended Replacements
Fieldwire (Basic Plan)
FREEBest for Procore 'Field' Replacement
Why we like it
The #1 free alternative for the job site; handles plan viewing, tasks, and punch lists for up to 5 users and 3 projects; includes 100 sheets of blueprint storage.
Keep in mind
The 100-sheet limit is strict; you must delete old projects to stay free; custom forms (Daily Reports) are locked behind the Pro tier.
OpenProject (BIM Edition)
Best for General Project Mgmt
Why we like it
A powerful open-source PM tool that includes a BIM viewer (IFC models) and BCF issue tracking; handles Gantt charts, budgeting, and cost reports for $0.
Keep in mind
Requires self-hosting for the full free experience; the interface is more 'IT-focused' than 'Construction-focused'.
ERPNext (Construction)
Best for Procore 'Financials' Replacement
Why we like it
100% free open-source ERP; includes a dedicated 'Construction' domain for managing Project Budgets, Timesheets, and Bill of Quantities (BOQ).
Keep in mind
Requires a server setup (Docker/Linux) to run for free; steep learning curve for non-technical users.
Methvin
FREEBest for Estimating & Takeoff
Why we like it
Replaces Procore's Estimating module; allows for online takeoff, pricing, and tender management; free for a single user with unlimited projects.
Keep in mind
Interface is utilitarian; collaboration features require a paid 'Business' plan.
Odoo (Project App)
FREEBest for Office Management
Why we like it
The 'One App Free' plan gives you a robust Project Management suite with Kanban boards and timesheets; unlimited users for free.
Keep in mind
If you add a second app (like 'Accounting'), you lose the free status; Odoo's native 'Construction' features are basic without community plugins.
STACK (Free Account)
FREEBest for Quick Takeoffs
Why we like it
Cloud-based viewing and takeoff tool; perfect for sub-contractors who need to bid on a few projects a month without buying Procore.
Keep in mind
Free tier limits the number of active projects and concurrent takeoffs.
Raken (Free Trial / Lite)
Best for Daily Logs
Why we like it
The gold standard for daily reporting; much faster and easier for superintendents than Procore's bulky app; 'Lite' plans are available for smaller teams.
Keep in mind
No permanent 'Free' tier for the full feature set; strictly focuses on logs/safety, not full project management.
OrangeScrum
FREEBest for Task Management
Why we like it
Excellent for agile construction teams; handles resource allocation and sub-tasks; open-source version allows for complete data control.
Keep in mind
Lacks native blueprint integration or 'RFI' specific workflows.
ProjectLibre
Best for Scheduling
Why we like it
A free alternative to Microsoft Project and Procore's Schedule tool; handles WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) and critical path analysis.
Keep in mind
Desktop-only software (no mobile app); scheduling data is siloed from your field photos.
Buildertrend (Alternative)
Best for Residential
Why we like it
While paid, it is a flat monthly fee rather than volume-based; much cheaper than Procore for home builders; includes a client portal.
Keep in mind
Still a significant monthly cost; less suited for heavy commercial construction.
Google Drive + Xodo
FREEBest for 'Unlimited' Plans
Why we like it
The ultimate 'Hack': Host plans on Drive, view/mark them up with Xodo (Free); zero sheet limits; cloud syncing for the whole team.
Keep in mind
No automatic hyperlinking of callouts; version control relies entirely on your folder discipline.
LetsBuild (Aproplan)
FREEBest for Snagging/Punch Lists
Why we like it
Designed for European compliance but works globally; excellent free tier for managing defects and punch lists on small projects.
Keep in mind
Project size limits on the free plan; less known in the US market.
