Top Recommended Replacements

Fieldwire (Basic Plan)

FREE

Best 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

FREE

Best 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)

FREE

Best 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)

FREE

Best 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

FREE

Best 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

FREE

Best 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)

FREE

Best 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.
