WorkPilot vs Buildertrend
Buildertrend was built for enterprise GCs. WorkPilot was built for you.

$99–$299/mo
Flat rate. No extras.
Buildertrend

Why contractors switch.
You stop paying for features you don't use.
Buildertrend bundles 40+ modules. Most small contractors use 5. You're paying $500–$900/mo for 35 modules that collect dust.
You stop rewriting estimates.
Buildertrend is still forms. You fill out the estimate, then fill out the contract, then fill out the invoice. WorkPilot writes all three from the same voice note.
Your crew actually uses it.
Buildertrend's mobile app is built for project managers in offices. WorkPilot's is built for foremen with muddy gloves. Adoption on day one beats 30-page training manuals.

Common questions.
Can I migrate my active Buildertrend jobs to WorkPilot?
Yes. CSV export from Buildertrend, one-click import into WorkPilot. We'll run through it with you on a 30-minute setup call if you want help.
What happens to my historical data in Buildertrend?
You keep access to your Buildertrend account as long as you keep paying — most teams keep it in read-only for 60 days while they transition, then cancel.
Does WorkPilot have everything Buildertrend has?
No. Buildertrend has bid requests, warranty tracking and enterprise RFPs. If you need those, stay on Buildertrend. If you're a small crew running jobs under $500K, WorkPilot is smaller, faster, and cheaper.
Is WorkPilot going to pivot upmarket like everyone else?
No. Small contractors are our only market. Our pricing, our UX and our feature roadmap are built for crews of 2–10. We don't have an enterprise tier and we don't plan to.
