Tenvia Build vs Contractor Foreman
Thirty-five features for the price of lunch, versus a smaller set that's deep enough to run the job's money on.
The short version: Contractor Foreman is the budget champion, with an enormous feature list at published prices from $49/mo, with a 100-day guarantee. The trade-off its own reviews describe: shallow depth, unreliable time tracking, and a dated interface. Tenvia Build does fewer things, namely contracts, bidding, costing, and holdback billing, deeply enough to actually run the job on.
