CMDBLD vs Procore
Procore is powerful for large enterprise GCs, but it prices as roughly 1% of your annual construction volume, hides pricing behind a sales call, and still sends your accounting to QuickBooks. CMDBLD is all-in and published — with AI estimating and real books the incumbents don’t include.
Contractors save an estimated $274,820/year in labor with CMDBLD’s AI agents. Run your numbers →
All-in from $1,400/mo. Every feature and all 43 governed AI agents included. No volume pricing.
Quote-only; typically ~1% of annual volume (a $5M GC can pay ~$4,167/mo+) before add-ons.

Common questions
Is CMDBLD cheaper than Procore?
Almost always. Procore is priced near 1% of your annual construction volume, so a $5M contractor can pay $50,000+/year before add-ons. CMDBLD is all-in from $1,400/mo — every feature included.
Does CMDBLD replace Procore + QuickBooks?
Yes. CMDBLD includes a real double-entry general ledger, AP/AR, and reconciliation, so you do not need a separate QuickBooks subscription the way you do with Procore.
What does CMDBLD do that Procore does not?
AI that reads your plan set and prices a code-compliant estimate, estimate accuracy that learns your historical costs, and anonymized network cost benchmarking — none of which Procore offers.
One platform. One flat price.
