Do You Need an Entire Construction Platform?

JobTread manages everything from takeoffs to purchase orders to client portals. That's a lot of software to learn and pay for. If you're a solo contractor or small crew, you need one thing: real-time profit visibility on every job.

Per-User Pricing Adds Up

JobTread charges $20/month per internal user. Even a 3-person crew pays $60/month — and the cost scales as you grow.

Built for Full Construction Mgmt

Takeoffs, purchase orders, daily logs, client portals, eSignatures — powerful but complex for a contractor who just needs profit tracking.

More Than You Need

If you're not doing takeoffs, managing subcontractors, or running purchase orders, you're paying for features that sit unused.
