| Additional Details | InEight offers a modular, integrated project controls platform. Because the InEight platform covers the entire construction lifecycle, customers purchase the software based on their specific needs – purchasing stand-alone products, a bundle of products, or the entire platform. As a result, the pricing will vary depending on the specific product, number of users and length of contract. Once InEight has identified the highest impact areas, they offer potential customers a custom proposal. The options they consider include: Per user pricing: typically annual subscriptions. Revenue-based: using a percentage of the customer’s revenue. Project-based: software use dedicated to a specific project or program of work. | Stairkey uses a simple usage-based model with a predictable ceiling. The $20/month base gives you full access to CRM, Takeoff (with a starting catalog), Estimates, Project Management (client and contractor portals, material and tool lists, change orders, job costing, and scheduling), and Invoicing — plus a $20/month activity allowance that covers your day-to-day work. Activity across the platform — creating contacts, invoices, and estimates, sending emails, uploading files, running reports, and using AI features — draws from that monthly allowance. Most small contractors stay within it. If you go beyond, additional activity is billed pay-as-you-go at low per-action rates (cents per item; AI actions range from $0.35 to $2.00), and total usage is capped at $100/month so your bill can never spike unexpectedly. Add-ons: Accounting module +$20/month (includes another $20 of allowance). Website page +$10/month. Additional users +$[10/20]/month each. Launch promotion: 50% off your base plan and add-ons for the first year (limited time). | ||||||||||||||
