    Additional Details—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).

    Aconex's document control workflow allows for multiple versions of the same revision, enabling markups to be seen and document history as appropriate. This is on par with SOLIDWORKS EPDM, and is by far better than InEight's TeamBinder, as the originator and uploader of the document are able to change the version without the need for an administrator.

    Return on Investment
    Oracle
    • Reductions in print costs alone (subcontractor bid process) paid completely for the use of the product. Further benefits to all project participants included process streamlining and 100% access to all project documentation (Drawings, Specifications, Contracts, Notices of Change, Change Orders etc.) from any online source including mobile devices. Benefits probably accounted for 150% of product cost.
    • Intangible benefits included reduced exposure to claims as a result of good (and agreed process tracking).
