BuildBook review

BuildBook is made for custom home builders and residential remodelers, and its pricing page offers a free plan with access to the sales and marketing tools, meaning the contact manager, sales pipeline and proposals. Scheduling, client selections, budgets, the task manager and progress updates for homeowners and subs are part of the paid plans. Solo costs $79 per month on an annual plan or $99 monthly for 1 user, Team $149 per month annually for 2 to 9 users, and Business starts at $279 per month for 10 or more users, each with unlimited projects, clients and subs and all features included. Extra users are $20 per month or $200 per year. For a small builder this is a sensible path: run leads and proposals free, then pay $79 when you want schedules and client updates. It is not a free daily log or punch list tool, so it ranks last for this brief.
