Contractor Foreman is an all-in-one construction management tool with a strong billing module, and its annual plans start at $49 per month for one user. Invoices support progress billing by dollar, percent or quantity, AIA G702 style billing and retention held, so a subcontractor always knows how much a GC is retaining. Time and material billing, tax handling and online payments sit in the same module. Job costing reports compare actual labor and material spend against the estimate, and more than 100 standard reports are joined by a drag-and-drop custom report builder. Books stay in QuickBooks or Xero through built-in integrations. Plans scale by user count: Standard at $105 for 3 users, Plus at $166 for 8, Pro at $221 for 15 and Unlimited at $332, all billed annually. There is a 30-day free trial, and Plus and above add a 100-day money-back guarantee. The main limit is that it is not a general ledger.
