ArchiSnapper vs Sitemate

Two mobile field reporting tools for different sides of a site visit. Deltek ArchiSnapper is built for architects and engineers doing construction administration: site reports, punch lists pinned to plans and branded PDF reports, with Deltek Vantagepoint and Ajera links and no AI described. Sitemate pairs Dashpivot forms for contractors' safety, quality and field records with Storm, an AI layer that drafts records from voice, photos and notes for human sign-off, at published per-user prices. Vendor pages read Oct 21, 2026; desk research, not tested, no winner.

What it doesMobile field reporting and punch list app for architects and engineers (now under Deltek Delivery Assurance). Capture photos, annotate drawings, log observations and weather, complete punch lists and checklists pinned to plans, assign deficiencies to contractors for photo/comment closeout, and generate company-branded PDF site reports in one click. Integrates with Deltek Vantagepoint and Ajera for project/client data. Vendor says more than 10,000 AEC professionals use it and cites 45 minutes saved per site report (vendor claims). Product page AI mentions point to other Deltek products (e.g. Dela AI Orchestrator), not ArchiSnapper itself, so we tag it Not AI-first. Re-checked Oct 19, 2026: the product page now offers a free 14-day trial, lists cloned forms and predefined answers for walkthroughs, and says the app runs on Android and iOS with web access; the FAQ re-confirms the Vantagepoint and Ajera integration. AI on the page still refers to other Deltek products, so the tag stays. Re-checked Oct 21, 2026: product page unchanged in substance (free 14-day trial, cloned forms and predefined answers, Android, iOS and web, Vantagepoint and Ajera integration); AI on the page still refers to other Deltek products, so the tag stays.Field data platform for construction teams: Dashpivot forms plus Storm, an AI layer that drafts reports for human review. Built for construction, infrastructure and other built-world teams, it lists Dashpivot (forms, templates and workflows for safety, quality, field reporting, time & materials), the login-free Sitemate App for front-line workers, Flowsite (no-code integrations), Gearbelt (fleet, tools & equipment), an Open API and a Sitemate MCP server with read access to Dashpivot data. Storm is the AI layer built into Dashpivot: the vendor says it drafts daily reports, permits, JSAs, ITPs and timesheets from voice notes, photos, typed notes, weather and location, builds templates from a description or converts uploaded PDF/Word/Excel/photo-of-paper forms, works in multiple languages and offline (queued until reconnect), flags low-confidence fields, and never commits a record on its own: every output is a draft for human review, signature and sign-off fields always need manual action, and admins choose which workspaces, templates and fields Storm can write to. The Storm page also lists LLM selection per workflow. The homepage calls Sitemate the "#1 Front Line AI Company for the Built World" and cites customer-story figures (e.g. 1+ hour saved per crew per day); the Storm FAQ says users cut 20-30 minutes of paperwork per day for one form. These are vendor claims. We tag it AI features added because Storm sits inside the established Dashpivot product. Re-checked Oct 19, 2026: the default pricing view (11-30 users, 1-year term, USD) still lists Standard $25.20, Pro $45.00, Premium $64.80 and Platinum $84.60 per user per month and paid Sitemate App users $10.80 / $13.50 / $16.20. The Storm page now describes Storm as purpose-trained on built-world documents, with an Updraft intake layer that maps voice, photo and location inputs to your forms, a log of every input, draft, edit and approval with a named owner, and MCP connectors that expose Storm data to AI tools such as Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot. Storm is still included on all Dashpivot plans at no extra cost. Re-checked Oct 21, 2026: pricing (rendered in a headless browser), Storm and homepage unchanged in substance; Storm is still included on all Dashpivot plans, including free trials, at no additional cost, with the Updraft intake layer and MCP connectors for Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot.

Where the vendor descriptions differ

  • Who each names: ArchiSnapper names A&E firms of any size, with architects, engineers, project managers and contractors using it for site inspections, punch lists and construction administration. Sitemate names infrastructure, civil and building contractors, trades and front-line supervisors, engineers and safety and quality teams.
  • Field capture: ArchiSnapper captures photos, drawing markups, observations and weather on Android or iOS, uses cloned forms and predefined answers for walkthroughs, and produces a company-branded PDF report in one click. Sitemate's Dashpivot runs forms, templates and workflows for safety, quality (such as ITPs), daily reports, timesheets and time and materials, with a login-free Sitemate App for front-line workers.
  • Punch lists and follow-up: ArchiSnapper pins punch list and checklist items to plan locations and assigns deficiencies to contractors, who close them out with photos and comments. Sitemate routes forms through workflows and sign-offs inside Dashpivot, with Flowsite no-code integrations, an Open API and an MCP server for reading Dashpivot data.
  • AI: Sitemate's Storm drafts daily reports, permits, JSAs, ITPs and timesheets from voice notes, photos, typed notes, weather and location, builds templates from a description or an uploaded form, flags low-confidence fields and never commits a record on its own; signatures and sign-offs stay manual, and Storm is included on all Dashpivot plans at no extra cost. ArchiSnapper's product page describes no AI for the app itself; the AI it mentions belongs to other Deltek products.
  • Office links: ArchiSnapper integrates with Deltek Vantagepoint and Ajera to pull project and client data into reports. Sitemate lists Flowsite integrations and MCP connectors that expose Storm data to tools such as Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot.
  • Pricing (checked Oct 21, 2026): ArchiSnapper lists no seat price and offers a free 14-day trial. Sitemate's default pricing view (11-30 users, 1-year term, USD) lists Dashpivot Standard $25.20, Pro $45.00, Premium $64.80 and Platinum $84.60 per user per month, with paid Sitemate App users at $10.80, $13.50 and $16.20 on Pro, Premium and Platinum; prices vary by user band, term and currency.
  • Not used here: ArchiSnapper's 10,000+ AEC professionals and 45-minutes-per-report figures; Sitemate's #1 front line AI wording and time-saved figures (vendor claims). Neither tool has been tested by Means & Methods Lab.
