BiltOn vs Eyrus

Two jobsite workforce and access platforms with different emphases. BiltOn calls itself a safety intelligence platform: worker onboarding, 3D facial recognition at digital turnstiles, credential checks and real-time headcount feed safety routines and AI-powered risk scoring for risk and insurance teams, with a two-way Procore sync. Eyrus is worksite access control and workforce management: registration, onboarding, badges, turnstiles and zone access, time tracking sent to payroll, and site security, with an AI assistant called Lens in private beta. Neither publishes prices. Desk research from vendor pages read Oct 28, 2026; not tested, no winner.

What it doesSafety and site-operations platform for owners and general contractors that ties verified worker identity and site access to daily safety routines. It offers crew safety visibility, safety compliance management and preventative risk intelligence, turning worker and site safety data into closed-loop safety workflows tied to each worker and site. Re-read Oct 18, 2026: workforce features include SMS or QR self-onboarding, 3D facial recognition access control, digital turnstiles, real-time headcount and credential checks; safety features include mandatory pre-task plans with supervisor sign-off, permits that cannot be bypassed, a JHA library, multilingual toolbox talks with 200+ topics, and forms aimed at OSHA recordkeeping and NYC DOB requirements. The homepage and Risk Prevention module now describe AI-powered risk scoring, predictive dashboards and EMR optimization, so the label changed from Not AI-first to AI features added. It syncs attendance to the Procore Daily Log every 15 minutes and states SOC 2 Type II, TLS 1.3 and AES-256 encryption (vendor statements). Re-read Oct 19, 2026: unchanged in substance; the integrations page still names Procore only (attendance to the Daily Log every 15 minutes, PTP, JHA and toolbox talk PDFs attached to the Daily Log, orientations and credentials, inspections to Procore Documents, contractor sync). Re-checked Oct 20, 2026: homepage unchanged in substance (digital onboarding, site badging and real-time headcount; pre-task plans, toolbox talks, JHAs, permits and observations; AI-powered risk scoring, predictive dashboards and AI-triggered alerts). Re-checked Oct 22, 2026 (rendered pages): homepage, platform and safety and compliance pages unchanged in substance (self-onboarding, 3D facial recognition access, digital turnstiles, real-time headcount and credentials; mandatory pre-task plans, permits that cannot be bypassed, JHA library, multilingual toolbox talks with 200+ topics, OSHA and NYC DOB forms; AI risk scoring, predictive dashboards and EMR optimization). The integrations page now shows an Autodesk tab beside Procore, and the platform page mentions an open API with two-way Procore and Autodesk sync; the Procore details are unchanged (attendance to the Daily Log every 15 minutes, safety forms attached as PDFs, orientations and credentials, inspections to Procore Documents), and Autodesk details did not render in our read. Outcome, savings and recovery figures and customer quotes are vendor material and not used. Re-checked Oct 24, 2026 (rendered pages): homepage, pricing and integrations pages unchanged in substance (digital onboarding, site badging and real-time headcount; pre-task plans, toolbox talks, JHAs, permits and observations; AI-powered risk scoring, predictive dashboards and EMR optimization; Procore tab still details attendance to the Daily Log every 15 minutes, safety forms attached as PDFs, orientations and credentials, inspections to Procore Documents and contractor sync, beside an Autodesk tab). Re-checked Oct 26, 2026 (rendered homepage): unchanged in substance (digital worker onboarding, site badging and real-time headcount; verified safety routines with OSHA and DOB compliance tracking; AI-powered risk scoring, predictive dashboards and audit-ready reporting).Construction worksite intelligence platform for worker onboarding, time tracking, jobsite access control, payroll timesheets, messaging and reporting. Modules cover worker registration and onboarding (trade, company, certifications, multilingual videos/docs, signatures, background checks), time tracking (worker app check-in, foreman tap, BLE badges/readers, kiosks, hand scanners), access-control software and hardware (badges, turnstiles, vehicle gates, zone permissions, subcontractor sub-access), automated timesheets for payroll systems, SMS group messaging, and reporting (headcounts, workhours, certifications, fatigue, local wage & regulations, portfolio dashboards). Can also staff registration, badging, visitor management and related on-site roles. Pricing page describes consultative proposal: base software monthly plus hardware purchase or lease; no dollar amounts listed. The pages we read do not lead with AI, so we tag it Not AI-first. Re-checked Oct 19, 2026: the site navigation also lists video surveillance, conditions monitoring, worksite productivity analytics, evacuation and mustering, and an A.I. construction site assistant. Re-checked Oct 20, 2026: the homepage now leads with Lens, which Eyrus calls a field-ready A.I. worksite assistant that answers questions and sends recurring reports and alerts by text message, email or chat, and promotes Eyrus Security as a site-specific mix of technology, personnel and logistics; the workforce page describes BLE beacons and badges read at entry/exit points and work zones, and zones that can track different wage rates. The AI tag stays Not AI-first because registration, time tracking and access control remain the core of the product. Re-checked Oct 22, 2026: homepage, workforce and access control pages unchanged in substance. The Lens page (read Oct 22, 2026) describes Lens as a team of AI agents working on top of Eyrus data, reached by text message, email or in-app chat, that answers headcount and labor-hour questions, schedules recurring reports and alerts and points out trends; each project has its own email address and phone number and an allow list of users recorded in Eyrus, which Eyrus says the agents cannot bypass. Lens is in private beta. The AI tag stays Not AI-first. Re-checked Oct 24, 2026: unchanged (Lens still in private beta; the Lens page is at eyrus.com/lens-construction-site-ai and says each project has its own email address and phone number with an allow list of users recorded in Eyrus). Re-checked Oct 26, 2026: unchanged (homepage leads with Lens; Lens still in private beta, answering by text, email or in-app chat with a per-project allow list the agents cannot bypass; Eyrus Security still promoted).

Where the vendor descriptions differ

  • Core job: BiltOn's platform page splits into Workforce Management (SMS or QR self-onboarding, credentials and orientations, digital turnstiles and access control, real-time headcount), Safety Management (pre-task plans, toolbox talks, field observations) and Risk Management. Eyrus's workforce page covers worker registration, onboarding and training (certifications, multilingual videos, signatures, background checks), time tracking by app, digital badge, Bluetooth or access control, and timesheets sent to payroll systems; its access control page sells software, hardware and personnel for badges, multi-level permissions, zones and turnstiles, gate arms and doors.
  • Safety versus payroll: BiltOn ties attendance to verified safety routines and audit-ready reporting, and lists EMR optimization and carrier negotiation support in its risk module. Eyrus leans on time and payroll data and site security; it also lists video surveillance, conditions monitoring and a workforce safety system in its menu.
  • AI: BiltOn is tagged AI features added to established product; its Risk Prevention module describes AI-powered risk scoring, behavioral analytics and automated intervention alerts. Eyrus is tagged Not AI-first; Lens is an assistant that answers questions about Eyrus site data by text message, email or in-app chat and is in private beta, free to beta customers, with a subscription afterward and pricing not yet announced.
  • Procore: BiltOn's integrations page says attendance, headcounts and labor hours sync to the Procore Daily Log every 15 minutes, safety forms attach as PDFs, orientations and credentials sync to worker profiles, inspections go to Procore Documents and contractors sync both ways; it also shows an Autodesk tab. Eyrus's workforce page says timesheet data goes to common payroll systems; see its integrations page for the current list.
  • Pricing (checked Oct 28, 2026): BiltOn's pricing page lists Workforce Management, Safety & Compliance Management and Risk Prevention at Scale, each Custom with Contact for custom quote, customized to project volume and complexity. Eyrus's pricing page describes a consult and a proposal, usually the same day, built from a monthly price for base software and data connections plus on-site hardware on a purchase or lease agreement, with multi-project and enterprise agreements on request. See each tool page for detail.
  • Not like-for-like: BiltOn sells site access as the front end of a safety and risk program; Eyrus sells access control, time capture and site security as the core, with hardware and personnel available from the same vendor.
  • Not used here: BiltOn's customer quote and incident-free hours figure, and Eyrus's case studies, project counts and admin-time claim (vendor material). Neither tool has been tested by Means & Methods Lab.
