Doxel vs OpenSpace

Two computer-vision progress tracking tools built on 360 site walks. Doxel is a progress tracking product: you send the BIM model, walk the site with a hard-hat 360 camera, and it measures work-in-place by trade, system and stage, feeding schedule, earned value and pay applications. OpenSpace is a broader visual record platform (photos, video, 360 walks, drones) whose progress tracking, OpenSpace Track, is sold as an add-on and says no BIM is required. Vendor pages read Oct 22, 2026; desk research, not tested, no winner.

What it doesAutomated progress tracking: computer vision measures work-in-place by trade, system, and stage against the plan from hard-hat 360 camera walks. You send BIM, walk the site with a 360 camera mounted to a hard hat, and Doxel measures the work in place. Product features listed include a rules-of-credit engine for % complete, progress by zone/trade/system, schedule mapping with language models, drone imagery for early phases, earned-value / pay-app support, and portfolio views. Vendor claims 11% faster project delivery, 16% reduction in monthly costs, and 95% less time tracking progress, with setup in less than 2 weeks (vendor claims, not verified). Re-checked Oct 21, 2026: homepage unchanged in substance (hard-hat 360 camera walks, computer vision measuring work-in-place by trade, system and stage, setup in less than 2 weeks with no VDC work for your team). The 11%, 16% and 95% figures are still shown and remain vendor claims. Re-checked Oct 22, 2026: the homepage headline now reads Physical Intelligence for Construction, with the same send-BIM, hard-hat 360 walk and computer-vision steps; the product page adds an Utilities Underground Tracking tab (progress from underground to finished buildout using drone imagery), and the site menu now lists solutions by stakeholder (owners, project executives, superintendents, BIM and VDC) and by industry (data centers, health care, life sciences, manufacturing, semiconductors, oil and gas) plus a Touchplan partnership page. The 11%, 16% and 95% figures remain vendor claims and are not used.Visual intelligence platform that turns site photos, video, 360 walks and drone flights into one visual record, with add-on progress tracking. Captures include photos, video, voice notes, 360 walks, and drone flights, with plan and model comparison, issue and RFI resolution, BIM coordination, and AI workflows. Progress tracking is sold as OpenSpace Track, an add-on: vendor describes AI-powered tracking with humans in the loop, 700+ visual components across 200+ schedule tasks, schedule support for P6, MS Project, Asta, and Excel, no BIM required (a model can be added), and progress reports 24-48 hours after capture; it says imagery is ready in 15 minutes on average and a 25,000 sq. ft. capture typically takes 10 minutes (vendor claims). Integrations named: Procore, Autodesk, Revizto. Vendor cites 77 billion square feet captured and 132 countries served (vendor claims). Re-checked Oct 20, 2026: the homepage now calls it the Visual Intelligence Platform, organised as Capture, Coordinate and Act (spot schedule risk earlier, automate routine work with AI and connect field data to business systems); it still names Procore, Autodesk and Revizto integrations and the 77 billion square feet and 132 countries figures (vendor claims), and lists OpenSpace at Procore Groundbreak 2026 in Orlando (Oct 20). The Track page still describes AI tracking with humans in the loop, 700+ visual components across 200+ schedule tasks, no BIM required and imagery ready in 15 minutes on average (vendor claim). Re-checked Oct 22, 2026: homepage unchanged in substance (Visual Intelligence Platform organised as Capture, Coordinate and Act; Procore, Autodesk and Revizto integrations; the same 77 billion square feet and 132 countries figures, vendor claims), with a Waypoint 2026 on-demand banner and AI Agents & APIs and Data Centers pages in the navigation (not read); the Track page still describes AI tracking with humans in the loop, no BIM required, imagery ready in 15 minutes on average (vendor claim) and P6, MS Project, Asta and Excel schedule support. Customer-story percentages not used.

Pricing (as publicly stated)Not publicly listed. Pricing FAQ (re-checked Oct 16 and Oct 19, 2026) still says cost depends on the capabilities you need and the amount of construction you do or the size of the jobsite, and that Doxel generally charges by the square foot. The page also says users are unlimited (not charged by the seat) and that Doxel can be used on a single jobsite. Quotes on request; no prices shown. Earlier note (Oct 15, 2026): Not publicly listed. Pricing FAQ says cost depends on the capabilities needed and the amount of construction (or jobsite size), and that Doxel generally charges by the square foot; quotes on request. Re-checked Oct 21, 2026: the pricing page still says Doxel does not charge by the seat, integrates with P6, Procore and Autodesk, and offers a demo or an instant quick quote; the FAQ answers did not expand in our read, so the per-square-foot basis was not re-confirmed today. Re-checked Oct 22, 2026: no price change. The pricing FAQ was readable today and again says Doxel generally charges by the square foot, with cost depending on the capabilities needed and the amount of construction or jobsite size; users are unlimited, a single jobsite is fine, and setup is under 2 weeks.Quote-based. Pricing page re-checked Oct 16 and Oct 19, 2026 (unchanged; multi-year subscriptions are offered): Core and Enterprise subscriptions with no prices. Core lists unlimited capture across projects of any size, capture from any device (phones, 360 cameras, drones), BIM comparison and guided onboarding; Enterprise adds SSO, OpenSpace APIs and enterprise services and support; OpenSpace Track is a subscription add-on to either. The quote form says you can ask about a Core pilot before buying. Earlier note (Oct 15, 2026): Quote-based. Vendor says pricing is based on annual construction volume (ACV) and subscription tier (Core or Enterprise), not per user or per project; Enterprise adds SSO and API access; OpenSpace Track is an add-on to either tier, sold at the project or portfolio level and priced on project type and scope tracked (Track FAQ). Annual subscriptions can cover a single project, and a Core pilot can be requested. No prices listed. Re-checked Oct 20, 2026: unchanged (Core and Enterprise with no figures; Enterprise adds SSO and OpenSpace APIs; Track is an add-on to either; the quote form still offers a Core pilot). Re-checked Oct 22, 2026: unchanged (Core and Enterprise priced on annual construction volume and tier with no figures; Track an add-on to either; Core pilot on request; multi-year and single-project subscriptions); the FAQ also says all subscriptions include onboarding and support and that additions during a contract are prorated and co-termed.

Where the vendor descriptions differ

  • How progress is measured: Doxel compares 360 imagery with the BIM model and applies a rules-of-credit engine for percent complete, with a 3D progress view, BIM-to-photo comparison, daily production tracking and schedule mapping using language models; it now lists utilities underground tracking from drone imagery. OpenSpace Track describes AI with humans in the loop across 700+ visual components and 200+ schedule tasks, with no BIM required (a model can be added) and reports 24 to 48 hours after capture.
  • Scope: Doxel is focused on progress, production and payment (earned value and pay applications). OpenSpace's core product is a visual record across captures with plan and model comparison, issue and RFI resolution and BIM coordination, with Track layered on top.
  • Schedules and integrations: Doxel names Primavera P6, Procore and Autodesk integrations and a Touchplan partnership. OpenSpace Track supports P6, Microsoft Project, Asta and Excel schedules, and OpenSpace names Procore, Autodesk and Revizto integrations.
  • Pricing (checked Oct 22, 2026): neither publishes prices. Doxel's FAQ says it generally charges by the square foot, depending on capabilities and the amount of construction or jobsite size, with unlimited users, single-jobsite use allowed and setup in under 2 weeks. OpenSpace prices on annual contract value and tier rather than per user or project, with Core and Enterprise subscriptions, Track as an add-on priced on project type and scope, single-project and multi-year terms, and a Core pilot available.
  • Who and what they cover: Doxel lists owners, project executives, superintendents and BIM and VDC teams, with data centers, health care, life sciences, manufacturing, semiconductors and oil and gas among its industries. OpenSpace's pricing page describes Core as unlimited capture across projects of any size from any device (phones, 360 cameras and drones).
  • AI tags: both are tagged AI-first.
  • Not used here: Doxel's delivery, cost and time figures, OpenSpace's square footage, country and return figures, and both vendors' customer quotes (vendor material). Neither tool has been tested by Means & Methods Lab.
