Eyrus vs HammerTech

Two jobsite platforms that both register workers and control who is on site, built from different starting points (our reading). Eyrus starts from site access and presence: worker registration, badges, turnstiles and BLE readers, automatic timesheets, video and security, with staffing and hardware it can supply, plus Lens, an AI assistant in private beta. HammerTech starts from the safety program: orientations, JHAs, pre-task plans, permits, inspections, observations and incidents, with site access as one module and AI built into several safety workflows. HammerTech lists an Eyrus integration, so the two can also run together. Desk research from vendor pages read Oct 24, 2026; not tested, no winner.

What it doesConstruction 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).Construction safety platform for subcontractor management, worker orientations, safety plans, permits, inspections, incidents and site access. Modules listed cover subcontractor management, worker orientations, JHAs, SDS, safety plans, pre-task plans, permits, safety meetings, logistics, equipment compliance, inspections, observations, incidents, daily reports, and site access. Lists HammerTech Intelligence and promotes AI for safety. Vendor says it was built by former safety professionals; PCL is featured as a customer. Re-read Oct 18, 2026: the HammerTech Intelligence page says AI is embedded in SDS autofill, pre-task plan meeting capture, observation photo recognition and site diary summaries, drafts summaries and reports inside the workflow, and keeps every output transparent and editable, with people making the safety decisions. Its integrations page lists HammerTech Sync for Procore (projects, subcontractors and locations in; labor hours and worker counts out to the Procore Daily Log), Autodesk project and subcontractor sync, CMiC and Sage Intacct, facial recognition turnstiles, Eyrus, Kwant, Acumatica, LUMA1 and an open API. Re-read Oct 19, 2026: the Intelligence page lists the same four workflows and says the AI is trained on safety process context such as permits, hazards and inductions (vendor claim); the pricing page says HammerTech is built for commercial and infrastructure contractors managing multiple job sites. Re-checked Oct 21, 2026: homepage unchanged in substance (one safety platform for inductions, pre-starts, incidents and reporting; no per-seat fees; HammerTech Intelligence surfaces risks and automates safety reporting). Customer counts and quotes are vendor content and not used.

Pricing (as publicly stated)No public prices on the pricing page (checked Oct 16 and Oct 19, 2026): eyrus.com/pricing describes a consult-and-proposal process (learn the project and worksite, recommend solutions, proposal usually the same day); pricing components are base software and data connections (monthly price) and on-site hardware, physical barriers, readers and IoT (purchase or lease). No figures. Multi-project and enterprise agreements on request. Confirm current pricing with the vendor. Re-checked Oct 20, 2026: unchanged (same consult-and-proposal process, monthly base software and data connections plus hardware on purchase or lease, no figures). Re-checked Oct 22, 2026: unchanged (consult-and-proposal process; monthly base software and data connections plus hardware on purchase or lease; no figures). The Lens page says Lens is free to customers in the private beta and will carry a subscription cost after the beta, with pricing not yet announced. Re-checked Oct 24, 2026: unchanged (consult and proposal, usually the same day; monthly base software and data connections plus hardware on purchase or lease; Lens free during the beta, then a subscription, pricing not announced).No paid prices listed (checked Oct 16, 2026; re-checked Oct 18 and Oct 19, 2026). The pricing page says HammerTech does not use per-user pricing (unlimited users); pricing is based on the scale and complexity of your operations, including annual construction volume and the number of active job sites, company size and the level of onboarding and support required, and all core workflows are included rather than sold as modules (implementation, onboarding, training, support, integrations and security included). Its FAQ says HammerTech is free for subcontractors, with access provided by the general contractor managing the project. The page says it is not the right fit for very small teams, single projects or basic checklists. GC pricing is tailored ("Get Pricing Details"). Confirm current pricing with the vendor. Re-checked Oct 21, 2026: still no prices. The pricing page now lists three factors: annual construction volume, company size and operational complexity, and level of onboarding and support required; the number of active job sites is no longer named. Unlimited users, all-in-one pricing (not modules) and the not-the-right-fit list are unchanged; the FAQ answers did not expand in our read. Re-checked Oct 22, 2026: unchanged (no dollar prices; priced on three factors with unlimited users; the FAQ names annual construction volume and the number of active job sites; free for subcontractors). Re-checked Oct 23, 2026: still no prices (no per-user pricing; priced on annual construction volume, active job sites, company size and operational complexity and the level of onboarding and support; all core workflows included; free for subcontractors with access provided by the GC).

Where the vendor descriptions differ

  • Starting point (vendor pages): Eyrus calls itself a worksite intelligence platform and lists worker registration and onboarding (trade, company, multilingual videos and documents, custom fields), time tracking (worker app check-in, worker app or digital badge tapped against a foreman app, kiosks, hand scanners, BLE badges and readers), access control (badge printing on site, access levels, schedules and zones, sub-access permissions for subcontractors, turnstiles, gate arms, doors), SMS group messaging, video surveillance synced to access logs, evacuation and mustering, and reporting. HammerTech calls itself one construction safety platform and lists subcontractor management, worker orientations, JHAs, SDS, safety plans, pre-task plans, permits, safety meetings, equipment compliance, inspections, observations, incidents, daily reports and site access.
  • Hardware and people: Eyrus says it can supply the physical side of access control (turnstiles, vehicle gates, readers, IoT) on purchase or lease, and can staff registration, timesheet and compliance reporting, emergency monitoring and evacuation roles. HammerTech's integrations page lists facial recognition turnstiles and access-control partners, including Eyrus, rather than supplying hardware itself in the pages we read.
  • Where the AI sits: Eyrus Lens is a team of AI agents on top of Eyrus data, reached by text message, email or in-platform chat, that answers headcount and labor-hour questions, schedules recurring reports and alerts and points out trends; Eyrus says each project has its own email address and phone number with an allow list, and Lens is in private beta. HammerTech Intelligence is built into existing workflows: SDS autofill, pre-task plan meeting capture, observation photo recognition and site diary summaries, with drafts that stay editable and people making the safety decisions (vendor statements).
  • Connections: HammerTech lists HammerTech Sync for Procore (projects, subcontractors and locations in; labor hours by trade partner and worker counts out to the Procore Daily Log) and an Eyrus integration for worker activity and site conditions. Eyrus says its timesheets go to common payroll systems and its access logs can feed reporting across a portfolio.
  • Pricing (checked Oct 24, 2026): neither publishes dollar prices. Eyrus prices by consultation and proposal (usually the same day): base software and data connections as a monthly price, plus on-site hardware, barriers, readers and IoT on purchase or lease; Lens is free during the private beta and will carry a subscription after it. HammerTech does not charge per user; it prices on annual construction volume, active job sites, company size and complexity and the level of onboarding and support, includes all core workflows, and is free for subcontractors with access given by the GC. Its pricing page says it is not the right fit for very small teams or single projects. HammerTech's worker count, ENR badge and customer quotes, and Eyrus's customer quotes and time-saving lines, are vendor content and are not used here.
