JobTread vs Contractor Foreman

• Who each names: JobTread lists home builders, remodelers, pool and outdoor living builders, roofers, specialty contractors and commercial contractors. Contractor Foreman pitches small and mid-size general and specialty contractors and says it is built for everything short of the downtown skyscraper (vendor wording).
• Built-in AI: JobTread's AI page lists AI Estimating and an AI Budget Builder, AI Form Builder, AI Plan Import & Count Tools (names, numbers and scales plan sheets and counts repeated items), AI Daily Log Summaries, AI Formula Builder, AI Writing Assistant, AI Autofill for its Web Clipper, AI Receipt Scanning, an AI Support Assistant and AI Report Builder. Contractor Foreman's plans page describes Takeoffs where you upload plans, measure and can have a conversation with the built-in AI, with quantities kept connected to the estimate; its daily logs are described without AI.
• Outside AI tools: JobTread's AI Connector runs through a JobTread MCP server so ChatGPT, Claude and other assistants can create estimates, build schedules, pull selections and takeoff quantities and analyze account data; the page warns AI can make mistakes, says connected AI acts with your account permissions, and its FAQ says you need your own AI provider. The Contractor Foreman pages we read do not describe a connector for outside AI tools.
• Daily logs and field: Contractor Foreman's Daily Logs record subs, visitors and crews on site, automatic weather, material deliveries and usage (marking materials delivered updates related purchase orders) and equipment activity, with photos auto-filed to the project folder and templates that control what clients or owners see. JobTread includes daily logs, time tracking and scheduling, adds AI Daily Log Summaries, and lets field crew who only upload photos, log notes and view schedules join as free users.
• Money side: JobTread lists estimating, takeoff, contracts and e-signatures, budgets, change orders, job costing, purchase orders, AIA payment applications, payments and customer and vendor portals. Contractor Foreman lists estimating with bulk and line-item markups, job costing reports, AIA-style G702/G703 progress invoicing with retainage and Stripe invoice payments with published card and ACH fees.
• Pricing (checked Oct 21, 2026): JobTread is $199 a month including one internal user, then $20 a month per user for users 2 to 10, $15 for 11 to 20, $10 for 21 to 30 and $5 for 31+ ($16, $12, $8 and $4 on the annual plan, which it says saves 20%); portal users and photo-and-notes field users are free; no contract or setup fees; no free trial, with a 30-day money-back guarantee on monthly plans. Contractor Foreman billed annually (shown per month) is Basic $49 (1 user), Standard $105 (up to 3), Plus $166 (up to 8), Pro $221 (up to 15) and Unlimited $332; month to month it is $139, $199, $279 and $399 (Basic annual only), with a 30-day free trial and a 100-day money-back guarantee on annual plans. Its Daily Logs page FAQ says unlimited users with no per-user charges, which does not match the user caps on its plans page; we follow the plans page.
