Pelles AI vs Wyre AI

Two AI-first tools that read drawings and specifications to catch conflicts and scope problems before work starts, sold to different buyers. Pelles AI is an AI platform for MEP and specialty trade contractors, with ready-made tools (DoubleCheck, a contradictions report, revision compare, cited answers) plus apps and agents a team builds itself. Wyre AI is preconstruction risk software for contractors and estimators: Wyre Scopes turns a document set into traceable scope packages and Wyre Check flags conflicts and gaps between drawings and specs. Partly like-for-like on document checking. Vendor pages read Nov 1, 2026; desk research from vendor sites, no winner.

What it doesAI platform pitched as an AI operating system for trade contractors ("You built a great company. Now build the AI to run it."), for estimating, contract review, operations and closeout. The navigation lists Pelles Core and Pelles Build. Pelles Core lists cited answers, deep research, revision compare and checklists (earlier pages named DoubleCheck for searching codes, specs and drawings, Compare, Workflows and Organization Agents); Pelles Build turns a workflow described in plain words into an app, and the vendor says the code behind your apps is yours. Agents can be texted, messaged in Teams or emailed and draft RFIs or changes for review; apps connect to Procore, Autodesk, Trimble, ERPs, Excel, Outlook, files and email, with a mobile app and a REST API with webhooks. The homepage FAQ says Pelles is not a takeoff tool (it reviews drawings, specs and contracts and produces deliverables such as RFI lists and contradiction reports) and lists Count & Measure (beta) for checking counts against a schedule. The security list includes SOC 2 Type II attested, AWS hosting, SSO and roles, permission-aware retrieval and isolation per project (vendor statements). It also runs a BuildAI Academy for learning AI in construction. Project, issue, page and task counters, hours-saved estimates and testimonials are not used.Turns drawings and specs into structured scopes, risk insights and traceable references to find scope gaps and reduce RFIs. It sells Wyre Scopes (organized, traceable scope packages and bid items from the full document set) and Wyre Check (AI-assisted validation that flags conflicts, gaps, inconsistencies and compliance issues between drawings and specifications), with upload, analysis, review and bid steps and color-coded outputs. Users listed: general contractors, subcontractors, specialty contractors, construction managers, estimators, preconstruction managers and architects and engineers. A site banner says it connects with Autodesk Forma and BuildingConnected (the banner's Explore integrations link returned a not-found page in our reads), and the vendor says the team are former Pype and Autodesk staff building with Autodesk, Procore, Trimble and Bluebeam integrations in mind. The footer says SOC 2 Type II compliant, and its press page announces a $5M seed round led by IronSpring Ventures (September 2026). Homepage counters, customer quotes and pilot hour estimates are vendor content and are not used.

Pricing (as publicly stated)Not publicly listed. The vendor site has no pricing or plans link, and /pricing returns a not-found page. The homepage FAQ says Pelles is priced by team or company, with unlimited usage and no per-token or usage-based billing, and answers the free-trial question with personalized demos on your own project documents (a 30-minute demo running DoubleCheck and a contradictions report on a real bid set). The call to action is Book a demo.

Where the vendor descriptions differ

  • Buyer: Pelles AI says it is built for trade contractors (MEP trades named) across precon, operations, field and back office. Wyre AI lists general contractors, subcontractors, specialty contractors, construction managers, estimators, preconstruction managers and architects and engineers.
  • Document checking: Pelles AI lists DoubleCheck and a contradictions report on a bid set, revision compare and cited answers from codes, specs and drawings, and says it produces deliverables like RFI lists. Wyre Check is described as AI-assisted document validation that finds conflicts and gaps between drawings and specifications.
  • Scopes: Wyre Scopes analyses the full document set, identifies each scope of work and delivers scope packages with references back to the drawing or spec detail behind each item. The Pelles AI pages we read do not describe generating scope packages for buyout; they describe trade checklists and deliverables in the contractor's own format.
  • Building your own: Pelles Build lets a team describe a workflow in plain words to build its own apps and agents, and agents can be reached by Teams, Outlook, Excel, text or MCP. Wyre AI offers its two products and does not describe custom apps.
  • Takeoff: Pelles AI's FAQ says it is not a takeoff tool; Count & Measure (beta) can check counts against a schedule. Wyre AI says it extracts bid items but does not describe quantity takeoff.
  • Systems: Pelles AI says it connects to Procore, Autodesk, Trimble, ERPs, Excel, files and email. Wyre AI says it now connects with Autodesk Forma and BuildingConnected and is built with Autodesk, Procore, Trimble and Bluebeam integrations in mind (vendor statement).
  • Security (vendor statements): Pelles AI says it is SOC 2 Type II attested and hosted on AWS; Wyre AI's footer says SOC 2 Type II compliant.
  • Pricing (checked Nov 1, 2026): neither publishes prices and both /pricing URLs return a not-found page. Pelles AI's FAQ says it is priced by team or company, with unlimited usage and no per-token billing; Wyre AI routes to a demo request.
  • Not used here: both vendors' project, issue and page counters, speed and hours-saved claims, investor notes and customer quotes. Facts for both tools come from vendor websites (desk research).

Paraphrased from the sources listed above. Vendor claims are reported as claims.

Good or bad, an honest review from an estimator, PM or super helps the next team more than another vendor demo. You post under a handle; your email is never shown.

Questions to ask in your review

  • Results on the same drawing and spec set: conflicts found, false flags and missed items
  • Whether Pelles AI can produce buyout scope packages, or Wyre AI handle trade-specific MEP checks
  • What a pilot and an annual license cost for each
  • What did you use it for, on what kind of work and project size?
  • How long did setup and training take, and who on your team did it?
  • What does it cost you in practice, compared with what the sales call said?
