Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Procore cost per year?
Procore pricing is based on annual construction volume. Small contractors ($5M–$20M volume) pay $40,000–$75,000/year. Mid-market ($20M–$100M) pays $75,000–$150,000/year. Enterprise (>$100M) pays $150,000–$200,000+/year.
Can custom software replace Procore?
Yes for specialty and sub-contractors. A custom construction management platform costs $40,000 to build with $3,000/year maintenance. Over 5 years: $52,000 vs $200,000–$1,000,000 for Procore. General contractors with complex multi-stakeholder projects may retain Procore for external collaboration while building custom internal tools.
What are the limitations of Procore?
Procore is designed for large general contractors. Specialty contractors, subcontractors, and trades often pay for features they never use. The construction volume pricing model penalizes business growth, and customization is limited to Procore configuration options.
