Back to homevs. Buildertrend

Looking for a Buildertrend alternative? Meet WorkTrac.

If you're a field crew that needs mobile-first time tracking, full offline support, and safety tools without paying project-management prices, WorkTrac is the focused, affordable alternative. Built for the crew on site, not the office managing the build.

Frustrations that drive teams to look for something better

Paying for project management you don't need

If your priority is time tracking, crew scheduling, and invoicing, a project management platform is overkill. WorkTrac focuses on the features field crews actually use every day.

Desktop-first, mobile-second

When the platform was designed for a desktop browser and the mobile app came later, field workers feel the friction. WorkTrac was built for phones first.

Limited offline capabilities

Partial offline that only covers scheduling or clock in/out isn't enough on a new build site with no WiFi. WorkTrac's offline mode covers every feature.

No safety features

If your crew faces heat, storms, or hazardous conditions on site, your workforce software should help. WorkTrac includes SOS relay and automatic climate alerts.

Builder-focused, not multi-trade

If your platform was built for home builders and remodelers, it's not optimized for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, landscaping, or delivery crews. WorkTrac works across trades.

No proof-of-work documentation

Standard job photos don't hold up in disputes. Without GPS stamps, timestamps, and tamper evidence, it's your word against theirs.

What sets WorkTrac apart

Full offline, not partial

New build site with no WiFi? Every WorkTrac feature works offline. Clock in, edit tasks, take photos, capture signatures.

Mobile-first, not mobile-adapted

Designed for phones from day one. Your crew uses it on site with one hand, not at a desk managing project timelines.

Tamper-evident documentation

Every photo is GPS-stamped and cryptographically chained. Verifiable proof of work, not just images in a folder.

Worker safety built in

SOS relay and climate alerts come standard. OSHA-aligned thresholds, automatic weather warnings, one-tap emergency alerts.

Multi-trade, not builder-only

Construction, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, landscaping, delivery. WorkTrac works for any crew that leaves the office to do the job.

Starts at $29/mo

Three flat-rate tiers with no per-user pricing. Enterprise is $149/mo for up to 30 users, month-to-month, cancel anytime.
