Built for GCs vs built for finish trades.
Scaftra

- Room-by-room install tracking with phased workflow
- Trade-specific modules (cabinets, countertops, trim, flooring)
- Per-project pricing starting at $99/mo

Buildertrend
- GC-centric. Subs are just a line item on the schedule.
- No room-level granularity. Projects are flat.
- No trade-specific workflows or QC checklists.
- Starts at $399/mo for the features you need.
- User limits on lower tiers.
- Single-company model. Working for 3 builders means 3 logins on their systems.
