The plans
What Buildxact charges
Buildxact charges US$199 to $599 a month depending on the plan you pick, running up to US$7,200 a year on the top tier. The bill climbs because job costing and other core features you actually need sit in the higher-priced plans rather than the entry level.
Foundation
US$199 a month
The entry-level plan, cheapest monthly price but the least included.
Pro
US$399 a month
The middle plan, priced above Foundation to add on the features most builders need next.
Master
US$599 a month
The top plan, US$7,200 a year, where the features most builders actually need sit.
How the bill is built
A subscription that climbs plan by plan
Buildxact runs Foundation, Pro and Master plans at US$199, $399 and $599 a month. The features most builders actually need, like full job costing, sit in the higher tiers, so the bill grows along with your needs.
Job costing gated to the top plans
Budget vs actual and work-in-progress reporting, the reason most builders buy the software in the first place, are held back for the pricier plans. The core reason for buying it is sold as an upgrade rather than a basic feature.
Paying yearly to read your own jobs
The takeoff tool earns its keep at quote time, but you keep paying for the whole suite twelve months a year just to keep looking at your own jobs, claims and costs, long after the estimate is finished.
Dashboards built for the vendor's questions
Lead boards, job screens and report menus show what the vendor decided to chart. A simple Tuesday question, like which claim is overdue or which budget line is over, means hunting through reports rather than reading a sentence.
A year of Buildxact
Up to US$7,200 a year, plan depending
Buildxact's own pricing page puts the top plan at US$599 a month, or US$7,200 a year, with the entry plan at US$199 a month, US$2,400 a year. The wider family climbs further still, with Buildertrend's top plan passing US$13,000 a year for much the same handful of records: clients, jobs, budgets, costs, purchase orders, variations, claims and subcontractors.
Underneath the bill
What you are really paying for
Screens over your own job records
You pay to look at your own clients, jobs, budgets and claims through the vendor's screens and report menus, built around the questions Buildxact chose to chart rather than the ones you actually ask on a Tuesday.
Features held back for higher plans
Job costing, budget vs actual and other core reporting sit behind the pricier Pro and Master tiers. The tool you actually bought the software for is priced as an upgrade rather than included from the start.
Access to your own history, rented
Years of jobs, claims, variations and cost history live inside Buildxact's system, reachable only through the exports it allows. The record that should outlive any subscription instead depends on you staying a paying customer.
The owned alternative
Your own records, run in plain language
Enterprise DNA builds a version of Builders for Claude Code around how your business runs, brings your Buildxact data across from its own exports, and runs it for you. There is one setup fee, then a monthly retainer, no per-seat pricing. If you would rather run it yourself, a free version is available, with your records kept in a database you own rather than behind a vendor's login.

Questions
Buildxact pricing, answered
Does Buildxact's price include job costing and reporting? expand_more
Not on every plan. Buildxact's job costing and budget vs actual reporting sit in the higher tiers, so the features most builders actually buy the software for often mean paying for Pro or Master rather than the entry-level Foundation plan.
Why do similar tools cost even more than Buildxact? expand_more
Buildxact sits in a wider family that includes tools like Buildertrend, whose top plan runs past US$13,000 a year for much the same handful of records: clients, jobs, budgets, costs, purchase orders, variations, claims and subcontractors. Holding those records is not what costs that much.
Is there a cheaper way to keep the same job records? expand_more
Yes. Builders for Claude Code keeps the same kind of records, clients, jobs, budgets, claims and subcontractors, in a database you own rather than behind a monthly plan. Enterprise DNA can build and run a version for you for one setup fee and a monthly retainer, or you can run the free version yourself.
