Compared

Evalation vs Contractor Foreman. One flat bill, not one per seat.

Contractor Foreman prices by the seat across five tiers and hands off 3D design and takeoff to a separate partner product. Evalation is one flat-fee system that puts a live 3D model on the screen itself, then rolls your CRM, estimating, project tracking, and accounting into the same login.

Who Actually Wins Here? Depends on how you sell.

Choose Evalation

Choose Evalation if...

  • You sell decks, pergolas, concrete pads, or fencing and want to design the job live on an iPad, show the homeowner a 3D model, and hand over an estimate on the first visit.
  • You want one flat bill every month and don't want to think about seat count again as you hire.
  • You want your CRM, estimating, project tracking, and accounting under one login instead of a stack of separate tools.
Choose Contractor Foreman

Choose Contractor Foreman if...

  • Daily logs, time cards, and scheduling are your primary daily workflow, and you want the lowest possible per-seat entry point to get started.
  • Your crew is small enough (1 to 3 users) to sit comfortably in a lower tier without tripping into overage seats.
  • Your close doesn't depend on showing homeowners a visual before they sign. Price isn't decided by what they see on a screen.

CORR (Company, Operations, Relations, and Revenue) is a category of business platform that runs a contractor's entire company in one system, replacing the separate CRM, estimating, project management, and accounting tools contractors traditionally stitch together. Contractor Foreman bundles several of those pieces too, priced per user. That's the real difference to weigh, not a feature checklist. Read more about the category on what CORR means.

Six Outcomes That Actually Matter. Not a checkbox war.

Outcome Evalation Contractor Foreman
Design & blueprints Evalation Lab designs a deck, pergola, concrete pad, or fence live on the iPad, in front of the homeowner. It renders a 3D model and auto-generates blueprint sheets in the same session. Lab covers those four trades today. For every other trade, Evalation leads with 5-minute AI estimates and the CRM and operations side instead of 3D design.1 Contractor Foreman has no native 3D viewer or BIM tool. Takeoff runs through a partnership with Kreo, a separate product, so 3D visualization happens outside Contractor Foreman itself, if it happens at all.2
Estimating speed A finished 3D design becomes an itemized estimate in the same sitting. The contractor can hand over a number on the first visit. Estimating and invoicing live inside Contractor Foreman's own tiers, built from templates and manual line items rather than generated from a live 3D design.2
Marketing engine Relations, the R in CORR, keeps every lead and client conversation inside the same system as design and estimating. No separate CRM login, no exporting contacts between tools. Contractor Foreman's published feature set centers on estimating, invoicing, scheduling, and daily logs. Lead information lives inside that suite, but a dedicated marketing or lead-generation engine isn't part of the tiers described in its own materials.2
Payments Accounting sits in the same system as design and estimating, so an invoice generated from an estimate doesn't need re-entry in a separate accounting tool. Payments run on Stripe. Card processing from 3.1%, bank transfer (ACH) for less. No monthly payment fees, no hidden add-ons. Invoicing itself is native, no third-party invoicing tool needed. Invoicing sits inside Contractor Foreman's estimating suite. Payment processing runs on Stripe at 2.9% plus 30 cents per transaction (contractorforeman.com/pricing, accessed September 2026).
Migration Four clicks move your data over, and your search rankings stay intact because the underlying site structure doesn't change.3 Contractor Foreman doesn't publish a self-serve import path, and a long setup process is one of the most common notes from its own users.4
Price $297/month for the first 50 founding members, locked for life. The next 500 members lock in at $416/month for life once the Founding 50 fill. No per-user fees, no seat tiers, ever.1 Priced per user across five tiers. Sources disagree on the exact numbers at every tier. See Pricing Reality below before you budget against any figure.

What You Actually Pay. One number versus five.

Evalation
Founding 50 Rate
$297/mo

Locked for life

Flat. Every user included. No seat tiers, ever. The price you join at is the price you pay for life: the next 500 members lock in at $416/month once the Founding 50 spots fill, and tiered plans follow after that (details to come).

Contractor Foreman
Per User · Directional
$49–$332/mo, per user

Not confirmed

Five tiers, Basic, Standard, Plus, Pro, and Unlimited. The exact number depends on user count, which tier you land in, and whether you bill monthly or annually.

Contractor Foreman publishes its tiers: Basic $49 (1 user), Standard $105 (3 users), Plus $166 (8 users), Pro $221 (15 users), and Unlimited $332 a month, billed annually; quarterly billing runs higher (contractorforeman.com/pricing, accessed September 2026). Prices change, so confirm current tiers on Contractor Foreman's live site before you budget against them.

Here's what doesn't need verifying: Contractor Foreman charges per user, across multiple tiers, so your bill grows every time you add someone to the account. On the published tiers, a 5-person crew needs the Plus tier at $166 a month, and a 15-person crew needs the Pro tier at $221 a month, billed annually.5 Evalation costs $297 per month for the first 50 founding members, locked for life, with no per-user fees. Hire your fifth person or your fifteenth. The bill doesn't move. That comparison shifts again once the Founding 50 spots fill and the price moves to $416 for the next 500 members, still flat, still with no per-user fees.

The migration

Leaving Contractor Foreman Doesn't Have to Cost You Your Rankings. Four clicks fixes that.

Every piece of software you've ever switched away from held your data hostage a little. Contractor Foreman is no exception on that front. A long setup process is one of the most common notes from its own users, which tells you something about how much friction there is just getting comfortable inside it in the first place.4

Moving to Evalation doesn't work that way. Your client list, your job history, and your estimates move over in four clicks. Your site structure and your search rankings stay exactly where they are, because nothing about your public-facing SEO changes in the move.

Switching software should feel like changing a tool. Not moving a business.

That's the whole idea behind the Moving Truck Guarantee. It exists to take the risk and the cost out of switching, so the decision to leave Contractor Foreman comes down to the product, not the hassle of untangling yourself from it. If it doesn't win you more jobs in 90 days, you get every dollar back and we'll move you anywhere you want to go. Free.

Questions Switchers Actually Ask. Straight answers, no spin.

How much does Contractor Foreman actually cost?

Contractor Foreman publishes its tiers: Basic at $49 for 1 user, Standard at $105 for 3 users, Plus at $166 for 8 users, Pro at $221 for 15 users, and Unlimited at $332 per month, billed annually, with quarterly billing running higher (contractorforeman.com/pricing, accessed September 2026). On those tiers, a 5-person team needs Plus at $166 a month and a 15-person team needs Pro at $221. Confirm the current numbers on Contractor Foreman's own site before you commit a budget to it.

Will my bill go up every time I add a crew member?

With Contractor Foreman, in most of the pricing breakdowns we could find, yes. It's a user-count model, so adding people moves you up a tier. With Evalation, no. The price you join at is the price you pay for life, whether that's $297/month as a Founding 50 member or $416/month once the founding spots fill. Add your fifth hire or your fifteenth, the bill stays the same.

Does Contractor Foreman have a native 3D design or blueprint tool?

No. Contractor Foreman doesn't include a native 3D viewer or BIM tool, and takeoff runs through a partnership with a separate product, Kreo. Evalation Lab designs a deck, pergola, concrete pad, or fence live on the iPad and generates the 3D model and blueprint sheets in the same session, for those four trades.

Can I import my Contractor Foreman data into Evalation?

Yes. Moving your client list, job history, and estimates over takes four clicks, and it doesn't touch your site structure or search rankings. The Moving Truck Guarantee backs the move: if it doesn't win you more jobs in 90 days, you get every dollar back and we'll move you anywhere you want to go. Free.

I don't build decks, pergolas, concrete, or fencing. Does Evalation Lab's 3D design still work for me?

Not yet. Evalation Lab's live 3D design currently covers decks, pergolas, concrete pads, and fencing. If your trade isn't one of those four, Evalation still replaces your CRM, estimating, project management, and accounting tools, and leads with 5-minute AI estimates instead of the 3D walkthrough. See what fits your trade under for general contractors.

Does Contractor Foreman include marketing or lead-generation tools?

Its published feature set centers on estimating, invoicing, scheduling, and daily logs. Lead information lives inside that suite, but a dedicated marketing or lead-generation engine isn't part of the tiers described in Contractor Foreman's own materials. Evalation keeps every lead and client conversation inside the same system as design and estimating, through Relations, the R in CORR.
