What percentage of construction software hides pricing?

55%—that's 313 of 570 vendors checked manually. No prices until sales chat.

Do most construction software tools have mobile apps?

Nope, only 45%. Rest assume office laptops, ignoring muddy job sites.

Just 9%, about 50 tools. Zero in preconstruction, BIM, takeoff—Excel rules there. Word count: 942.

Half of construction software won't show you a price until a salesperson pounces. I dug into 570 tools to expose the real market mess.
