A Fieldwire alternative for teams whose job is the punch list

Is there a simpler Fieldwire alternative for punch lists?

Yes. If your team uses Fieldwire mainly for punch lists rather than drawings, RFIs or submittals, PunchList Business covers that job on its own: shared projects across separate devices, offline capture that syncs when back online, branded PDF reports, and US$15 per user per month billed annually. It has no drawings or plan pinning, so teams that work on the blueprints are better served by Fieldwire.

What Fieldwire does well

Fieldwire is a capable platform, and some teams should stay on it. These are the strengths you would give up by switching.

• Punch items live on the drawings. Fieldwire says any deficiency can include a location on the blueprints plus photos, checklists, categories, hashtags and due dates. PunchList has no drawings or plan pinning; each item carries a written location instead.
• It grows into project management. The Business plan adds custom forms, app integrations and a BIM viewer; Business Plus adds RFIs, submittals, change orders and budgets.
• There is a free plan for small teams: Fieldwire Basic costs nothing for up to 5 users, 3 projects and 100 sheets.
• Paid plans include reports and exports, and Fieldwire's iPhone, iPad and Android apps support mobile editing even when offline.

Where PunchList Business is the simpler fit

PunchList Business does less than Fieldwire on purpose. It is built for teams whose deliverable is the punch list and the handover report.

A lower price per seat for the punch list job

PunchList Business is US$15 per user per month billed annually, or US$19 monthly, with every feature on every seat and discounts from 10 seats. Fieldwire's Pro plan, its first paid plan with reports and exports, lists at US$39 per user per month billed annually.

Built for the walk, not the office

Items and photos are captured on the phone, offline if need be, and synced to the team when you are back in signal. There are no sheets to upload or drawings to keep current before the first walk.

Separate sign-ins and simple roles

Each person signs in with a work email and a one-time code on their own device. Owners and admins manage members, seats and projects; members capture, assign and close out.

A report the client can read

PDF reports come in a detailed layout with a page per item or a compact table, with your logo, contact block and accent color and never a watermark. Photos also export as a ZIP of plain JPEGs.

Buying without a sales call

Subscribe on the website through Stripe. Invoices carry your company name, address and VAT or tax ID, and purchase-order invoicing is available from 25 seats.

When Fieldwire is still the right tool

Switching only makes sense if you would otherwise pay for features your crew does not use. Stay with Fieldwire if any of these is true:

• Your punch items have to be pinned on the drawings, or your team relies on sheet compare and as-builts.
• You run RFIs, submittals, change orders or budgets in the same system.
• You need custom forms, app integrations, a BIM viewer, SSO or API access.
• Your team is five people or fewer on three projects or fewer, and the free Basic plan covers what you do.
