PRICING TRANSPARENCY
1% of revenue on Commerce. Core is included.
Procore hides pricing behind sales calls and charges based on project volume. Buildertrend charges $99-599/month per subscription tier. Calisto is free to set up. Core carries no additional cost. Commerce is a 1% revenue share. Every other suite is priced per app in the Marketplace. No per-unit fees, no enterprise contracts. You pay when you earn.

WHAT THEY CANNOT DO
Construction ends. Sales is the business.
Construction management tools track builds. But the revenue comes from selling. Lot inventory, buyer CRM, proposals, marketing, and buyer portals are what make a development profitable, and neither Procore nor Buildertrend offers them.
Visual Lot Map & Inventory: See the Whole Development
Procore tracks buildings. Buildertrend tracks projects. Neither shows your entire development as a visual lot map with real-time status. Calisto renders your lot parcels, streets, amenities, model homes, and sales center on an interactive SVG map. Each lot shows availability, pricing, construction phase, and buyer assignment at a glance, and is one click from the lot to the buyer profile to the deal.
Buyer CRM & Sales Pipeline: Built for Developers
Procore has no CRM. Buildertrend has a basic homeowner directory. Calisto provides a full sales pipeline for property development: buyer registration from the website and from model home visits, lot interest tracking and reservation management, proposal generation, purchase agreement e-signatures, and automated nurture campaigns. Every buyer touchpoint is tracked from first visit to closing.
Marketing & Lot Releases: Not a Separate System
Neither Procore nor Buildertrend has marketing tools. You use Mailchimp for emails, social media manually, and a separate website for lot availability. Calisto Studio runs automated marketing campaigns: lot release announcements, construction milestone updates to buyers, model home open house invitations with RSVPs, and closing celebration emails. All from the same platform that tracks your buyers and lots.
Collect deposits and draws. Your way.
Procore and Buildertrend have no integrated payment processing. Buyer deposits, progress draws, and contractor payments go through separate systems. Calisto connects to 75 payment gateways: collect deposits, process progress payments, and handle disbursements all in one platform.

Switching questions
Can Calisto replace Procore for construction management?
Calisto covers project scheduling, milestone tracking, budget management, subcontractor coordination, quality inspections, and punch lists. For large-scale commercial construction with deep RFI/submittal workflows, Procore remains stronger. But for residential development where the goal is building and selling, Calisto provides construction management plus the entire sales toolkit that Procore lacks.
How does the visual lot map work?
Calisto's Seat Designer in lot-map mode lets you draw your entire development: lot parcels, streets, amenities, model homes, sales centers, and building footprints. Each lot element links to inventory, pricing, and buyer data. The map renders as interactive SVG with real-time status updates: available lots in one color, reserved in another, under construction in a third, sold in a fourth.
Does Calisto handle progress billing and draws?
Yes. Calisto tracks construction milestones with associated draw schedules. Progress invoicing generates automatically at each milestone. Buyers (or their lenders) receive draw requests through the buyer portal. Payment collection happens through any of 75 supported gateways. Everything syncs to QuickBooks or Xero.
What about warranty management after sale?
Calisto tracks warranty items through Assure (inspection checklists) and Ops (work orders). Buyers submit warranty requests through their Navigator portal. Your team receives, triages, and dispatches warranty work orders. Subcontractors get assigned with scheduling. The entire warranty lifecycle is tracked in one system.
How does pricing work for a 200-lot development?
The same way it works for a 20-lot development. Core is included with every account, Commerce takes 2% of revenue processed, and Operations adds 1%. Three percent of collected revenue covers buyer CRM, proposals, e-signatures, marketing, buyer portal, construction tracking, inspections, and all 71 products. No per-seat fees, no per-unit license, no annual escalation, no surprise add-ons. The 200-lot development pays more than the 20-lot one only because it collects more.
How does pricing work?
Setting up costs nothing and no card is required. You get full access to all 71 products with no feature restrictions. Core carries no additional cost. Commerce is a 1% revenue share. Every other suite is priced per app in the Marketplace.
Why do you charge a percentage of revenue?
Because it makes us partners, not a vendor. A flat subscription means your software company collects the same fee in your best month and your worst. A revenue share means we only grow when you grow. Slow month or off-season? Your bill scales down with you.
