BuildersBridge vs Handoff
Handoff is an AI-first estimating platform that has grown into project management: estimates built from uploaded scopes, voice notes and site-walk photos, AI proposals with up to five options, AI takeoff on residential plans on its top tier, client and subcontractor portals, invoicing with online payments, and two-way QuickBooks Online sync. It prices against a built-in US cost database. BuildersBridge drafts estimates from a written description, optionally with one attached plan or photo, as editable lines whose costs you check, and is built around Canadian and US tax and job costing with purchase orders.
Every BuildersBridge plan includes your whole crew — 15 users on Team, 25 on Growth and 50 on Pro.
Flat pricing, no per-user fees: about $26 per user per month on Growth, in CAD or USD.
Handoff: tiered, with users included and AI credits
Flex $119/month billed annually ($149 monthly), 2 users, 50 AI credits a month. Pro $239/month billed annually ($299 monthly), 5 users, unlimited AI, 12-month commitment. Scale $719/month billed annually ($899 monthly), adds AI takeoff on residential plans up to 7,000 sq ft, a subcontractor portal, and API and MCP access, 12-month commitment.
