Contractor Foreman is construction project-management software with a Gantt scheduler, crew scheduling, time cards, estimates, AIA-style progress invoicing and QuickBooks integration, priced per company from $49/mo (Basic, 1 user, billed annually) to $332/mo (Unlimited users, billed annually) (contractorforeman.com/pricing/). BCTM covers customers, estimates, jobs, crew calendars, worker time, invoices and payments with a $0/month software subscription. The choice mostly comes down to whether you run construction projects that need Gantt schedules and AIA billing, or service work where the job, the invoice and the payment are the whole loop.

A genuine Contractor Foreman strength BCTM concedes.
Contractor Foreman is the stronger choice for construction project work: its Gantt chart scheduler, AIA G702/G703 progress invoicing with retention tracking, cost-code time cards and QuickBooks Online and Desktop integration are genuine advantages that BCTM does not offer (contractorforeman.com/pricing/). BCTM is the better fit for service contractors and small crews who want estimates, jobs, crew calendars, invoices and card/ACH payments in one app without a monthly subscription, and who do not need Gantt scheduling or AIA billing. Contractors whose general contractors require AIA-style pay applications should choose Contractor Foreman or a similar construction tool.
On annual billing, Contractor Foreman runs from $49/mo (Basic, 1 user) to $332/mo (Unlimited users). Quarterly billing starts at $132/mo for Standard.
The published annual plans are Basic $49/mo (1 user), Standard $105/mo (up to 3 users), Plus $166/mo (up to 8), Pro $221/mo (up to 15) and Unlimited $332/mo, priced for the company rather than per user (Contractor Foreman pricing). BCTM has no subscription: $0/mo — no subscription and no per-user seats, and you pay 3.9% + $0.30 (1% BCTM platform fee + 2.9% + $0.30 Stripe) on card payments and 1.8% (1% BCTM platform fee + 0.8% Stripe, Stripe portion capped at $5.00) on ACH only when a customer pays.
Its pricing page lists a 30-day free trial and paid plans; no free plan is listed.
You are not charged until the trial ends (Contractor Foreman pricing). BCTM has no trial because there is no subscription to convert to.
Contractor Foreman. Its Gantt scheduler, AIA-style progress billing and retention tracking are built for that; BCTM does not have them.
BCTM handles deposits and milestone invoices for multi-stage jobs, which covers many remodel and repair projects, but it does not produce AIA G702/G703 pay applications or a Gantt schedule (Contractor Foreman pricing).
2.9% + $0.30 for Visa, Mastercard and Discover; 3.9% + $0.30 for Amex; ACH 1% + $0.30 capped at $10.00 (US only).
Those rates apply on top of the subscription (Contractor Foreman pricing). BCTM's card rate is 3.9% + $0.30 (1% BCTM platform fee + 2.9% + $0.30 Stripe) with no subscription. BCTM's card rate is 1 percentage point higher, so BCTM costs less until 1% of your monthly card volume exceeds the subscription you would otherwise pay.
