Fieldwire, now owned by Hilti, is one of the best field-first tools in construction — plan viewing and markup, task management, punch lists, and jobsite forms, with real RFI and submittal tracking built in. If your core need is coordinating drawings and field work, it does that cleanly, and it publishes simple per-user pricing. Jobsite covers the same field workflows and goes wider: a true critical-path schedule, AIA financials, a bilingual OSHA training and certification engine, and a safety-compliance suite — the whole job on one platform. Pick Fieldwire if plan-and-task field management is all you need alongside your other systems; pick Jobsite if you want field work, safety, training, and financials to live together.
Quick comparison

Pricing: both published, different shapes
Fieldwire publishes its pricing: a free Basic plan (capped at 5 users, 3 projects, and 100 sheets), then Pro at $39 per user per month billed annually ($54 monthly), Business at $59 per user per month annually ($74 monthly), and Business Plus above that. (Competitor pricing as of July 2026.) It's clean, per-user, and easy to start.
Jobsite prices differently in kind, not just in amount: $300/month for Safety Suite or $600/month for Full Suite, plus $1 per worker-session-day — charged only on a day a field worker actually opens the app for job work, never for a named seat sitting idle — all on the pricing page. The bigger difference is scope: Jobsite's subscription includes the full safety, training, and financial suite, not just field coordination.
Where Fieldwire is genuinely strong
Fieldwire is built for the field, and it's very good at it. Its core covers plan viewing and markup, as-built drawings, task management, punch lists, quality and safety inspections with photo documentation, and customizable forms like daily reports and timesheets. It also includes dedicated RFI and submittal tracking with recipient routing, overdue filtering, and PDF export — so it's more than a task app. For a superintendent or foreman who mainly needs drawings and tasks in one place on a phone or tablet, Fieldwire is a mature, well-liked tool, backed by Hilti since its roughly $300M acquisition in 2021.
Where Jobsite goes further
- Real scheduling, not a task board. Fieldwire's scheduling is a calendar/Gantt view with manpower assignment — it's task-centric, not a full critical-path engine. Jobsite ships a true CPM schedule that computes float and flags the critical path, and imports Primavera P6 (.xer) and Microsoft Project (.xml) files.
- Financials Fieldwire doesn't have. Fieldwire's feature set covers plans, tasks, forms, and inspections; it isn't a financial platform. Jobsite adds budgets, contracts, change orders, and AIA G702/G703 pay apps that are auto-derived and won't let a line over-bill, plus WIP.
- Training and safety, built in. Jobsite adds a bilingual OSHA-aligned course library with automatic certificate issuance and renewal tracking, behavior-based safety observations, OSHA 300/300A/301 incident forms, and an inspector-grade AI compliance audit.
- A bilingual worker app that works offline, for US crews with Spanish-speaking field workers.
When Fieldwire is the better fit
- Field teams whose main need is plans and tasks — markup, punch lists, and drawing management on mobile.
- Subcontractors and GCs who already have scheduling and accounting elsewhere and just want field coordination.
- Buyers who want a genuinely useful free tier to start small.
- Hilti-tooled crews who value the tighter Hilti ecosystem.
When Jobsite is the better fit
- Contractors who need safety and training built in — OSHA courses, cert issuance, observations, and incident logs.
- Teams that need real scheduling and AIA financials, not just a task/Gantt view.
- US crews with Spanish-speaking workers who need a bilingual, offline worker app.
- Buyers who want one platform for field, safety, training, and financials — see the pricing page.
FAQ
Is Jobsite a Fieldwire alternative?
Yes. Jobsite matches Fieldwire on field workflows — plans, tasks, punch lists, inspections, RFIs, and submittals — and adds a true critical-path schedule, AIA financials, and a bilingual OSHA training and certification engine that Fieldwire doesn't include.
How much does Fieldwire cost versus Jobsite?
Fieldwire has a free Basic tier and paid plans from $39 per user per month (Pro, annual) and $59 (Business, annual), as of July 2026. Jobsite is $300/month for Safety Suite or $600/month for Full Suite, plus $1 per worker-session-day, billed only on days a worker actually opens the app for job work rather than per named seat — and Jobsite includes safety, training, and financials in that price.
Does Fieldwire have a critical-path schedule and pay apps?
Fieldwire's scheduling is a task/Gantt view with manpower assignment, not a full CPM engine with float, and its published features don't include AIA G702/G703 pay applications. Jobsite ships both a critical-path schedule and auto-derived AIA pay apps.
Does Fieldwire include OSHA training?
Fieldwire's safety features are inspections and checklists; it does not ship an OSHA-aligned training course library with certificate issuance and renewal tracking. Jobsite includes a bilingual OSHA-aligned course library and issues certificates automatically on completion.

About the author
The Jobsite Editorial Team — Construction safety & OSHA compliance
The Jobsite Editorial Team writes the safety and compliance library behind Jobsite, the construction safety, OSHA compliance, and training platform for contractors. Every article starts from the primary regulatory text — the CFR section itself, not a summary of it — and is fact-checked against that source before it publishes, so what you read here is what the standard actually requires of small and mid-size contractors in the field.
