Procore vs SiteLive: when each one fits

This is not a competitor takedown. They are different shapes of tool. Here is how we honestly see it.

What Procore is

A full construction-management platform. Document control, RFIs, submittals, financials, drawings, BIM, the lot. Designed for tier-1 contractors running multi-hundred-million-pound jobs with dedicated software champions on staff.

Fits when: you have the budget, the team, and the IT support to roll it out across an enterprise.

What SiteLive is

A focused tool for the daily reality of running a site: scheduling subcontractors, plant and deliveries; running a 2-week lookahead; logging the site diary; tracking who turned up.

Fits when: you want the scheduling and site-logistics piece to just work, without a 6-month rollout and a five-figure annual contract per site.

Where they overlap

Both handle scheduling, both handle a diary of sorts, both have a mobile app.

Where they differ

• Setup time. Procore is weeks. SiteLive is the same afternoon.
• Subbies. SiteLive subcontractors join free and respond by email — no logins to chase. Procore needs every party seated and licensed.
• Price. Procore is enterprise. SiteLive is 29 per site per month.
• Scope. Procore wants to be your everything. SiteLive wants to be your scheduling and logistics, and play nicely with whatever else you use.

How to choose

If you need a single system of record for every document on a mega-project, Procore. If you need the scheduling and lookahead piece to be sharp, simple, and live by Monday, SiteLive.

Plenty of teams run both.
