Honest comparison

Procore is a Ferrari. You need a pickup truck.

Procore is a fantastic product — for general contractors managing concrete pours, RFIs, and six-figure change orders. If you're an FF&E installer or furniture dealer, you're paying $10K+ a year for features you don't use and missing the three features you actually need. Cleat is built for the last 5% of the job: pin, sign, closeout.

“We used Procore for two years because our GC mandated it. When the GC kicked us out 30 days after substantial completion, we still owed the dealer a closeout package — and we couldn't get our own photos out.”

When Procore is actually right

Stay on Procore if you're the GC

If you are a general contractor, or you're running a $50M+ construction-adjacent operation, or you need full RFI and submittal workflows tied to an ERP — stay on Procore. It's a great tool for that job. Different tool, different job, different price. Cleat isn't for you, and that's fine.

Frequently asked

Our GC mandates Procore. Can we use both?
Yes, and most dealers do. Use Procore to collaborate with the GC. Use Cleat for your internal punch, your dealer closeout package, and anything that outlives your 30-day GC access window. They're not competing — they cover different parts of the job.
Procore has a mobile app too. What's different?
Procore's mobile app is a window into a GC-centric system. Cleat is a PWA designed mobile-first around three taps: photo, pin, assign. No training video required. Hand it to a 55-year-old installer-owner and he'll use it correctly on the first job.
What about data import from Procore?
We can walk you through pulling punch items, photos, and floorplans out of Procore when you migrate a project. Reach out and we'll help you scope the move.
Is $29/mo actually enough for a real crew?
Starter is for solo installers. Most crews land on Pro at $99/mo (five seats, unlimited projects). Dealers usually run Team at $299/mo. That's still less in a year than a single month of Procore.
