Pricing

Plans

One flat price while the office is small. One seat price once it isn't.

Buy seats for the people who work in the job. The office is a flat price up to three people, then a per-seat price after — never both at once. The field is a flat pack, and viewers are free, always. Billing and scheduling depth beyond your first project are priced separately — see add-on modules below.

1–3 office users

Starter

The whole office, while it's three people or fewer

$24.99/mo flat
  • Every register: budget, billing, draws, payroll, invoices
  • The pipeline: estimates, work orders, clients
  • Full billing and scheduling depth on your first project
  • Invites viewers onto any job it runs

One flat price for the whole office, not per person, up to three people. The day a fourth office person joins, every office seat — including these first three — becomes a $49.99 Full seat. There is no month where some pay Starter and some pay Full.

4th office user and up

Full seat

PMs · estimators · accounting · ownership

$49.99/user/mo
  • The money: budget, billing, draws, payroll, invoices
  • The pipeline: estimates, work orders, clients
  • Handover package and full portfolio export
  • Invites viewers onto any job it runs

What every office seat becomes once the office passes three people — all at once, not one at a time. At least one full seat holds the company, sets the plan and issues every invitation below.

First five field seats free

Field crew pack

Superintendents · foremen · crews

$0/mo

Your first five field seats are free, then $3.99 a head. Never billed per seat inside the pack.

  • Every field and office register
  • Raises RFIs, works submittals, closes punch
  • Drawings, files, photos and printed reports
  • No budget, no billing, no invoices — anywhere
  • Invites viewers onto the jobs it works

The money is not hidden from a field seat by a setting somebody can switch off. Those tabs are not built for it. A crew of twenty is free for the first five and $59.85 for the other fifteen at $3.99 each — $59.85 a month total.

Always free

Viewer

Owner · architect · inspector · lender

$0forever
  • Reads the projects they are invited to, and nothing else
  • Drawings, RFIs, submittals, photos, schedule
  • Unlimited, on every plan
  • Never counted against your paid seats
  • Writes nothing, anywhere

By invitation only. A viewer seat cannot be bought or self-created. It exists only when someone holding a paid seat invites that person onto a specific job, and it ends when they withdraw it.

Month to month. No annual commitment.

Add and drop seats as crews come on and off the job. Nothing locks you in, and there is no term to serve out.

Or pay the year up front and take 15% off.

$254.90 a year for Starter and $509.90 for a Full seat — against $299.88 and $599.88 paid monthly. The field crew pack itself is free either way. Field seats beyond the first five are $40.70 a year against $47.88. It is a discount for paying early, not a contract.

When billing opens, every plan renews automatically until you cancel — monthly each month, annual each year. We will remind you at least 30 days before an annual renewal, cancelling will be one click inside the account, and any price change takes effect at the start of your next term and never the one you have paid for. Saying it here, before there is anything to charge, is the point.

Add-on modules

Two are free on your first project. All three, cheaper together.

Cost & Billing and Scheduling & CPM run at full depth on one project per account at no extra cost — the module is what carries that same depth to a second project and beyond. Controls is different: the earned-value and CPM engine underneath it runs in every plan, on every project, always. What Controls itself adds is forecasting, portfolio roll-up, export and single sign-on.

Cost & Billing

Portfolio-wide budget, billing, draws, payroll

$99.99/mo
  • Full depth on every project, not just the first
  • Budget, commitments, change orders, draws, payapps
  • Payroll and invoicing, portfolio-wide

Free and fully functional on one project per account. This module is what carries it to the second.

Scheduling & CPM

Portfolio-wide schedule and critical path

$129.99/mo
  • Full depth on every project, not just the first
  • Critical-path scheduling across the whole portfolio
  • Interchange formats in, printed reports out

Free and fully functional on one project per account. This module is what carries it to the second.

Controls

Forecasting · portfolio roll-up · export · SSO

$399.99/mo
  • Forecasting on top of the earned-value engine every plan already has
  • Portfolio-level roll-up across every job
  • Full export and single sign-on / audit

The earned-value and CPM engine itself is never behind this module — every plan gets it, on every project, at any account size. This is the depth on top of it: what it forecasts to, what it rolls up to, and who else can sign in to see it.

All three, flat

Complete

Cost & Billing, Scheduling & CPM and Controls

$599.99/mo flat
  • All three modules, one line on the invoice
  • Not a computed discount off buying them separately
  • The default we show once a selection reaches three modules

A flat price, on its own line — not a percentage taken off buying the three modules separately. If you're running all three, this is simply the number.

Running all three modules? $629.97/mo bought separately vs $599.99/mo for Complete — save $29.98/mo.
This is the comparison we show automatically, on this page and at checkout, the moment a selection reaches three modules. Complete is the highlighted default — buying the three separately stays available, and nothing here is forced.

Same month-to-month terms as seats.

Add or drop a module as the portfolio grows past one project, or shrinks back to it. Nothing locks you in here either.

Or pay the year up front and take 15% off.

$1,019.90 a year for Cost & Billing, $1,325.90 for Scheduling & CPM, $4,079.90 for Controls and $6,119.90 for Complete — against $1,199.88, $1,559.88, $4,799.88 and $7,199.88 paid monthly. Same discount, same terms, as the seats above.

Questions

Everything people ask before they ask for a price.

If yours is not here, put it in the request form and we will answer it directly.

The product

What is Jig?

One platform that runs a construction job end to end — schedule, budget, billing, drawings, RFIs, submittals, daily logs, punch, equipment and closeout — and produces the documents the job owes as it goes, rather than as a separate exercise at the end of the month.

Who is it for?

Contractors who run jobs, from two people to a hundred — custom and production home builders, remodelers, general contractors, design-build firms, construction managers at risk and specialty trades. A job carries only the modules it needs: a house does not get a certified-payroll tab, and a federally funded fit-out does. Nothing is switched on to make the screen look busy.

Does it replace my accounting software?

No, and it should not. Jig tracks what the work costs and what you are owed — budget, commitments, change orders, applications, draws, retainage. It does not keep your general ledger, cut checks or file your taxes. It exports cleanly so your bookkeeper is reading numbers instead of retyping them.

Can I run more than one company in it?

Not yet. Today an account holds one company and as many projects as you like. Running several companies, or a joint venture where two firms share a job, is being built and is not far off. If that is how you are structured, say so when you request access — it affects where you sit in the queue.

Does it work on a phone in the field?

It runs in the phone browser — nothing to install, nothing for a superintendent to keep updated — and the camera is wired into the registers that need evidence. A field seat sees ten tabs, with drawings and daily logs near the top and no money anywhere, so the first screen they open is the one they came for.

What can it open without downloading?

Twenty-nine of them: drawings and documents, spreadsheets, plain text, photographs, video and audio. A submittal is read beside the spec section it answers; a photograph is looked at on the punch item it proves. No round trip through anybody's downloads, and no second copy loose on a laptop where the next person cannot find it.

What about offline?

Not yet, and we would rather say so than imply otherwise. Working offline properly means resolving the conflict when two people edited the same job in the same basement, and that is a structural piece of work rather than a checkbox. It is the next major thing being built, and it is being built once.

Is there an API, or does it connect to other systems?

No API today. Everything comes out — every register, every report, the whole portfolio — so nothing is trapped, but there is no interface for another system to write into Jig yet. It is on the list, behind offline. We would rather ship one honest integration than five that half work.

Licenses and price

How does licensing work?

Per person, per month, with two flat exceptions. The office is Starter at $24.99 a month flat, for up to three people, then Full seat at $49.99 per person once a fourth office person joins — never both at once. The field is a crew pack: your first five field seats are free, then $3.99 a head. A viewer is free and reads only. There are no editions within a seat — if you hold one, you have every feature at that level. Deeper billing, scheduling and reporting live in separate add-on modules — see the pricing page's module section.

Who can invite a viewer, and what does it cost?

Nothing, ever, and only a paid seat holder can issue one. A viewer seat cannot be bought and nobody can create one for themselves: it comes into existence when a full or field seat holder invites that person onto a specific job, it reaches only that job, and it ends when the invitation is withdrawn. There is no cap on how many you invite.

The reasoning is plain. The faster an owner, an architect or an inspector can see the job for themselves, the fewer emails you write — so charging for them would be charging you to do your own chasing.

Do I pay per project, or on contract value?

Not for people. You pay for the people who work in the software, and that price does not move because you won a bigger job. The one exception is the Cost & Billing and Scheduling & CPM add-on modules, which are free on your first project and priced once you run a second — see the next question.

What happens when we add a 4th user?

Every office user moves to the $49.99 Full seat — there's no in-between state where some pay Starter pricing and some pay Full. Field crew and Viewer seats aren't affected.

Do I need the Cost & Billing or Scheduling & CPM module?

Not for your first project — both are fully functional on one project at no extra cost. The module unlocks using either one across your whole portfolio, once you're running more than one project.

What does the Controls module add, if earned value is already included?

Earned value and CPM scheduling are in every plan, on every project, always. Controls adds forecasting, portfolio roll-up, export, and single sign-on/audit — depth, not access.

Should I buy modules individually or get Complete?

Any two modules plus a third separately comes to $629.97/mo. Complete includes all three for $599.99/mo flat — if you're using three modules, Complete is simply cheaper.

Is there a free trial?

While Jig is by invitation, the pilot is the trial. Pilot accounts are not charged while the pilot runs, the prices above take effect when it ends, and requesting access asks you for nothing but the seven fields on the form.

At general sale it becomes a 14-day trial that asks for a card up front. We would rather say that now than surprise you with it later. The card is not charged during the trial; it converts to the monthly price on day 15 unless you cancel, we email you three days before that happens, and cancelling is one click inside the account — not an email to anybody.

A card is asked for because a trial that does not ask for one fills up with accounts nobody intends to keep, and the cost of carrying them lands on the people who do.

Is there a contract or a minimum term?

No. It is month to month, with no annual commitment, and the price you see is the price. You can raise or lower your seat count as crews come on and off — construction is not a flat headcount and the billing should not pretend it is.

If you would rather pay a year up front, you can, and it takes 15% off — seats and modules alike: $509.90 a year for a Full seat, against $599.88 paid monthly. The field crew pack is free either way. Field seats beyond the fifth are $40.70 a year against $47.88. That is a discount for paying early, not a contract — nothing about it locks you in for longer.

When billing opens, either plan renews automatically until you cancel, because a tool you run a job on should not switch itself off mid-job. We will remind you at least 30 days before an annual renewal, you will cancel with one click inside the account rather than an email to anybody, and a price change only ever applies to the next term — never the one you have already paid for.

What happens if I stop paying?

The account goes read-only. Nothing is deleted when you stop paying, nothing is held hostage, and you can open every job and export everything for twelve months. After that we may delete it, with notice. Your OSHA logs stay five years and your certified payroll three, because the law says so — and your safety records stay editable that whole time, even on a closed account, because the law requires that log to be kept current and not merely kept. Construction is cyclical; a quiet season should not cost you your record.

Getting started

How long does setup take?

A job with a schedule and a budget to bring across is usually running the same day. The long pole is not the software, it is deciding what your divisions are called and who is allowed to see what — and we will sit with you for that rather than leave you in a help center.

Can I bring the job I already have?

Yes. The program comes across in any of three scheduling interchange formats, and sixteen registers load from a spreadsheet — each handing you a template with the right headers first, so mismatched columns are caught before they land rather than after.

Do you do the setup for me?

During the pilot, yes, and at no charge. Your first job gets brought in with you on the call. It is the best defect-finding we have.

Is there training?

There is no training course, deliberately. A superintendent should be able to open the daily log and understand it without a class; where that is not true, that is our defect, not their gap. We will walk your team through the first cycle and then get out of the way.

Security, data and support

Is my data mine?

Yes, and you can prove it today rather than taking our word for it — the export is in the product, it needs no request and no waiting period, and it produces the whole portfolio in formats other software can read. If it ever stops working we treat that as urgent, because a tool you cannot leave is a tool you cannot trust.

Who can see my job?

The people you license, and the people they invite. Nobody else — not another customer, not a subcontractor you have not added, and not someone who used to work for you and still has an old link. Access is checked where the data lives rather than where the screen is drawn, which is the difference between a rule and a hope. Security & your data sets out exactly how.

Are there limits on projects, files or storage?

No limit on projects, on how many people you license, or on how long records are kept. Individual files upload to 15 MB each, which covers drawings, scans and site photography; if you are storing something larger than that, tell us what it is, because we would rather fix the limit than have you work around it.

Is Jig certified?

Not yet, and we are not printing badges we have not earned. There is no audit report and no uptime guarantee yet. What does exist is listed plainly in Security & your data, including the things we are deliberately not claiming — and we will walk any of it through with you line by line.

What support do I get?

You are talking to the people who wrote it, by email, and usually the same day. There is no tier you can buy to be answered faster and no queue to escalate out of. When that stops being sustainable we will say so before it degrades, rather than after.

How do I get in?

Tell us who you are and what you build. A person reads it — not an autoresponder — and replies within the week, usually with a question or two, because a pilot that does not fit the job wastes your time more than ours.

By invitation

Tell us what you build, and we'll show you the job.

Access is by invitation while the pilot runs. It takes a minute, and a person reads every one.

Sign-in opens with your account. Request access and we will send you the link.

By invitation

Request access to Jig

Seven fields. We come back to you by email — usually the same week.

We use this to get back to you about Jig. Nothing is sold, and nothing is passed on.
