Procore is the enterprise construction-PM standard. Here's an honest, side-by-side look at how it compares with MEPSub — the all-in-one platform built by an MEP/HVAC contractor to run both your project and field-service work.
MEPSub is a fraction of the price, month-to-month, and adds the whole field-service half (dispatch, tickets, service invoicing) Procore lacks — while still running your submittals and estimates.
On the other hand: On large commercial jobs where the GC/owner mandates Procore, and on enterprise financial depth.
