Compare · Fieldwire
Fieldwire runs off the plans. Convoe runs off the conversation.
Fieldwire is strong field PM — plan markup and punch lists tied to drawings. But it assumes everyone works from the plans, and it's ≈$39/user/mo. Convoe meets the crew where they already talk and turns that into tracked work — the app is free, with AI paid only for the managers who use it.
The difference
Built around the handoff.
Meet the crew where they talk
No need to work from the plans — work starts in the chat.
Kai does the admin
The message becomes a tracked task with an owner and a date.
Free for the crew
Spans construction plus civil, mining and manufacturing.

The verdict
Fieldwire is excellent if your crew already works from the drawings. Convoe wins when the work really starts in the chat — Kai turns that into tracked tasks with owners and dates, the app is free, and it spans construction plus civil, mining and manufacturing.
