Can I migrate from Procore to Workhand?

Yes, but only if you're using a fraction of Procore. Procore supports CSV exports of customers, jobs, and invoice data. We help with first-time migrations on Pro and Team plans. Email hello@workhand.app and we will walk you through it. Note that RFIs, submittals, drawings markup, document control, and Procore-specific automations do not translate, you are choosing a dramatically simpler product.

The pricing math (5-person crew)

Procore does not publish dollar figures. The reference numbers below come from public reviews and industry reports of typical real-world quotes for small GC accounts as last reviewed May 2026. Procore prices on annual construction volume, not user count, so your specific quote varies widely.

Workhand Team

$89/month flat, includes everything below

Per month, all-in $89

5 users Included

QuickBooks Online sync Included

Customer portal Included

Implementation phase None

Year-1 total $1,068

Procore (small GC account)

Quote-based on annual construction volume; last reviewed May 2026

Per year (small-GC estimate) ~$4,000-$10,000+

Users Unlimited included

QuickBooks sync Included

RFIs, submittals, drawings Included (core)

Implementation phase Yes, 1-3 months

Year-1 total (estimate) $4,000-$10,000+

For a small crew, Workhand can be 4-10x cheaper than a small Procore account. The honest tradeoff: you give up RFIs, submittals, drawings, document control, and the integration ecosystem that lets you tie into every vendor in commercial construction. For commercial GCs, those features are not optional. For residential and light-commercial crews, they are paid-for features no one opens.

How to switch from Procore to Workhand

Be honest first. If you actually use RFIs, submittals, drawing markup, and document control every week, do not switch. Procore is the right tool for that work. If your business has shifted toward smaller residential or light-commercial work and Procore is now overkill, the move makes sense.

Audit your usage. Open Procore and check the RFI, submittal, and drawings tabs. If you have not opened them in 30 days, you are paying enterprise prices for features your crew does not use.
Check your contract. Procore contracts are annual. Note your renewal date so you don't double-pay during the transition.
Export your data. Procore supports CSV exports of customers, jobs, and invoice data. Your customer success manager can help with the export.
Archive RFIs, submittals, drawings as PDFs. If you decide to switch, these structured records won't transfer to Workhand. Save them.
Create your Workhand company. Download the app, sign up in 90 seconds.
Import customers and active jobs. Email the CSVs to [email protected]. We handle the import on Pro and Team plans.
Set up your public profile. Claim your slug at workhand.app/c/your-name. Procore doesn't have a profile page, so this is a net-new lead source.
Cancel Procore at your renewal window. Ride out the annual contract and switch fully on month one of the new period.

Common questions

Is Workhand really a Procore alternative?

For a commercial GC running million-dollar-plus projects with RFIs, submittals, drawings, document control, and 50+ subs on a single job, no. Procore is the industry standard for that scale and Workhand is not trying to compete there. For small or mid-size crews doing residential or light-commercial work, Procore is overkill. The honest answer is that most small contractors use roughly 10-15% of what Procore offers and pay Procore-scale prices for it. See our Contractor Foreman and Buildertrend comparisons for mid-market options.

How much does Procore cost?

Procore uses quote-based pricing tied to annual construction volume, not user count. Public reviews and industry reports put real-world Procore quotes anywhere from $4,000-$10,000+ per year for small accounts up to six figures annually for larger GCs, plus a setup phase. Last reviewed May 2026, verify on procore.com via their request-a-demo flow. Workhand publishes pricing: $0 Free, $35/mo Pro for up to 5 users, $89/mo Team for up to 15 users, no sales call required.

Can I migrate from Procore?

Yes, but only if you're using a fraction of Procore. Procore supports CSV exports of customers, jobs, and invoice data. We help with first-time migrations on Pro and Team plans. Email [email protected]. Note that RFIs, submittals, drawings markup, document control, and Procore-specific automations do not translate, you are choosing a dramatically simpler product.

What does Procore have that Workhand does not?

Almost everything for large commercial GCs: RFIs and submittals with full version control, drawing sets with markup and pin-to-plan annotations, document control with permission layers, BIM coordination, prime contract and sub-contract management, advanced financial reporting and forecasting, deep integrations with every commercial-construction vendor system, dedicated implementation and customer-success teams, and SOC 2 enterprise security. If you're an established GC, those are not optional.

Why pick Workhand if Procore is overkill for me?

Procore prices for enterprise users. If you're a small crew, you're subsidizing features you never open. Workhand is built tight around the 10-15% of Procore that small crews actually use: jobs, estimates, invoices, daily logs, crew chat, customer portals. Flat $89/mo for up to 15 users. No sales call, no annual contract, no implementation phase. Built by a PM at a pool building company who tried enterprise tools and put them down.
