A Raken alternative for small builders and trades

Raken is a field app for contractors built around daily reports, time cards, production tracking and safety talks. It doesn't publish prices: you request a quote, and third-party listings put it at roughly $15–$46 per user per month. myBivy does daily reports too, and adds signed T&M tickets, plans and markups, trade inspection checklists, a free app for trade contractors, flat pricing for small builders, and English–Spanish translation of what crews write.

When Raken is the better choice

If your crews need detailed time cards for payroll, production tracking against a budget and toolbox talks across many crews, Raken goes deep there and may suit you better.
