Compare NextMinute to Buildxact

Builder Trend

Designed to lock you into a high pricing tier

To manage a residential construction business and team (beyond simply quoting), Buildxact requires either the Pro or Team membership, effectively locking every user into a higher price point regardless of the functionality they require.

No native timesheet management

To record your teams time and apply it to your jobs you need to purchase a separate expensive system. More cost, another system, more hassle.

All or not much

Either an expensive quoting-only system or you need to have your entire team signed up as expensive “all-access” users. To limit control of your team members you need to pay even more.

Limited functionality and expensive

The ‘Entry’ tier has a limited number of features and is double the price of a full access NextMinute admin membership. The Team tier locks all users at a single and high price point making it inflexible to real world construction teams (fewer admins and more team members).

Limited integration with accounting systems

Limited integration to Accounting systems, with no Bills import from Xero.
Supplier bill integration is also very limited because you cannot push line items into individual jobs.

Supported by bots with long wait times

As per their support page and Google reviews, support is not “people first” as you may have to wait some time to get any response at all.

No visibility of your jobs

No way to see all your jobs in one place.
