Here's the number.
$400
a month, for a crew.
A crew is a foreman and whoever works for him. We don't count them. Put a guy on Monday, take one off Friday, run four jobs at once — same four hundred.
The whole price list.
Three lines. There isn't a fourth one, and there isn't a page behind this one.
$400 a month
One crew. A foreman and whoever works for him. Any number of jobs.
$1,500 a month
The shop. Every crew you run, up to eighty hands.
+$300 a month
Past eighty hands. For every twenty over. That's the whole rule.
You pay whichever of the first two is less. Three crews is twelve hundred, so you stay on the crew price. Four crews would be sixteen hundred, so you're on the shop price and you pay fifteen. We do that arithmetic and tell you which side you're on before the invoice, not after.
Nothing on this page is per seat, per login, per photo, per sheet, per report, per gigabyte, or per export.
Prices are in US dollars, per month. Sales tax where it applies, on its own line on the invoice, never folded into the price.
The count is where the holes come from.
Say a login costs thirty-nine dollars. You've got fourteen hands. Somebody in the office buys eleven, because eleven is what the number felt like at the time.
The three without a login are the apprentice, and the two who started this month.
Nothing looks wrong. The hours still come in — by text, to the foreman, on Friday, from memory. The photos still get taken, on somebody's own phone, and they stay there.
Then eighteen months later a question arrives about one week in March, and it's about one of those three. That's not bad luck. That's the seat count, showing up on schedule.
A price that counts men will always be paid by leaving some out.
So we don't count them. Not the foreman, not the apprentice, not the guy who started Monday, not your bookkeeper, not the PM, not the safety man, not the owner. Everybody who needs to be on it is on it, and the number on your invoice doesn't move.
That isn't generosity. It's the only way the record comes out whole, and the record is the thing you're buying.
Procore is the one big company that got this half right. Their own pricing page says: “We'll never charge you for adding more users to Procore,” and the contract covers “unlimited users, unrivaled support, unlimited data storage, and product enhancements, at no additional cost.” That's correct, and it took a large company to say it.
Then the same page says how they price instead: “We charge an upfront annual fee by product and based upon your Annual Construction Volume (ACV) — the aggregate dollar value of the construction work across your projects.” So the software costs more because you had a bigger year. And the page carries no dollar figure at all — it asks what type of company you work for and offers a custom quote.
We're doing both halves. Flat, and a number on the page.
Quoted from procore.com/pricing, checked 22 August 2026.
Your good year is yours. It isn't an input to your software bill.
What's in the four hundred.
Everything. This list is here so you can check it against the invoice, not because any of it is an upsell somewhere else.
Everybody
- Every man on the crew. The foreman. The apprentice who started Monday.
- Your bookkeeper, your PM, your safety man, you. Office logins cost nothing.
- Anyone you take off, any day. Nothing is prorated because nothing is counted.
Everything they say
- Messages, in whatever language the man writes in.
- Voice, held down and talked into with a glove on.
- Photos and video, as many as the job produces. No cap, no per-gigabyte line.
Everything it makes
- The hours, with the sentence they came from.
- The weekly time record, one PDF per man per week.
- The payroll file, in the shape your bookkeeper already keys.
- The pre-task plan and the W.H.A.T. book, and the acknowledgements under them.
- The day's account, rewritten as the day changes.
- The daily report as a PDF, with the photos in it.
- Material requests, foreman questions, equipment progress.
Everything it reads
- Drawings, cut sheets, submittals, spec sections, dispatch sheets — as many as the job has.
- No per-sheet charge, no per-page charge, no per-question charge, no monthly question allowance.
- Every answer comes back with the sheet and the revision under it.
- The Read Log, which tells you what it hasn't read yet.
Everything you take out
- The whole account, any day, in files that open without us.
- Photos as files with their attribution beside them. Hours as CSV and XLSX. Documents as documents. Plans and reports as PDFs. The conversation as text.
- No export fee. Not on the way in, not on the way out, not on the way to somebody else's software.
Getting started
- One of the two of us sets it up with you. Your jobs, your crews, your drawings loaded, your payroll columns named the way your bookkeeper names them.
- No setup fee. No implementation package. No training fee. No migration fee.
- It takes about a week and most of that week is us, not you.
Support
You get one of the two people who wrote it. Not a queue, not a tier, not a success manager. There is no support plan to buy because there is only one, and it's this one.
There is no line item on this page that appears on the invoice and not here. If you find one, you don't owe it.
What the four hundred doesn't buy.
Two different lists. The first is work we hand to somebody else. The second is work we don't do at all.
Things you'll still pay somebody else for
- Payroll. We make the file. Whoever cuts the checks still cuts them and still charges you.
- Your accounting system. The hours land where your bookkeeper already works; the ledger stays where it is.
- Phones and data. It runs on the phone he already has.
Things it doesn't do, at any price
- Estimating. Bidding. Change orders. Scheduling. Project management. Accounting.
- Certified payroll, prevailing wage determinations, union fringe calculations, job costing.
- Service dispatch. Ten addresses a day is somebody else's product, and it's a good one.
- Anything that tracks where a man is. There is no location in it to sell you later.
The full list, unhedged, with no “yet” on the end of every line → What it won't do
The terms.
Six of them. None of them are in a PDF you have to ask for.
-
01
Monthly. No term, no minimum, no annual contract.
There's no annual price and no monthly price. There's the price. Nothing on this page gets cheaper for signing longer, which means nothing on this page is more expensive for staying free.
-
02
You're billed at the end of the month you used.
Not in advance. One invoice by email, one page, one line, the date range on it. Card or ACH, and we don't add a card fee.
-
03
The first month, there's no invoice.
Fourteen days is the category's number and fourteen days doesn't contain a payroll close. A month contains four payroll weeks, a monthly safety walk, one delivery that showed up wrong, and at least one argument about hours. That's the test. Take the month.
-
04
Your number is locked for twenty-four months.
If it changes after that, you hear it ninety days ahead, in an email from one of us, with the new number written in the email. Not a link to this page. The number.
-
05
Adding people never changes it.
Not a man, not a crew inside your count, not an office login. If you cross from the crew price to the shop price, we tell you the month before, not on the invoice.
-
06
Cancel by writing one sentence.
To [email protected]. No retention call, no exit survey, no notice period, no offboarding fee. Billing stops at the end of that month. Your export stays open and it stays free.
Nothing here expires after twelve months. Read a competitor's price twice — once for the number, once for how long the number lasts.
This is the whole invoice.
One page. One line. The count that produced it, so you can check it in ten seconds.

You were on the shop price this month because five crews on the crew price would have been $2,000.
Fifty-four hands. Three men joined in August. The number didn't move.
Invented shop, invented job, invented counts. Nobody is billed on this page. The tax line is left unpriced because the rate follows the address.
Do the arithmetic yourself.
Both tables below were checked on 22 August 2026, off each company's own pricing page. Every figure is theirs. If one of them changed, write to us and we'll fix it the same day.
What twelve men cost, in pieces
Nobody sells the whole day in one product, so a shop that wants all of it buys three or four things. Here's that stack for a twelve-man crew, using only the numbers those companies publish.
| What you'd buy it for | What they publish | Twelve men, a month |
|---|---|---|
| Photos on the right job | CompanyCam, Crew: “$129/month”, “3 Users Included. Additional Users: $29 each” | $390 |
| The drawings on the phone | Fieldwire, Pro: “$39 per user / month billed annually” | $468 |
| The hours | Workyard, Starter: “$6 per user / month” — the only tier with a number on it | $72 |
| The daily report | Raken — pricing page, no plan names, no numbers | Not published |
| Answers out of the documents | Trunk Tools, Document Crunch — demo gate | Not published |
| All of it | AirOrchestra — one crew | $400 |
Each of those products does more than the one job we put it next to, and three of them are very good at what they do. CompanyCam is the best-loved field product in this trade and it earned that. The point of the table isn't that they're expensive. It's that the arithmetic is available for four of the six rows and not for the other two — and that the four you can add up are already past four hundred before the daily report and the drawings answers have a number at all.
What the category publishes
And here's the part that's hard to believe until you click through. These are pages called Pricing.
| Company | Their pricing page | Is there a price on it? |
|---|---|---|
| Fieldwire | fieldwire.com/pricing | Yes. $0 / $39 / $64 / $89 per user per month, billed annually. |
| CompanyCam | companycam.com/pricing | Yes. $63 / $129 / $199 a month, plus “$29 each” past the included users. |
| Jobber | getjobber.com/pricing | Yes — and read it twice. Core is “$21/mo for 12 months, then $29/mo.” Extra users are “$29/mo each.” |
| Workyard | workyard.com/pricing | One of four. “Plans start at $6 per user / month.” Pro, Autopilot and Enterprise show nothing. |
| Procore | procore.com/pricing | No. “Annual Construction Volume.” First it asks what type of company you work for. |
| ServiceTitan | servicetitan.com/pricing | No. Starter, Essentials, The Works — “Request Pricing” under each. “Our per-technician pricing is designed to fit your business and goals, at any size.” |
| BuildOps | buildops.com/pricing | No. “BuildOps pricing is based on the number of field and office users on your account.” The button says “Get Personalized Pricing.” |
| XOi | xoi.io/pricing | No. Four products, three implementation tiers, no figures. “Request pricing.” |
| Raken | rakenapp.com/pricing | No plan names and no numbers. |
| Torspan | this page | $400. $1,500. +$300 past eighty hands. |
Five of those nine have a page called Pricing with no price on it. That has been the top thing software buyers say they want from a vendor for four years running, since anybody started asking.

A number on a page is a promise you can hold somebody to. That's the reason it's the last thing a big company gives up.
Three shops this is wrong for.
Under five hands. Four hundred a month across three guys is a hundred and thirty-three apiece, and at that size the foreman already knows what everybody did today because he was standing next to them. Keep the four hundred.
Service work. If your trucks hit ten addresses a day and the money question is dispatch, capacity and the ticket, this is the wrong shape entirely. That is a real category with real products in it and we are not one of them.
Somebody who wants to see where his men are. It doesn't collect location and it never will. There is no version of this with a map in it, so there is no reason to start.
If you're not sure which of those you are, the honest page to read next is What it won't do.
Leaving costs nothing, and it takes one sentence.
Everything the crew said and everything it made comes out whole, any day you ask, in files that open without us. Photos as files with the man and the job beside them. Hours as CSV and XLSX. Drawings as drawings. Plans and reports as PDFs. The conversation as text.
Cancel and keep all of it. We have never charged to hold onto somebody's own records and we're not going to start — a record you have to pay rent on isn't yours.
To: [email protected] From: Ray D. Subject: Cancelling
We're done at the end of the month. Send the export.
To: Ray D. From: [email protected] Subject: Re: Cancelling
Got it. Billing stops August 31 — you'll get one more invoice for August and that's the last one.
Your export is attached and it's also in the app under Your records; it'll stay downloadable for ninety days. If you need it after that, write and I'll put it back up.
Nothing to sign. Nothing to return.

That's the whole thing. There's no call in the middle of it.
Invented shop, invented crew. Nobody wrote either of these two emails.
What's in an export, how long records are kept, and what happens to your file if Torspan stops → Your records
The rest of the questions.
- What counts as a crew?
A foreman and the men who report to him. If two foremen split a floor, that's two crews. If one foreman runs eleven guys across three jobs, that's one crew and one four hundred.
- Who decides how many crews I have?
You do. You tell us at setup and you tell us when it changes. We don't audit it. If the number in the app and the number on the invoice ever disagree, the invoice moves.
- What if a crew is nine men one month and sixteen the next?
Same four hundred. Sixteen men under one foreman is still one crew. We're not counting.
- Do office people cost anything?
No. Bookkeeper, PM, safety, owner, whoever handles the calls. If they need to see it, put them on it.
- What if I only want it on one job to see how it goes?
That's what the first month is for, and it's the normal way to start. One crew, one job, no invoice. If it doesn't take, you send one sentence and you keep everything it made.
- Is there a discount for paying a year up front?
No. A discount for prepaying is a charge for not prepaying, and we'd rather have one number.
- Does the price go up when you add features?
No. Twenty-four months, locked, whatever ships in them. After that, ninety days' notice with the number in the email.
- What happens if I stop paying?
You get an email from a person. The account goes read-only, not dark — you can still open everything and still export it. We do not hold a shop's safety file hostage over an invoice.
- Do you sell my data, or train anything outside my company on it?
No. Not sold, not shared, not used to train anything that touches anybody else's job. That's on Your records in plain English and in Privacy in the language a lawyer wants.
- Is there a nonprofit or apprenticeship rate?
Yes, and it's simple: a JATC or apprenticeship program pays nothing. Write and say that's what you are.
- What if I'm bigger than eighty hands?
Fifteen hundred plus three hundred a month for every twenty over. There is nothing else to it and there is nobody here to negotiate with.
- Can I pay by check?
Yes. It's slower for both of us and we'd rather do ACH, but yes.
There's no signup button on this site.
Not because we're gatekeeping it. Because starting a shop on this still takes one of the two of us doing it by hand — your jobs, your crews, your drawings loaded, your payroll columns named the way your bookkeeper names them. It takes about a week and most of that week is us.
When we can do it without a person, there'll be a button here and this paragraph will be gone. Until then the only thing on this page that takes an address is below, and the reply comes from one of us.
Get on the list.
One address, nothing else. No list, no sequence, no tracking pixel, never sold or handed to anybody. There are two people here and one of them answers.
That button opens your own mail app. If it doesn't, write straight to [email protected] — same inbox, same two people.
