Faraday vs. Procore

Procore is the industry-leading construction management platform used by general contractors and large firms. It handles project management, financials, and quality and safety — but it's built for GCs managing dozens of subs, not for the subs themselves.

Pricing

Procore

Custom pricing, typically $10,000–$50,000+/year based on annual construction volume

Faraday

Flat pricing, 14-day free trial. No per-user fees.

Where Procore does well

  • Industry standard for GC project management
  • Deep financial tracking and reporting
  • Extensive integrations with accounting and ERP systems
  • Large ecosystem of third-party apps

Where Procore falls short

  • Pricing starts at $10K+/year — built for GCs, not $1–5M subs
  • 3–6 month implementation with dedicated onboarding team required
  • Subcontractors are data-entry endpoints, not primary users
  • No electrical-specific tools (NEC calculations, wire sizing, conduit fill)
  • Overkill for a 5–20 person electrical crew

Why electrical subs choose Faraday

  • Purpose-built for electrical subcontractors, not general contractors
  • $99/mo vs $10K+/year — 10x less expensive
  • Set up in days, not months
  • Electrical-specific: NEC calculators, material libraries, conduit fill
  • Your own GC portal — stop being a data-entry endpoint in someone else's platform
