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.

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
