Foundation vs Ressio
Ressio is a solid modern platform for builders. Foundation goes further with AI estimating from plans, a full lender draw workflow, and flat unlimited-user pricing.
Why builders switch from Ressio
Per-user pricing ($49-$199/mo per tier) — costs scale as your team grows
No AI estimates from uploaded plans — their AI (Mason) only does summaries and checklists
No lender draw request workflow with PDF generation and e-sign
No QuickBooks integration for syncing settled construction payments
Newer platform with smaller user base — less proven at scale
No CompanyCam integration for jobsite photo sync
