Construction daily report software › Raken pricing
Raken pricing: what each plan costs and includes
Raken costs $23 a user a month on Basic and $59 on Performance, billed yearly, with a three-user minimum, so the smallest account is $69 a month or $828 a year. Five users get 5% off and ten get 10%. Basic covers branded daily reports, photos and tasks; automatic report sending, sub reports, time tracking and integrations need Performance.
What Raken costs by team size
Raken's pricing page lets you pick 3, 5, 10 or more users and shows the monthly total, billed annually. Three is the minimum, so a superintendent who files alone still pays for three seats: $69 a month for one person, three times the list rate.
| Users | Basic, a month | Basic, a year | Performance, a month | Performance, a year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 (minimum) | $69 (3 × $23) | $828 | $177 (3 × $59) | $2,124 |
| 5 | $109.25 (5 × $23, less 5%) | $1,311 | $280.25 (5 × $59, less 5%) | $3,363 |
| 10 | $207 (10 × $23, less 10%) | $2,484 | $531 (10 × $59, less 10%) | $6,372 |
| More than 10 | Bulk discounts through Raken's sales team | |||
Moving three users from Basic to Performance adds $108 a month, or $1,296 a year. The page lists no month-to-month option and no free trial; it offers a recorded video tour and a sales call.
What Basic includes, and what needs Performance
Both plans include unlimited projects and the web, iPhone and Android apps. The split, from Raken's plan comparison table:
| Feature | Basic | Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Branded daily reports | Yes | Yes |
| Photos, video and attachments | Yes | Yes |
| Tasks, activity feed, directory and messaging | Yes | Yes |
| Automated report distribution | No | Yes |
| Collaborator reports (subs file into your report) | No | Yes |
| Segmented reports, executive summaries, bulk download | No | Yes |
| Time tracking, geofencing, kiosk time clock | No | Yes |
| Checklists, observations, incidents, toolbox talk library | No | Yes |
| RFIs, digital forms, document storage | No | Yes |
| Integrations (Procore, Autodesk, Bluebeam, accounting, cloud storage) | No | Yes |
| Insights dashboards and instant notifications | No | Yes |
| Dedicated training and onboarding | No | Yes |
When Basic is enough
Basic covers the report itself. Foremen log work, notes, photos and video, and Raken builds a branded PDF the office can download and pass on. A subcontractor with three foremen who each file their own report fits it well.
Three needs push you to Performance:
- Reports that send themselves. Scheduled emails to the GC, owner or office are "automated report distribution", a Performance feature. On Basic someone sends them.
- Subs' dailies inside yours. Collaborator reports let every sub on a project file its own daily, which Raken folds into the master report once signed. Raken says sub access is free, but the GC needs Performance.
- Payroll hours from the field. Time cards, geofenced clock-ins and the kiosk clock are all Performance.
Raken vs Procore on price
Raken publishes its prices and charges per user. Procore publishes none: it charges an annual fee per product, scaled to the dollar value of construction you run through it, with unlimited users, including subs and clients. A sub on a GC's Procore project can be invited to file in the GC's Daily Log as a collaborator and pay nothing; see how Procore's daily log works.
The two also connect: Raken lists Procore among its integrations, which come with Performance. A GC already paying for Procore rarely needs Raken for dailies, and a contractor that only needs dailies rarely needs Procore.
Cheaper Raken alternatives for a small crew
The three-user minimum is what makes Raken expensive below three people. These tools price differently:
| Tool | Price | One person, a year | Three people, a year | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CDR | $30/user/mo or $300/user/yr | $300 | $900 | No minimum; 15-day trial |
| Contractor Foreman | $49/mo for 1 user, $105/mo for up to 3, billed yearly | $588 | $1,264 | Daily logs inside an all-in-one suite; 30-day trial |
| DailyBuild | $49/mo per active project, $149/mo for 5; a year = 10 months | $490 | $1,490 | Unlimited users; 14-day trial |
| SafetyCulture (Mitti) | Free up to 10 people; Premium $24/seat/mo yearly | $0 | $0 | Five active templates on the free plan |
| Dozer | Free for 1 site; Site $99/site/mo; Company $199/mo for 5 sites | $0, or $1,188 to email PDFs to the GC | $2,388 (Company) | Per site, crew free; web app; no photos in the PDF |
| Raken Basic | $23/user/mo yearly, 3 minimum | $828 | $828 | For comparison |
The minimum only hurts below three. At exactly three users Raken Basic, $828 a year, costs less than CDR ($900), Contractor Foreman ($1,264), DailyBuild on three jobs ($1,490) or Dozer's Company plan ($2,388). SafetyCulture's free plan beats all of them on price if a checklist-style report and five templates are enough.
Dozer works differently from Raken: the foreman types or says what happened and Dozer drafts the report from it and the day's tickets, camera alerts and site weather, then a PDF with a blank line to sign on paper. One site is free; emailing the PDF to the GC takes the Site plan. It has no time cards, sub reports or custom templates, and runs in a web browser while its phone apps are listed as coming soon.

Questions
Does Raken have a free trial or a free plan?
Its pricing page shows neither. It offers a recorded video tour and a call with sales. CDR (15 days), DailyBuild (14 days) and Contractor Foreman (30 days) have trials, and SafetyCulture and Dozer have free plans.
Can you pay for Raken monthly?
The pricing page lists its prices "in USD billed annually" and shows no monthly option, so plan on paying for the year; ask sales about other terms.
Is Raken priced per user or per project?
Per user, with unlimited projects on both plans and a minimum of three users.
What does Raken do besides daily reports?
Time tracking, production tracking, safety (checklists, observations, incidents with OSHA submit, toolbox talks), RFIs, forms and document storage. All of them come with Performance, not Basic.
