Why we built ProtoPM
If you run jobs, you know how this goes. You need a better way to keep track of the work, so you look at project software. The price is hidden behind “Book a demo.” The demo turns into a sales call. The quote comes per seat, per year, with a contract. Then your crew needs training before anyone can use it.
It leaves you feeling sold to, not helped. Every hour spent fighting software is an hour you're not bidding or building. We've worked in construction, and we got tired of it. The people doing the work shouldn't have to sit through a pitch, or decode a contract, just to get organized.
So we built ProtoPM the other way around. Sign up yourself in minutes — no card, no demo, no call. Plain screens your crew can use on day one. And the core tools — schedule, daily logs, costs and changes — are free for your whole crew, for good.
So what's the catch?
There isn't one hiding in the fine print. ProtoPM pays its way with optional add-ons for companies that want more, like extra storage or branded documents. Prices are on our website, not behind a call. If you never need an add-on, you never pay. And if you stop one, your projects and records stay.
