Where SelfBuildOS fits
More capable than the spreadsheet you'd outgrow. Simpler and far cheaper than the contractor software you don't need.

| Built for one owner-builder — no CRM/portal bloat |
Comparison reflects the owner-builder use case. Pro tools are powerful but priced and built for contractors running many jobs — the invoicing, proposals, CRM, and client portals are friction you'd never use on your own build.
Pricing questions
- No catch — the opposite. A typical owner-build takes 18–24 months, you subscribe for roughly that long, then you cancel because you're done. Our pricing assumes you leave. Tools priced at $79–$300/mo assume you're a contractor who never will.
Start your trial. Leave when you move in.
The most honest pricing in construction software — because we're owner-builders too.
