Siteline alternative
Siteline alternative: where each one is stronger, and what each one costs.
Siteline is a serious piece of software and it is better than us at several things worth naming. It is also, by its own published words, a billing-and-cash layer that picks up after the job is already planned — so if the thing breaking at your company is the daily log, the crew schedule, the time clock or the job cost, you are comparing the wrong two products. This page is the honest split, built entirely from pages anyone can read.
14-day free trial, no card needed. Field crews are free and unlimited. See pricing →
- Siteline is billing and A/R: pay apps, waivers, compliance, collections, forecasting. It is deep, and it is deeper than we are in that lane.
- It does not do daily logs, job costing, crew scheduling or estimating — their own comparison page tells you to evaluate someone else for those.
- Neither of us is free. The difference is that you can read our price and start a trial today without talking to a salesperson.
In their own words
If estimating, scheduling, job costing, field ops, or project management is your primary need, evaluate Knowify, ProjectHQ, or Procore. … Siteline picks up later in the cycle, once a project’s scope and schedule are set, and handles billing-to-cash.
Credit where it is due
What Siteline is genuinely better at.
Not a setup for a rebuttal. These are real advantages, several of them things we do not do at all, and if one of them is your actual problem then Siteline is the right buy — we would rather you knew that on this page than after a trial.
It produces the owner-standard billing forms. We do not.
Siteline generates G-702 and G-703 documents and GC-specific custom forms straight off the schedule of values, with the calculations, taxes and carry-forward from the previous month handled for you. SubMark does not generate those forms. If your billing pain is literally filling out the form every month, that is their whole product and this is the end of the comparison. One thing worth knowing either way, from their own page: you still have to hold the forms yourself — they are explicit that they do not supply them.
It writes and chases lien waivers, including your lower tiers.
Their product fills in the right waiver form, emails it, collects the digital signature, sends reminders, can fire requests off in bulk, and shows a tracker of who has received, opened and signed. It also runs validation that flags wrong amounts, missing signatures and mismatched dates. SubMark tracks the waivers you owe your GC and nothing more — you upload your own blank forms, and there is no workflow at all for the waivers your own subs owe you.
A dedicated 50-state lien-rights product.
Deadline tracking across every state, preliminary notice documents, and certified mail, sold as an add-on. SubMark has nothing in this space and is not going to pretend otherwise. For a sub bidding across state lines with real preservation deadlines, that is a category of risk we simply do not cover.
They connect to the GC’s payment portal. We do not.
Oracle Textura is described on their own page as a two-way instant integration — project information, schedules of values and change orders flow in from the portal, and pay apps go back out. Procore Pay is a certified partnership. SubMark has no GC-portal integration and no Procore integration of any kind. On this row Siteline wins outright, and it is the row a sub submitting into three different portals should weigh hardest.
Fourteen accounting and ERP integrations.
Sage 300 CRE, Sage 100 Contractor, Sage Intacct, Foundation, Viewpoint Vista, Viewpoint Spectrum, Acumatica, CMiC, Deltek ComputerEase, Oracle NetSuite, QuickBooks Enterprise Contractor and QuickBooks Online, several as certified partnerships. SubMark integrates with QuickBooks Online. If your books live in Sage or Vista, that is a short conversation.
A/R collections and cash-flow forecasting as real modules.
Overdue invoices tracked by GC with reminders on a set cadence, predicted payment dates, invoice aging, and collection settings per customer, plus backlog and cash-flow forecasting. SubMark has a draw calendar — each job’s cutoff and due days across your GCs — which is a different and smaller thing, and we are not going to call it a collections module.
Unlimited users and offices in every package.
Their own published pricing model, and it is a structural advantage over ours for a larger company. SubMark charges per office user past the first three. A sub with twelve people in the office pays us more than a sub with four does, and Siteline’s model would not add that cost. We do not know whether we are cheaper than Siteline for your company, and we are never going to claim we are.
They have published customer stories, and we are not going to invent any.
Around twenty published case studies, named outcome figures, a wall of customer quotes, published editorial standards and a named team going back years. We have none of that, because SubMark is new. You should weight it, and anyone who tells you not to is selling something.
The short list of what we do not do.
Read this before the table. If any one of these is the reason you are shopping, stop here — a trial will only cost you the week.
- SubMark does not generate G702 or G703 documents, or any owner-standard billing form, and it does not submit anything to your GC. You bill the way each GC requires, exactly as you do now. Siteline does generate those forms.
- SubMark does not write lien waiver forms or collect signatures on them. It tracks the ones you owe your GC — type, through date, amount and which draw they belong to — against blank forms you upload yourself. Siteline writes them, sends them and chases them.
- SubMark has no lien-rights product: no 50-state deadline calendar, no preliminary notices, no certified mail. Siteline sells one.
- SubMark has no GC-portal integration and no Procore integration. Procore, Textura and GCPay appear in SubMark only as the submission method you record against a job, so the right person knows where this one goes. Nothing is sent on your behalf.
- SubMark has no A/R collections module and no cash-flow forecasting. There is a draw calendar and a draws report you can read across every job, which is less.
- SubMark integrates with QuickBooks Online, and that is the whole accounting list. No Sage, no Vista, no Foundation, no CMiC.
- SubMark charges per office user past the first three. Siteline does not charge per user at all.
Price
What each one costs, as far as anyone can tell.
This is the section most comparison pages fudge, so here is the exact state of the public record as of October 2026. We are not going to estimate their number, and you should distrust any page that does — there is a figure circulating for Siteline that contradicts both their own words and their own directory listing.
Siteline
- Siteline publishes no price. Their pricing page says they work with each customer on pricing that suits their product usage, billing volume and integration needs, and its only action is a questionnaire that asks your company type, project volume and ERP before anyone quotes you.
- Their own comparison page describes the model as a custom annual subscription with unlimited users and offices, priced on billing volume and integration needs.
- Their Capterra listing gives the starting price as “Contact vendor” and says a free trial is not available.
- They say most customers are up and running within two weeks.
- If you have seen a dollar figure for Siteline on a third-party site, treat it as unverified. One widely repeated number contradicts both their own pricing language and their own listing, and we are not going to repeat it here.
SubMark
- SubMark publishes its price on its own pricing page.
- A 14-day free trial, no card needed, starts from the website with no call. Pick your trade, build a real schedule of values, bill a real draw, and decide.
- Field users — every foreman and every crew member — are free and unlimited, and so are the subcontractors you invite to the portal. You pay for office users.
- We are not claiming to be cheaper. For a large office, Siteline’s unlimited-user model may well cost less than ours. We are claiming you can find out what we cost in about four seconds.

The other side of it
What SubMark runs that Siteline tells you to buy elsewhere.
Every line below is on their own disclaimer list or absent from their own twelve feature pages — and each one links to the page that explains what it actually does here, so you can check us rather than take our word for it.
Daily logs, written by the foreman, on his phone
Weather, crew and hours, work performed, delays, visitors, photos. Siteline has no daily-log product at all — field operations is on their own “evaluate someone else” list. For a sub whose GC disputes a percentage at month end, the log is the argument.
Daily logs →Job costing against the budget, per job
Budget against actual for labor, materials and subcontractors, fed by the labor hours from the daily logs and the time clock, the purchase orders you raise, and the QuickBooks Online bills and purchases that pull in. It costs at wage rate rather than fully burdened, there are no cost codes, and we do not call it real-time. Siteline’s own words name job costing as a reason to evaluate a different product.
Job costing →Crew scheduling, and a time clock the field is not charged for
Who is on which job next week, and the hours to prove it afterward. Scheduling is named on Siteline’s own disclaimer sentence, and no time-clock product is marketed anywhere on their site. Our field users are free, which is the only pricing under which a time clock gets used by everybody.
Crew scheduling →Change events captured in the field, and T&M tags signed before the crew leaves
A change event logged with photos the day the extra work happens, and a T&M tag e-signed on site or by a link — the signature locks the ticket. Siteline records change events and generates the GC’s change order request form; no e-signature is mentioned on their page, and they publish no T&M field-ticket product. One honest note on ours: T&M hours are billed, not costed. They do not feed job-costing actuals.
T&M tickets →A schedule of values that stops moving on its own
It locks once the first pay application you build in SubMark is submitted — a draft, or a draw you log from the GC’s own pay app, leaves it open, so the whole first cycle is still yours to fix. After that, an approved and issued change order adds its own line automatically, carrying the change order’s code, which is the thing a workbook gets wrong six months in.
Schedule of values →A bid board and takeoff, and a safety module
Estimating is explicitly on Siteline’s “evaluate someone else” list, and nothing resembling a safety module appears on their site. Both ship here, in the same system as the jobs they belong to.
Everything SubMark does →Your mailbox, read-only, with the result on your home page
Connect Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace and SubMark surfaces insights on your home page, and logs emails with the contacts in your directory on that company’s timeline. Not on a job page. The connection is read-only and message bodies are never stored. Nothing comparable appears anywhere on Siteline’s site.
How the integrations work →A portal for the subs below you
Siteline made the opposite call on purpose and says so: lower-tier contractors do not get Siteline accounts, and the forms launch from email instead. Theirs is a defensible design. Ours is a portal, and the subs you invite into it are free.
See the product →None of that is a tier you upgrade into. The core modules are on from setup, and a few (T&M tags, takeoff, safety, the subcontractor directory) are switched on in settings. The full list is on the product page.
Side by side, including the seven rows we lose.
Their column is quoted or paraphrased from their own public pages, never from a review site. Where their pages do not answer a question, the cell says so instead of guessing — that is the honest state of the public record, and a table where one column wins everything is marketing you have already learned to discount.
| What you need | Siteline | SubMark |
|---|---|---|
| Published price you can read without a call | No. Custom annual pricing, quoted on billing volume; their listing says “Contact vendor” | Yes, on the pricing page, with the per-seat figure beside it |
| Start without talking to a salesperson | No. Their listing says a free trial is not available; the pricing page is a quote questionnaire | Yes. 14-day free trial from the website, no card needed |
| Generate G702 / G703 and GC-specific billing forms | Yes — this is the core of the product | No. We do not generate those forms |
| Submit into the GC’s payment portal | Yes — Textura described as two-way and instant, plus Procore Pay | No. You record which portal a job uses; nothing is sent for you |
| Produce, send and chase lien waivers | Yes, including lower-tier waivers, with signatures, reminders and bulk send | No. Tracking only, on blank forms you upload, for waivers you owe your GC |
| 50-state lien deadlines and preliminary notices | Yes, as a paid add-on | No |
| A/R collections and cash-flow forecasting | Yes, both as modules | No. A draw calendar of per-job deadlines across your GCs, and a draws report |
| Accounting and ERP integrations | Fourteen, including Sage, Viewpoint, Foundation, CMiC, Acumatica and NetSuite | QuickBooks Online only. Bills and purchases pull in hourly if you turn it on; a finished draw pushes back as a QBO invoice with a click, one at a time |
| Cost of putting your foremen on it | Nothing — every package is unlimited users | Nothing. Field users and invited subs are free and unlimited; office users are per seat past the first three |
| Daily logs from the field | No. Field operations is on their own “evaluate someone else” list | Yes — weather, crew, hours, delays, visitors and photos |
| Job costing against budget | No. Named on their own disclaimer sentence | Yes — budget vs. actual per job, at wage rate. No cost codes |
| Crew scheduling | No. Named on their own disclaimer sentence | Yes |
| Time clock for the crew | No time-clock product is marketed on their site | Yes, and the field seats are free |
| T&M field ticket, e-signed on site | T&M appears as a billing type. Whether a crew can raise and sign a field ticket is not stated on their pages | Yes. Signed on site or by link, and the signature locks the ticket |
| Approved change order reaching the schedule of values | Yes, described as a quick user action once approved | Automatic, as its own line carrying the change order’s code |
| Estimating and a bid board | No. Estimating is on their own “evaluate someone else” list | Yes — bid board and takeoff |
| Read-only mailbox connection, with insights on your home page | Nothing comparable on their site. They do send outbound collection reminders, which is a different thing | Yes — Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, read-only, bodies never stored |
| Portal for your lower-tier subs | No, deliberately — lower tiers get emailed forms and no account | Yes, and they are free |
| Published customers and case studies | Around twenty case studies, named outcome figures, a wall of customer quotes | None. SubMark is new and we will not invent any |
The honest split
Which of the two you should actually buy.
The left column is real advice, written knowing it sends some readers to a competitor. We would rather lose a trial than lose a month of yours.
Buy Siteline if…
- The form is the problem. If billing week is mostly filling out G702s and G703s and each GC’s own template, they generate those and we do not. Nothing else on this page outweighs that.
- You submit into Textura or Procore Pay and you want the portal connected rather than remembered. We have no GC-portal integration at all.
- Lien waivers are a real administrative load — especially lower-tier waivers you have to collect. They produce, send, chase and validate them; we only track the ones you owe upward.
- You bid across state lines and lien deadlines are a risk you actively manage. Their lien-rights add-on is a product; we have nothing.
- Your books are in Sage, Vista, Foundation, CMiC or NetSuite. They integrate with all of those; we integrate with QuickBooks Online.
- Collections is the bottleneck — aging, predicted payment dates, reminder cadences per GC. That is a module there and not one here.
- You have twelve people in the office. Their unlimited-user model may simply cost you less than our per-seat one, and we are not going to pretend otherwise.
- You need to see twenty case studies before you sign anything. Entirely reasonable, and we do not have them.
Buy SubMark if…
- The thing actually breaking is upstream of billing. Extra work done on a verbal, a ticket that is a photo in somebody’s phone, a percentage you cannot defend because nobody logged the area. Siteline starts after all of that, by their own description.
- You want one system rather than a billing layer plus three more. Daily logs, crew schedule, time clock, job costing, bid board, change orders, T&M tags, the schedule of values and the draws, all reading the same jobs.
- Your foremen have to be in it. Field users are free and unlimited, which is the only pricing under which a daily log or a time clock actually gets filled in every day.
- You want to know the price today and try it this afternoon. Published price, 14-day free trial, no card needed, no demo first. Neither Siteline nor eSUB offers that.
- You are not running a separate A/R function. If the person who bills is also the person who runs jobs, a dedicated A/R product is more machine than the job needs.
- You do not use Sage or Vista. If the books are in QuickBooks Online, our integration is the one you need.
- You already have a way to produce the GC’s billing form and only need the record behind it to be right. If you bill in the GC’s own portal or template, what you need is the schedule of values, the draws and the retainage to be true rather than re-typed.
Questions
Siteline and SubMark: what a sub’s office actually asks.
Is SubMark a Siteline competitor?
Only partly, and pretending otherwise would waste your time. We overlap on the schedule of values, change orders and draw tracking. We do not overlap at all on their deepest work — generating the billing documents, producing and chasing lien waivers, lien rights across 50 states, collections, forecasting and GC-portal connections. And they do not overlap on ours: daily logs, job costing, crew scheduling, the time clock, the bid board, the safety module, the sub portal. Siteline is a billing-and-cash layer that sits beside your accounting system. SubMark is the operating record for the whole job.
How much does Siteline cost?
They do not publish it. Their pricing page has no figure and no plans — it has a questionnaire that asks your company type, project volume and ERP, and their own words are that pricing is worked out per customer around product usage, billing volume and integration needs. Their comparison page calls it a custom annual subscription with unlimited users and offices. Their Capterra listing gives the starting price as “Contact vendor” and says a free trial is not available. If you have seen a specific dollar figure for Siteline on a third-party site, be careful: at least one widely repeated number contradicts both their own pricing language and their own listing, and we are not going to repeat a competitor’s price we cannot source to the competitor. Ours is on our pricing page.
Does Siteline have a free trial?
Their Capterra listing says a free trial is not available, and their pricing page’s only action is a request for a custom quote. SubMark has a 14-day free trial, no card needed, that you start from the website with no call, which is the single clearest difference between us and Siteline.
Can SubMark generate my AIA G702 and G703 forms like Siteline does?
No. SubMark does not generate those forms (it can read a G702 PDF you have already submitted, to log the draw), so if that is your reason for shopping, Siteline does it and we do not. What SubMark keeps is the record behind the form: one schedule of values per job that locks once the first pay application built in SubMark is submitted, approved change orders added as their own lines automatically, each draw with the retainage withheld and the check you should expect, and a draws report across every job you can export to Excel or PDF. If you bill in the GC’s own portal or template, what you need is that record to be right rather than re-typed. There is a separate page on this exact question if it is the one you came with.
Does SubMark connect to Textura, GCPay or Procore?
No. Siteline does — Textura is described on their own page as a two-way instant integration, and Procore Pay is a certified partnership. In SubMark, Procore, Textura and GCPay exist only as the submission method you record against a job, so whoever bills knows where that one goes and by when. Nothing is transmitted on your behalf, and we are never going to describe that as an integration. If portal submission is the job you need automated, this row goes to Siteline.
Siteline includes unlimited users. Does SubMark?
For the field, yes — foremen, crew and the subcontractors you invite to the portal are free and unlimited, which is deliberate rather than promotional. For the office, no: the subscription includes your first three office users and each one after that is a monthly per-seat price, both figures published on our pricing page. Siteline’s packages are unlimited users and offices, which is a genuine structural advantage for a larger office. We do not know which of us is cheaper for your company and we are not going to guess at it.
Where did the facts on this page come from?
Siteline’s own public website, read on October 5, 2026 — their home page, pricing page, comparison page, the twelve feature pages and the integration pages — plus their own Capterra listing where it is named as the source. Nothing here comes from a search summary, a review aggregator or an estimate, and no figure is attached to a competitor that the competitor does not publish. Where their pages do not answer something, this page says so rather than filling the gap. Features and pricing change; if you spot something out of date, tell us and we will correct it.

Does SubMark do AIA G702 and G703 billing?
The straight answer is no, in more detail — what SubMark keeps instead, and when a dedicated billing-document product is simply the better buy.
