A brain for your business. It gets smarter every job.
It does the three documents that decide whether you get paid — an AIA-style G702/G703 pay application, a WIP schedule your banker will read, and a critical path with real total and free float — and then it remembers what every job actually cost you and prices the next one off that. The cheapest published plan we could find with AIA-style progress billing is $105 a month for three users. This is $29. Don’t take our word for it — we have no reviews; check the document instead.

Illustration, not a measurement. Every job you close writes its real unit costs into a price book only you can see — your subs, your supply house, your market. Yours reads zero until you close your first one, and we would rather show you zero than somebody else's curve. We will not publish an accuracy number until we have enough closed jobs to earn one — and when we do it goes on the Track Record page with the misses included.
Your book is private and always will be. If you want to see what other builders are paying, the MAGE Price Index is the opt-in version — a trade only appears there once five independent contractors have contributed real paid rates, and we won't publish a number below that threshold or invent one to look populated. It is empty today. Contributing is off by default.
The anatomy of the brain
Watch it think.
A filing cabinet stores your jobs. A brain works them — it sees, remembers, reasons, foresees, reacts, reads your plans, and judges the next bid. Hover a faculty to see what fires.
The receipts
It keeps score on itself.
MAGE records every call it makes on your jobs — durations, hidden-condition prices, bid verdicts, leak flags — then grades itself against what actually happened. The misses stay on the board. That's what makes the hits worth trusting.
No other construction software grades its own work. Most wouldn't survive it.
Example figures — your board is built only from your own graded jobs, and stays blank until there's enough of it. See exactly how it grades itself, and what it refuses to do until it's earned →
The anatomy of the brain
A brain does three things a filing cabinet never will.
Sight. Memory. Judgment. The others give you screens to type into. MAGE gives you the three faculties your best project manager runs on — working every job, and getting sharper each time.
Prices what you can't see.
Cost X-Ray. Point the camera; MAGE prices the hidden conditions on your learned costs — before they eat the job.
Gets smarter every job.
The cost-learning engine. Every estimate sharpens the next. A rival can copy a button; they can't copy 500 of your jobs. The memory compounds — and it's yours alone.
Thinks the job through.
MAGE Copilot. Talk; it builds the schedule and shows its reasoning — the assumptions, the risks, the critical path. Not a blank Gantt and a manual.
Sight, in dollars
The moment it pays for itself.
A walk-through misses what's behind the wall. The brain doesn't — and it prices it before you sign away the margin.
6:30, every morning
It starts your day.
Before your boots are on, the brain has already walked every job. Three lists, thirty seconds — what needs you, what it's watching, what it already handled.
The honest comparison
How's it different from what you use today?
Pick your current app. We'll be fair about what it does well — then show you the six things it structurally can't do, no matter how many features it ships.
The watch
It knows what’s about to stop the job.
A load that won’t land. A freight elevator nobody booked. An architect sitting on an RFI for nine days. A client link that quietly died. None of these are on a schedule, and every one of them stops work — so MAGE watches them and keeps a single list, worst first, while there’s still time to move.
Example board. Yours is built only from your own jobs — and it stays empty when there’s genuinely nothing to chase. A list that always has something on it is just noise you’d learn to scroll past.
Built for
The contractor who bids constantly and hates surprises.
Your people
Small-to-mid GCs · $500K–$5M a year · remodels, fit-outs, ground-up.
You live and die on the bid, and you've been burned by what you couldn't see — behind the drywall on a remodel, above the ceiling on a fit-out. You're too small for Procore's enterprise machine and overcharged by Buildertrend for storage you don't need. MAGE is the first tool built to price your unknowns and get sharper with every job you finish.
The handoff
Every job you finish hands your client the house's memory.
Close out a job and your client keeps a living record of their own home — not a binder that goes in a drawer, a brain they can ask.
What they keep
- The pre-drywall photos. What's behind every wall, on record before it was closed up.
- Every warranty, filed and dated — no shoebox of paperwork.
- Who built what. Every sub and supplier, attached to the work they did.
- Ask their home anything. The same brain that ran the job answers their questions — with your name on every answer.
Show one in your next pitch — you're the only bidder whose houses come with a memory. And it's free for your client, which makes every finished job a referral that shows itself off.
Straight answers
The questions every contractor asks.
Do I have to throw out the tools I use now?
No. Start with estimating and the learning engine — the part nobody else has. Keep what works, and let MAGE quietly take over pricing, job costing, and scheduling as it earns its place.
How does it actually "learn my costs"?
Every job you finish feeds your real numbers back into your catalog — automatically. No spreadsheets to maintain. Job #50 prices off 49 jobs of truth, not a generic price book.
Is my cost data private?
Yes. Your numbers are yours. The brain learns your business — it never hands your hard-won costs to the contractor down the street.
Do my subs really use it for free?
Yes, and so does your whole crew. Field seats — subs, foremen, anyone who works the job rather than the books — are unlimited and free on every plan including Free, permanently. Office seats, the ones that can see margin, are included two on Pro and five on Business. That is the whole rule; there is no other seat math and no per-seat fee at any tier. The seat allowance in full.
Does it work on my phone, on the jobsite?
It's built for the field first: price hidden conditions from a photo, build a schedule by voice, and update the job from the truck.
What does it cost to start?
Free to try, no card, on the web today. Pro is $29/mo and Business $79/mo — but they are not self-serve yet: our payment processor is still in sandbox and the iPhone app is in TestFlight rather than the App Store, so you email us and we switch the plan on, usually the same day. The prices are published anyway, so you can plan and compare.
