How MAGE ID stacks up.
Looking at Procore, Buildertrend, JobTread or Houzz Pro as well? This page describes MAGE ID only. MAGE ID publishes one flat price, with no per-seat fees (unlimited free field seats; two office seats on Pro, five on Business). It prices your bids off your own finished-job costs, and it warns you the moment a live job starts losing margin. For what the other products include and cost today, check each one's own site.

What a G702 costs, by vendor.
Every price below is that vendor’s own published rate for the cheapest plan of theirs that includes AIA-style progress billing, checked 19 October 2026, with the billing term stated in each row so nothing is compared across terms. Go and check them — that is the point of printing them.

Same document either way: the same nine lines, the same 5a/5b retainage split across completed work and stored materials, the same continuation sheet. We are not cheaper because we do less of the form — we are cheaper because we do not charge you per head to fill it in. Don’t take our word for it: build one and check it.
