Search for change order software and you’ll find excellent products — priced for construction companies. Project-management suites like Procore or Buildertrend bundle change orders with scheduling, bidding, accounting integrations, and team seats, at hundreds of dollars a month. If you have a back office, they earn it. If you’re one contractor with a phone, you’re paying every month for an office you don’t have.
What field change orders actually require
- Write line items and get automatic totals
- Capture the customer’s signature on the spot
- Produce a professional PDF and send it
- Keep a record you can find and prove later
None of that is a monthly service. There are no servers doing nightly work for you, no seats to manage. It’s a tool — and tools are things you buy once.
How ScopeProof is priced
- Free tier: up to 3 active change orders (3 line items and 1 photo each, 2 projects), in-person signing, PDF export with a watermark. Enough to run real jobs and decide if it fits.
- Pro — $9.99, one time: unlimited change orders, line items, photos, and projects; remote signing by link; your logo and brand color on PDFs (watermark gone); reusable line-item templates; dispute-proof mode with court-ready evidence export; QuickBooks IIF and JSON export.
That’s the whole price list. No tiers named after minerals, no per-envelope fees, no “contact sales.”
The math
A $39/month tool costs $468 a year, every year. ScopeProof Pro costs $9.99 once — less than the margin on the smallest change order it ever gets signed for you. One recovered “I never agreed to that” pays for it a hundred times over.
What you give up — honestly
ScopeProof does change orders, not everything: no scheduling, no bidding, no payroll, no team accounts. It’s an iPhone/iPad app, and it’s built offline-first — your data lives on your device, not on someone’s server with a monthly rent attached. If you need a full construction-management platform, subscribe to one. If you need extra work signed and provable before you leave the driveway, that’s exactly the tool this is.
