Pricing

Pay per project, not per seat

Two pricing types — project-based for delivery, flat and per-user only where it counts — so any size firm keeps costs low while bringing everything under one plan.

Founding Firm pricing: Lock ARK Unlimited at $119 per user, per month, for life (list $149). Start a trial today and the rate is yours.

Projex Management

Priced per project — scale up and down with your workload

Design

$34/active project/mo

The design-phase command center: scheduling & Gantt, milestones, workflows with tasks, client feedback & approval loops, deliverable sets, design meetings, and the client-facing portal.

Firms on Finance pay just $12/active project/mo — the Design rate drops from $34 when the two run together.

Bidding

$399one-time /project

The full bid cycle: public or invitation bid rooms, plan access, planholders, Q&A, tabulation, award — plus Value Engineering.

Your first bid is free. Pay once per project after that — no meter while a bid sits open.

Construction

$49/active project/mo

Construction administration: submittals, RFIs, changes (ASI/PR/CCD/CO), pay applications, field reports, and ARK View review.

Contractors, consultants, and clients participate free.

Projects marked Inactive or Archived stop the project meter entirely — their files are kept in cold storage for $0.15/GB per month on paid plans until reactivated or deleted (free accounts include a 10 GB archive pool at no charge). A typical archived project costs well under a dollar a month to keep forever.

Owner Closeout Access: keep Warranty items and O&M manuals live for the Owner after a project archives — $69/year per project. Many firms re-bill this to the Owner as a facility-records service.

The meter never runs on dead work: after 60 days without activity we prompt you to archive a dormant project, and after 120 days it archives automatically (with notice) — so you’re never billed the active rate for a project nobody has touched.

Funnel

Full CRM, sales funnel & pipeline

$79/mo · flat, whole firm

Contacts, pipelines, embeddable lead forms with speed-to-lead follow-up, multi-host booking pages, conversations, and email campaigns — one flat price, unlimited staff.

Finance

Timekeeping, budgeting, reports & invoicing

$46/user/mo

Fee budgets with phase staffing, weekly timesheets, invoices and payments, expenses, and realization / profit / forecast reports.

Bundle discount: with Finance, Design drops from $34 to $12/active project/mo firm-wide.

Pricing questions

Can I sign up now?

Yes. Self-serve signup is open — start a 30-day free trial and your workspace is created as soon as you confirm your email address. No credit card. Sign up from your firm's own email domain and it provisions immediately; signups from Gmail, Outlook and the like get a quick manual review first. Founding Firms lock ARK Unlimited at $119 per user, per month, for life.

What counts as an active project?

You're billed only for projects that are active in a given month. Mark a project Inactive or Archived and the meter stops — its files move to cold storage at $0.15/GB per month until you reactivate or delete it.

How do Finance and Design work together?

Adding Finance ($46/user/mo) discounts Design on every project: each active Design project bills at $12/mo instead of $34 — so firms running both get the whole design-through-invoice loop at the lower project rate.

Do my consultants, contractors, or clients need paid seats?

No. External parties — consultants reviewing submittals, contractors submitting pay apps or bids, clients in the portal — are always free.

Can I use just one module?

Yes. Every module stands alone: run only Bidding, only Construction, only Funnel — or the whole lifecycle under one roof.

When does ARK Unlimited beat à la carte?

Roughly at one active construction project per person (or about four design projects per person). Below that, à la carte is cheaper — above it, Unlimited saves most firms 20–40% and removes the project math entirely. You can switch between the two at any month boundary.

How does Unlimited storage work?

Unlimited includes a pooled 50 GB of active storage per seat — a 10-person firm shares 500 GB, far more than typical project loads use. Overage bills at the same $0.15/GB/mo as cold storage, and dormant projects auto-archive, so storage takes care of itself.
