Side-by-side comparison
| Dimension | Clearstory | Revecta |
|---|---|---|
| Primary buyer | GCs, specialty contractors, and owners — all three parties on a shared platform | Specialty subcontractors — the trade doing field-directed work |
| Where the workflow starts | The change order log, shared between GC and sub | The foreman's phone, at the point of field-directed work |
| GC participation required | Yes — the collaborative workflow requires both parties to be on Clearstory | No — GC approval works via a secure link, no account required |
| T&M field capture | T&M mobile app included as part of the platform | Core product workflow — field capture is where Revecta starts |
| Revenue Recovery Engine | Not the primary focus — Clearstory focuses on change order workflow speed | Deterministic rules scan all documented field work for unbilled items |
| Pricing model | Enterprise pricing, contact for quote | Starting at $149/month — see the pricing section on the homepage |
When each tool makes more sense
Consider Clearstory when:
- ▸Your GC is already on Clearstory and requires you to use their shared platform
- ▸Your primary need is a shared change order log that GCs, subs, and owners all update
- ▸You want a platform built for multi-party collaboration across the entire change order workflow
- ▸Your operation has the budget for enterprise pricing and the need for a full-platform approach
Consider Revecta when:
- ●Your primary need is field capture — logging verbal directives and T&M scope at the point of direction
- ●Your GCs use different platforms and you can't depend on them joining yours
- ●You want a Revenue Recovery Engine that actively scans documented work for unbilled items
- ●You're a specialty sub who needs field-to-billing traceability without requiring the GC to change anything
Frequently asked questions
Who is Clearstory built for?
Clearstory is a collaborative change order platform designed for all three parties on a commercial project — GCs, specialty contractors, and owners. Its primary workflow is managing the change order log shared between those parties, with T&M mobile capture as one feature within a broader collaboration platform.
Who is Revecta built for?
Revecta is built specifically for the specialty subcontractor — the trade that does field-directed work and needs to prove it to bill it. The workflow starts in the field with the foreman's phone, not in the GC's change order log. It's a field-capture and billing-proof tool first, not a collaboration platform.
Does Revecta require the GC to be on the platform?
No. GC approval in Revecta works via a secure link — the GC clicks, reviews the Proof-of-Work document, and approves without creating an account. The sub's workflow doesn't depend on getting the GC onto a shared platform.
Is Revecta a Clearstory alternative?
For specialty subcontractors whose primary need is field capture, T&M documentation, and billing proof — not a shared GC change order log — Revecta is worth evaluating. The two tools have overlapping use cases but are built around different workflow assumptions and different primary buyers.
