// DuoApp vs Procore · UK

The UK Procore alternative built for contractors, not enterprises.

Procore is a genuinely capable enterprise platform - and for large main contractors running complex multi-stakeholder programmes it earns its place. But its pricing is quoted against your annual construction volume rather than published, and rolling it out is a project in itself. DuoApp gives UK contractors and subcontractors the workflows they actually use - projects, CIS invoicing, approvals, timesheets, QA and documents - on a flat £10 per user, per month, live in days.

// The honest version

Where each one is stronger.

No tool wins every category. Here is where Procore is the better answer, and where DuoApp is.

DuoApp vs Procore

US · Enterprise PM

Where Procore is strong

A very deep feature set - drawings, RFIs, submittals and document control at real scale
Strong fit for large main contractors running complex, multi-stakeholder programmes
Mature ecosystem with a large integration and app marketplace
Well-established brand that procurement teams already recognise

Where DuoApp wins

Transparent £10 per user pricing published on the site - no volume-based quote
UK CIS deductions, retention and subcontractor payment workflows are native, not configured
Live in days without a dedicated system administrator or paid consultancy
Right-sized for small and growing UK firms rather than enterprise programmes
Quality control and snagging work fully offline and sync when signal returns

Bottom line: Procore is a powerful enterprise platform, but volume-based pricing and implementation overhead are hard to justify for most UK contractors and subcontractors. DuoApp delivers the workflows you will actually use - at a price you can see up front, live this week.

// Making the move

What switching actually involves.

Most teams moving from Procore are not leaving because it lacks features. They are leaving because they were paying for a programme-scale platform to run projects that did not need one.

Bring your projects across in an afternoon

Import your live projects, contract values and team, and set your CIS and retention rules once. Historic documents can be uploaded into the file manager as you go rather than in a big-bang migration.

No parallel-running period

Because there is no implementation phase, most teams run their next new project in DuoApp and leave existing ones to finish where they are. Nothing has to be cut over on a single date.

Your site team does not need retraining

The mobile app is the product, not a companion to it. Site staff sign off QA, submit timesheets and upload photos without a training session.

Questions buyers ask us.

Is there a cheaper alternative to Procore in the UK?

Yes. Procore is priced on a custom quote tied to your annual construction volume and is aimed at larger contractors, which often makes it expensive for small and mid-sized UK firms. DuoApp is a published £10 per user, per month with every feature included, native UK CIS workflows, and no per-project or volume-based fees. See our pricing →

How much does Procore cost in the UK?

Procore does not publish list pricing. Quotes are built around your annual construction volume, so two firms with the same headcount can pay very different amounts, and the figure typically rises as you grow. DuoApp publishes a single £10 per user, per month rate that does not change with turnover or project count.

Does Procore handle UK CIS?

Procore is a US-headquartered platform and CIS is not one of its native, out-of-the-box workflows - UK firms generally handle deductions in their finance system or through configuration and integration. DuoApp treats CIS as a first-class feature: deductions, verification status, retention and split payments are built into invoicing as standard. See how retention and deductions work →

How long does DuoApp take to set up compared to Procore?

DuoApp customers are typically up and running in days, with no setup fee and no consultants required. Enterprise platforms such as Procore are usually deployed through a structured implementation that commonly runs to weeks or months and often includes paid onboarding.

Is DuoApp a good Procore alternative for subcontractors?

It is one of the closest fits. Subcontractors rarely need drawing-management and submittal workflows at programme scale, but they do need applications, CIS-compliant invoicing, retention tracking, variations and a mobile app the site team will open. That is precisely the shape of DuoApp - and every user, including your own subbies and clients, is the same flat £10.
