Alternatives to Countfire
Other Construction estimating vendors we measure, sorted by how much they publish that Countfire does not. This is a comparison of disclosure, not of features or fitness.
12 shown of 22 that differ from Countfire on at least one criterion we measured for both. Public transparency score, not a product or security rating.
Countfire has 7 gaps in what we could measure: Data processing agreement, Subprocessor list, Status page with history, Uptime SLA with a figure, No third-party tracking before consent, security.txt (RFC 9116), Notice before subprocessors change. The column “publishes and Countfire does not” is the one that closes them.
