Open comparisonSite Samurai vs JobLogic
The problem: contractors running long project schemes often try to stretch a field service platform into project delivery — and lose visibility on applications for payment, CIS deductions, and Construction Act deadlines. The fix: pick the tool built for your operating model. JobLogic is a capable UK field service management platform for mechanical, electrical, and FM service contractors. Site Samurai is a UK project-based construction platform with native NEC/JCT applications for payment, Construction Act s.111 pay less notices, HMRC CIS verification, and RAMS execution.
Open comparisonSite Samurai vs Procore
The problem: Procore is a mature US-originated enterprise platform priced and implemented for large main contractors with annual turnover-based contracts and dedicated rollout teams. UK SMEs who buy it typically inherit a bill and a project plan that do not match their operating model. The fix: pick based on operating scale. Site Samurai is UK SME-first with NEC/JCT native applications for payment, HMRC CIS verification, CDM 2015 RAMS, transparent £99/£199/£699 pricing, and unlimited users on every plan. Procore is the right answer at Tier-1 main contractor scale. Site Samurai is the right answer for everyone else.
Open comparisonSite Samurai vs Payapps
The problem: Payapps is a well-built specialist for one workflow — progress claims between a main contractor and its subcontractors. If that is the only gap you have, it fits. But most UK SME subcontractors have four gaps, not one: the application, the CIS deduction on the money going out, the retention still owed, and the site records that justify the valuation. The fix: decide whether you are buying a claims exchange or an operating system. Site Samurai covers applications for payment inside a platform that also runs CIS, purchase orders, RAMS and site records, at £99/£199/£699 per month with unlimited users.
