KaChing vs Buildertrend The construction-management heavyweight

Buildertrend is excellent for general contractors managing complex multi-month builds, but it's overkill (and overpriced) for kitchen/bath/specialty remodelers who need a simpler workflow. KaChing matches the client portal + selection workflow without the construction-PM bloat.
