What tradies say

BuildxactPricing doesn't suit casual users; data loss if unused
“Cost structure if you don't build always loss of data if you don't use it continuously. Should be a cost structure for casual users”

BuildxactPlan scaling/measurement bug not prioritised
“How we cannot measure in the plans due to manual scaling and the formatting cannot be fixed. I was told a few times that this is not a priority for the design team”
