PlanRadar

Tier S · Published prices

Site documentation, defect and snagging app with published prices

PlanRadar, made by PlanRadar GmbH of Vienna, is an app for site documentation, defects, snagging and inspections on plans and BIM models. It publishes per-user prices and a 30-day free trial, and runs UAE English and Arabic sites. PlanRadar says it has over 200,000 users across 75+ countries; no Gulf office address is listed.

Pros

+ Published per-user prices and a 30-day free trial
+ Unlimited subcontractors and watchers on every plan
+ Arabic-language UAE site
+ Defects and snagging tracked on digital plans

Cons

− No Gulf office address listed
− Field and QA focus, not accounting or ERP
− Per-user cost grows with the team
− Starter and Pro plans capped at 10 users

Bahrain note

Easy to trial on one Bahrain project: the 30-day free trial needs no credit card, and subcontractors join free. Support comes from outside Bahrain, as no Gulf office is listed.

Typical Bahrain pricing: Published in USD: Basic $32 a month (one user), Starter $107 and Pro $159 per user per month (each up to 10 users); annual billing saves more than 10%, according to PlanRadar. Enterprise is quote-based. 30-day free trial.

Zoho (Books)

Tier S · Published prices

Cloud accounting with a Bahrain edition, VAT reports and published prices

Zoho Books is cloud accounting from Zoho with a Bahrain edition that applies VAT to sales and purchases and produces VAT reports for filing, in English or Arabic. Zoho publishes Bahrain prices in USD, from a free plan for small businesses up to an Ultimate plan. It handles invoicing, bookkeeping and project time billing, not construction management.

Pros

+ Bahrain edition with VAT reports for filing
+ Published Bahrain prices and a free plan
+ English and Arabic interface
+ Projects with time and expense billing

Cons

− Accounting, not construction management
− No construction BOQ or job-costing module listed
− Extra users cost $2.5-$3 a month each
− Free plan ends above 50K USD revenue a year

Bahrain note

Zoho runs a Bahrain edition with VAT reports and Arabic, and its Bahrain prices are lower than its US prices. Run it alongside a site or project tool rather than expecting it to manage jobs.

Typical Bahrain pricing: Published in USD on Zoho's Bahrain site, per organisation per month, billed annually: Free $0 (revenue under 50K USD a year), Standard $15 (3 users), Professional $25 (5 users), Premium $35 (10 users), Elite $85 (10 users), Ultimate $200 (15 users). Billed monthly: $18, $30, $42, $99 and $249. Extra users $2.5 a month billed annually ($3 monthly). Prices exclude local taxes; 14-day free trial.
