plancraft and other programs in comparison

Whether it's Winworker, Taifun or SmartHandwerk - there are tons of tradesman software out there. But all of these programs have one thing in common: you have to download them first, update them again and again and often only have them locally on your office computer. The advantage of cloud software, on the other hand, is that you can access your documents from all of your devices. That saves a huge amount of time! One tradesman software that you can simply open in your browser is plancraft.

You can create an account directly in your browser and get started. After that, there are no annoying updates, maintenance costs or crashes.
The office software is always with you: whether on the construction site on your tablet or on your laptop in the office. You can always access your account.
Absolute security: Your data is always protected and can only be viewed by you. Even if your computer crashes, nothing is lost.
Flexibility: Choose a monthly or annual package to ensure you don't spend too much money on one program.
Traditional software with installation
Before you can get started, you must first download the program and also manually take care of updates.
To access your projects, you first have to drive to the office. This can be a real time-consuming process.
Crashes or computer failures can result in data loss because it is stored locally on your computer.
Downloadable programs often have high entry costs, which can be a major hurdle, especially for smaller companies.
