Newforma Project Center vs PlanRadar

Newforma Project Center is an on-premise Project Information Management solution for architecture, engineering, construction, and owner/operator firms. It brings project data and email from applications, platforms, and storage locations into a centralized view where teams can search for information. Project email can be accessible and searchable to the whole team. Document-control tools support issuing packages, managing revisions, and tracking status; the Contract Management Edition automates workflows for RFIs, submittals, and change orders. Project Center Connectors exchange information with existing tools and feed the centralized view. Listed integrations include Autodesk ACC, BIM 360, Revit, Navisworks, Microsoft 365, SharePoint Online, Procore, Bluebeam Studio, Bentley ProjectWise, and others. Communication between Project Center Servers and Info Exchange is encrypted with digital certificates. Clients must be connected to a Project Center Server and do not work without an active connection. Mobile apps are free to download, but customers need Tenth Edition or higher to use them; each app may be used on one project at no charge, while additional projects require an applicable subscription unless unlimited access is provided. Pricing is on request.

PlanRadar is a construction and building condition assessment platform for field management, documentation and reporting. Its workflows include defect management and punch lists, daily logs, inspections, checklists, safety audits, handovers and evidence collection. Teams can work with digital plans and BIM models, with allowances that vary by subscription. Mobile users can continue offline; locally stored changes synchronize to the cloud when internet access returns. PlanRadar Connect provides access to over 200 apps, including SharePoint, OneDrive, Power BI, SAP, Oracle, Jira and Slack, alongside Open API and webhook support. The web app runs in a browser on modern computers, and mobile apps are available for iOS and Android. The company says US customers' data is hosted on AWS servers in the United States. Basic is $32 a month per user, and the 30-day trial requires no credit card. The trial is described as obligation-free, and users can download project data if they do not subscribe.
