## Comparisons

Plinth is NOT project management software. It is purpose-built for client communication — the gap between a builder's daily work and a homeowner's understanding.

Unlike BuilderTrend, CoConstruct, or Procore:
- No training required (90-second workflow)
- No homeowner account or app download needed
- Priced for small crews ($79/month vs $200–$500+/month)
- Mobile-first, works offline on rural jobsites

## Technical

Built with Next.js 16 (App Router), Supabase (Postgres, Auth, Realtime, Edge Functions), Stripe, Tailwind CSS, and shadcn/ui. Deployed on Vercel.
