BatiCore vs Procore: the right tool for the size of your job sites
Procore, on quote by construction volume; BatiCore, at a published price for the Québec contractor: CCQ payroll, releases, data in Québec — compared.
Procore is a world reference in construction management: a powerful tool, built to coordinate large job sites. BatiCore is designed in Québec, for the general or specialty contractor here, from the estimate to payroll. They do not play the same role, and they can even coexist. Here is the comparison. Every fact about Procore was checked on its website on October 31, 2026.

What Procore does well
- Coordinating large job sites. Requests for information (RFIs), submittals, a 3D model viewer and coordination issues linked to RFIs.
- Hundreds of integrations with other software.
- Unlimited users, with training and support included.
- A real Canadian presence. An interface in Canadian French, offices in Toronto and Edmonton, clients in Québec.
- A bidding tool linked to a network of companies.
What BatiCore does for the Québec contractor
- A published price, known before the first call. $99 or $179 CAD per month, and the pricing calculator gives the exact price for your team. Procore publishes no price list: it is an annual fee paid upfront, based on your construction volume. Third parties estimate it, without confirmation from Procore, from a few thousand to more than US$100,000 per year.
- Try it today. 7 days free, no credit card. At Procore, you request a demo.
- Construction payroll. BatiCore prepares CCQ payroll, the CCQ monthly report, T4s, Relevés 1 and remittances. Procore exports timesheets to payroll software (QuickBooks Desktop, Sage 300 CRE); its public documentation does not mention the CCQ.
- Québec-law releases. Partial and final, signed online by the subcontractor. Procore Pay's lien-waiver exchange follows American law, state by state, and is offered in the United States only.
- Québec subcontractors at no cost. In BatiCore, your subcontractor answers your bid requests and uploads their documents without paying or creating an account. Procore's free account, used to answer bid invitations, is limited according to Procore to businesses outside of Québec.
- Your data in Québec. Hosting at OVHcloud in Beauharnois (Law 25 details), terms governed by the laws of Québec. At Procore, files can be stored in Canada, but application data stays in the United States, the United Kingdom or Europe. Its data protection page cites the European GDPR and the California law, neither Law 25 nor the Canadian federal law.
- QST and the holdback, the Québec way. In BatiCore from day one. Procore's multi-tax platform has been in beta since September 1, 2026, and its page does not name Québec.
And the Québec company that has grown?
That is the role of BatiCore's Enterprise plan, on quote: several branches, API access to connect your systems, the client portal on your own domain (white label), users and terms negotiated in the contract — with the same Québec compliance as every plan. Tell us about your structure: it is a quote, not a price list.
The two can coexist
If a project owner imposes Procore to coordinate their job site, you answer in it — and you run your business in BatiCore: your estimates, your CCQ payroll, your invoices. The two tools do not exclude each other.

| Your situation | Indicated tool |
