Marks reflect scope, not quality. Buildertrend is good at what it was built for.

Where Buildertrend is strong
  • The deepest feature set in residential construction software
  • Strong scheduling, daily logs, and client communication
  • A large integration ecosystem and mature mobile apps
Where Yglu fills the gap
  • Does not build or host your public website or run your marketing
  • Feature tiers add up and the price climbs after the intro period
  • A steep learning curve, and you operate on a platform you rent
Proof, not talk

Matt Noss Construction runs on Yglu.

Work has been featured in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal — coverage that is uncommon for a regional custom home builder and that the firm cites as evidence the work stands on its own outside East Tennessee.
