The short answer
Start with SubTrack if
- You want a purpose-built T&M / LEM workflow first.
- You want published pricing and a self-serve trial.
- You are moving off paper or Excel, not replacing an operations suite.
Ontraccr may already be in the mix if
- You want a configurable contractor operating platform.
- You are ready for a sales-led evaluation of broader field-to-office workflows.
- You need to solve T&M as one of several operations problems at once.

Why contractors start with SubTrack
Start smaller
Solve the T&M workflow before deploying a broader operating system.
Get to value faster
Create an account, load project rates, and use SubTrack on a real job without waiting for a full software rollout.
Built around field adoption
The product is designed for supervisors and crews who do not have time for lengthy training.
See the price
Published subscription pricing lets contractors understand the commitment before speaking with sales.
Grow modularly
Add more contractor workflows as the business needs them rather than replacing the original system.
Start with the LEM. Build the operating system around it.
The LEM is SubTrack's entry point, not the end state. Once the field record contains trusted project, labor, equipment, material, rate, scope and approval data, adjacent workflows can reuse that same foundation.

Automation
Start with one workflow. Grow without switching platforms.
Each workflow builds on the same projects, people, equipment, rates, scopes and field history. Roadmap and longer-term items are labeled and are not live production features.
Why start focused?
Many smaller contractors are not choosing between SubTrack and a massive enterprise deployment. They are choosing between new software and the paper, spreadsheets and custom tools they already know. SubTrack is designed to make that first software decision easier.
Less change at once
Start with the workflow already causing billing pain.
Less training
Give field crews a focused workflow instead of introducing an entire operating system.
Room to grow
Add more connected workflows as the contractor becomes ready for them.
