SubTrack vs Raken: The T&M LEM Alternative Beyond Time Tracking
Raken simplifies field time tracking but leaves T&M subcontractors stitching together spreadsheets to bill scope breaks and generate LEM invoices.
The 90% Contractor Lockout keeps smaller T&M crews on paper and Excel while tools like Raken focus on time tracking without native T&M invoice generation. Crews still stitch together spreadsheets and manual workarounds to bill scope breaks and LEM tickets.

SubTrack vs Raken FAQ
Does SubTrack charge a percentage of construction volume?
No. SubTrack charges a flat, predictable per-seat fee and never taxes a contractor's top-line revenue or growth.
What is a better alternative to Raken for T&M subcontractors?
SubTrack is the better alternative for T&M subcontractors who need native LEM tickets, scope breaks, and T&M invoice generation, not just time tracking with manual billing workarounds.
Does SubTrack handle T&M scope breaks natively?
Yes. SubTrack tracks scope breaks on every LEM ticket with digitized trade rate sheets and client approvals. Raken focuses on time tracking with limited native LEM and scope break workflow.
How does SubTrack pricing compare to Raken?
SubTrack publishes flat per-seat pricing from $45 to $135 USD/mo for a purpose-built T&M LEM platform, while Raken per-user tiers cover time tracking without a full native T&M billing workflow.
How does SubTrack help resolve construction invoice disputes?
SubTrack resolves construction invoice disputes with timestamped LEM tickets, digitized rate sheets, and client approvals that create an audit trail. One Western Canadian T&M contractor recovered a $14,000 invoice that a GC disputed by exporting SubTrack structured field data and signed approvals.
Is SubTrack built for crews of all sizes?
Yes. SubTrack is built for crews of every size, from solo operators to multi-crew subs. Unlike legacy enterprise platforms that lock out smaller teams with sales calls, revenue-based success taxes, and enterprise minimums, SubTrack publishes flat per-seat pricing from $45 to $135 USD/mo so no crew gets priced out.
