Home › Pricing
One price, printed on the page — the way the big permit companies won't do it. Construction Monitor sells market-by-market, category-by-category through a shop and a sales team; ConstructConnect charges per market and per seat, billed annually (verified on their own pages, 2026-11-11 — see the comparisons). PermitBoards is one flat price for the thing a small shop actually buys: your county, your trade, every morning.
Start the paid plan — $79/mo Free 14-day sample first
Starting means starting the free sample — the card step happens once, at day-14 conversion, only if you choose it. Additional counties or trades are added at the same flat rate each; the bundled rate for multi-market shops is set at signup.
The first 50 shops lock $49/mo for life — 50 founding seats, counted from real subscriptions, never padded. Founding pricing is locked for the life of the subscription and is assigned at checkout while seats remain; the seat count is read from the real subscriber database, never rounded or padded. A one-off county report ($29) does not consume a founding seat — seats are for subscriptions only. After the 50 seats, the standard $79/mo is the only price.
