Does DrawFort charge a percentage of my contract like Textura?

No. Textura documents a 0.22% sub-side usage fee (capped at $5,000 per project) charged when you accept a contract. DrawFort is a flat $34/month no matter how large your contracts are.

Can I use DrawFort instead of Textura?

If a GC mandates Textura for their project, you'll submit through it there. For every other GC, DrawFort lets you produce and send your own AIA G702/G703 without per-contract fees.

Why do some subcontractors look for a Textura alternative?

Subcontractors have reported disliking paying a percentage of their contract to receive payment, and that the GC — not the sub — decides to use it. DrawFort flips that: you choose it, and it's a flat fee.

Compare / DrawFort vs. Textura

The Textura alternative for subcontractor pay apps

Oracle Textura is an enterprise payment platform that general contractors and owners mandate — and on the subcontractor side, you pay a fee based on your contract value to get paid through it. DrawFort is the independent, flat-priced alternative for producing your own pay apps.

What Textura is

Oracle Textura Payment Management runs the full draw-to-payment process — pay applications, approvals, lien-waiver and compliance collection, and electronic disbursement — used mostly by owners and large general contractors.

A note on pricing

On the subcontractor side, Oracle documents a usage fee of 0.22% of your contract value (no minimum, capped at $5,000 per project for contracts created on or after Jan 19, 2023), charged when you accept the contract. Owner/GC pricing isn't public. DrawFort never takes a percentage of your contract — it's $34/month flat.

What Textura does that DrawFort doesn't

We're focused on pay-app billing, which means there are real things Texturadoes and we don't. If you need these, Textura may be the better fit:

Electronic payment disbursement and funds-control-style processing.
Integrated lien-waiver and compliance enforcement across all tiers.
A full owner→GC→sub payment network with approval routing.
