Start with the job
Make the choice around your team
Choose SnagSort when you want a focused, project-aware defect workflow and broad participation within one project subscription.
Keep Fieldwire when its drawing, task and wider field-management tools already fit the team, or its established verification process is working well. Its standard paid plans include unlimited projects, and custom unlimited-user arrangements may change the cost comparison.
Invite the working team
SnagSort's web plans charge for active-project capacity and include unlimited authorised internal users, contractors and viewers. Bringing another inspector onto the same job does not add a standard seat fee. Pick the project allowance you actually need.
Bring the requirement to the observation
Use supplied drawings and specifications to find relevant project context and check AI-assisted drafts. A photograph can show the condition; the linked source helps the person reviewing it judge what should be there.
Keep responsibility clear
The contractor submits completion evidence. The authorised inspector accepts it or returns it with a reason. SnagSort brings this distinction into its defect journey; Fieldwire also offers verification, so test clarity and effort rather than assuming an exclusive feature.

See the work, then test it
A fit-out PM with three trades and a second inspector
Illustrative workflow: a refurbishment team has one shared list, several finishing trades and two people inspecting. The PM needs the next visit to advance the record rather than produce another disconnected list.
Capture the condition
Photograph a loose access panel, review the draft description and action, and confirm its room or drawing pin. The user checks the requirement rather than accepting an AI guess.
Issue the right scope
Assign the responsible trade and share the relevant work. The contractor responds against that item instead of sending a photograph that someone must later match to the register.
Verify on the next visit
The second authorised inspector reviews completion evidence and records acceptance or a reason for return. Keep the item history connected as inspectors change.
The buying test is whether the team can complete those steps with less total administration and a clear acceptance record.

Questions your team will ask
SnagSort vs Fieldwire: answers
Is SnagSort a Fieldwire alternative for snagging?
Yes, for teams evaluating a focused defect and closeout workflow. SnagSort combines photographs, supplied project context, contractor evidence and inspector decisions. Whether it is a better fit depends on the tasks and wider Fieldwire functions your team uses.
Does Fieldwire already verify completed punch items?
Yes. Fieldwire publishes a two-step verification process. SnagSort's case is the combined project-aware journey and active-project pricing, not the claim that Fieldwire has no verification.
Would a large inspection team need more SnagSort seats?
Current SnagSort web plans include unlimited authorised internal users, contractors and viewers. The plan allowance concerns active projects. Permissions still determine who can inspect, edit, share or accept work.
Are the £330 and £39 figures a like-for-like saving?
No. The example compares ten advertised Fieldwire Pro paid seats with SnagSort Team's project capacity. Billing periods, unlimited-project scope, functionality, taxes and custom Fieldwire terms can differ. Obtain the package your workflow actually requires.
Can I move an existing Fieldwire project automatically?
This comparison does not establish a native Fieldwire migration or live sync. Review an available export and test a small sample for item references, status, location and evidence associations before transferring work.
How should we test SnagSort against Fieldwire?
Use the same twenty representative items, devices and source documents. Count setup, reviewed capture, corrections, report issue, contractor response and verification work. Keep unresolved items visible and decide whether the improvement justifies changing tools.
