AxionBuild alternative
AxionBuild Alternative — Stable, AI-First Job Costing for Contractors.
AxionBuild's primary website is currently inaccessible (April 2026). If you were evaluating them, here's a maintained, AI-first option built and run by a working Texas contractor.
Free plan: 3 projects, 50 receipts a month. No credit card. Some features require a paid plan.
Why a stable platform matters
When the software you depend on for job costing has an inaccessible website, the safe move is to evaluate alternatives. JobCost Pro is actively maintained — multiple production releases per week — and built by a contractor who runs jobs on the same app every day.
This is the actual app
Actively maintained
Production deploys multiple times per week, and a real human answers at chris@jobcostpro.online when something needs attention.
AI-first, not AI-bolted-on
Receipt scanning, voice capture, project matching, and budget warnings are core to the product, not stitched on after the fact.
Built by a working contractor
The owner runs Salvation Home Remodeling in Fort Worth. Every workflow comes from a real job, not a product manager's slide deck.
Free plan: 3 projects, 50 receipts a month. No credit card. Some features require a paid plan.
AI receipt scanning + voice capture
Snap or speak. Receipts get the right job suggested; one tap confirms it. Line items and returns parsed. Voice works in browsers with speech input, like Chrome and Safari, and in the iPhone app on version 1.0.8 or newer.
Per-project P&L from costs recorded so far
Live margin, live budget vs actual, budget warnings.
GPS time tracking + mileage
Geofenced jobsites, a forgotten-shift backstop, IRS-rate mileage logging.
Native invoicing + payment tracking
Branded invoices with your bank or check details, payments recorded against the job, a client portal — no add-on subscription.
Bilingual app + AI
Full Spanish UI and AI that responds in the user's preferred language.
Real free tier
Free plan: three projects and 50 receipts a month. No credit card to try.
Pricing for a working contractor
Free for 3 projects. Pro at $29.99/mo unlimited projects. Contractor at $49.99/mo with unlimited crew + GPS.
Simple pricing
Less than a single trip to Home Depot.

Who built this
Chris Sibley — remodeling contractor, Fort Worth, TX
Chris closed a $42,000 bathroom remodel thinking he’d made 30%. His accountant ran the real numbers months later: 12% — $7,500 in receipts never made it onto the job. He built Job Cost Pro so that never happens again, and still runs his remodeling company with it every day. That company is the legal entity behind this app: Salvation Home Remodeling LLC, doing business as Job Cost Pro.
FAQ
What happened to AxionBuild?
As of April 2026, the AxionBuild domain redirects to a parked-domain page rather than a working application. We can't speak to their internal status — only to what's publicly visible. If you've heard otherwise, contact AxionBuild directly. JobCost Pro is operational and supported.
Is JobCost Pro AI-first?
Yes. The core workflows — receipt parsing, project matching, voice capture, AI memory across conversations — are built around modern LLMs, not retrofitted onto a legacy code base.
Will my data be safe?
Encrypted at rest, encrypted in transit, hosted on Vercel + Supabase Pro. Daily automated backups. SOC-aligned access controls. Account deletion is one click and removes all data.
How fast can I switch?
Sign up, add a project, and scan your first receipts the same day. There's no implementation call.
