ORKSTRA vs Procore
30-50% cheaper than Procore. Built for the Gulf. Arabic-first. UAE-compliant.
AI Vision that beats Procore at takeoffs.
Procore is a capable global platform β but it was built for US general contractors and treats Arabic, UAE VAT, and AED pricing as configuration problems. ORKSTRA was born in Abu Dhabi for Gulf contractors. Same modules, half the price, native compliance.

Why ORKSTRA is different
01
Triple-AI Verified Takeoffs
Procore's takeoff is one vendor. ORKSTRA runs Claude + Gemini + a self-hosted YOLO model β three independent models must agree before a quantity hits your BOQ. You trust the number, not the prompt.
02
Built for UAE compliance
FTA VAT, 9% Corporate Tax, e-invoicing readiness, MoHRE/GDRFA/WPS connectors β all native. With Procore, every one of those is a custom integration billed by an implementation partner.
03
30-50% cheaper, AED native
Procore lists at β $375/user/month USD. ORKSTRA Starter is AED 1,500/month flat (3 users). Pro at AED 6,500/month (10 users) is still less than a 4-user Procore contract β and you save up to 30,000 AED/year.

Frequently asked questions
Can ORKSTRA import data from Procore?
Yes β BOQs, project structures, RFIs, submittals and IPC history can be migrated. Migration is included free with a 30-day pilot or any annual Pro+ subscription.
Is ORKSTRA as feature-rich as Procore?
For the GCC mid-market, yes β and in several places more (Triple-AI takeoffs, FIDIC IPCs, WhatsApp field bot, UAE government connectors). Procore wins on US-centric features like AIA pay apps and OSHA forms. If you need those, Procore is the right pick.
How does pricing actually compare?
A 12-user Procore Build contract lists at roughly $4,500/month (βAED 16,500). ORKSTRA Pro at AED 6,500/month includes 10 users plus AI invoice scanning, Triple-AI takeoffs and Material Intelligence. Net annual saving: AED 120,000+.
