"Before TaskTag, we were bouncing between paper sheets, whiteboards, and different systems that never worked well for both the office and the field."

Read MoreTaskTag vs Manifold FAQ
Common questions, straight answers for contractors comparing the two platforms.
TaskTag Teams is $16/Member/Mo billed yearly for admins and managers. Crew members, subcontractors, and other contributors always join and use TaskTag for free — no per-seat fees, ever. A free plan is also available for small teams getting started.
No. TaskTag has no long-term contracts and no cancellation fees. You can cancel anytime, and annual billing is optional — it just unlocks the lower per-member rate.
Most crews are up and running within a day. There's no formal training required — if your team can use a group chat app, they can use TaskTag. Invite your crew, they download the app, and they're clocking in and logging photos the same day.
No migration is required to get started. TaskTag doesn't import 3D scans or point-cloud data from Manifold, since that's a different kind of tool — but your active projects, crew, and task lists can be set up fresh in minutes without needing historical data.
TaskTag works for crews of any size — from a two-person outfit to a multi-job operation. Pricing only scales with your paid admin seats, so adding more field crew, subs, or clients never increases your bill.
Yes. Subs, clients, and vendors can all be invited into a project as free contributors. They see the photos, tasks, and updates relevant to their scope, without needing a paid seat or access to your whole account.
Every photo is tagged directly to the task and project it belongs to, timestamped, and GPS-located automatically. Unlike tools built purely around visual capture, TaskTag ties each photo to the workflow — so it shows up next to the task, chat thread, and report it's documenting.
Yes. TaskTag includes daily reporting and punch list tracking built in, so photos, notes, and task status collected throughout the day roll up into a report automatically — no separate app or manual write-up needed.
Stop juggling apps. Run your jobs in one place.
Save time, reduce miscommunication, and keep every project documented from day one
with the ultimate construction communication app.
