Which should you choose?

An honest recommendation

Choose Dalux if…
If your work is BIM-led and you want to view models and coordinate clashes with defects pinned in 3D context — and a free starting tier is appealing — Dalux is a strong, well-reviewed choice.
Choose IssuesId if…
If your workflow is driven by the defect register and QA sign-off rather than a BIM model, you want customisable inspection checklists and compliance handover packs, and you’re on Australian projects.
Frequently asked
Is IssuesId a Dalux alternative?
Yes, for defect and QA management. Dalux is BIM-model-centric — its gravity is a 3D/IFC viewer with defects pinned onto the model. IssuesId is defect-workflow-centric and doesn’t require a BIM model, focusing on fast capture, QA checklists and compliance handover.
Does IssuesId need a BIM model like Dalux?
No. IssuesId works from photos, locations, QR codes and drawings without a full BIM model, which keeps it simple for site teams and sub-contractors. Dalux is at its strongest when you’re working from an IFC/BIM model.
Dalux has a free tier — does IssuesId?
Dalux offers a free BIM Viewer and Field Basic tier. IssuesId offers a two-week pilot on a live project, no card, and prices per active site (all users included) rather than per seat. Compare both for how many users and projects you actually need.
