Which should you choose?
An honest recommendation
Choose Fieldwire if…
If your main need is day-to-day field coordination — viewing and marking up plans, assigning tasks across the crew — Fieldwire is mature and well-liked for exactly that, and the free tier is a fair way to start.
Choose IssuesId if…
If you need a structured defect/QA register with inspection sign-off and a compliance handover artefact, and you want trades included rather than paying per user as the team grows.
Frequently asked
Is IssuesId a Fieldwire alternative?
Yes. Both run on the jobsite and both do punch lists. Fieldwire is task- and plan-markup-centric; IssuesId is built around the defect/QA register and the compliance handover, with per-site pricing that includes trades and inspectors.
How does trade/sub-contractor access compare?
Fieldwire charges per user, so cost grows as you add people (it has a free tier up to 5 users). IssuesId gives sub-contractors a no-login link by email and includes all users in the per-site price, which suits jobs with many occasional trade users.
Do both work offline?
Yes. Fieldwire markets offline use for tunnels and basements, and IssuesId is offline-first by design, syncing automatically when you reconnect.
