Snag list and OPR software: 2026 comparison and pricing
Updated 7 June 2026
Snag list software lets the architect managing execution log every reserve during the OPR, assign it to the responsible subcontractor, track it to its deadline, and then generate the reception PV. The six most-used tools on the French market are Kizeo Forms (from 15 €/user/month), Archipad (49.99 €/seat/month), BatiScript (price on request), Fieldwire (free tier, then $39/user/month), Finalcad/Orisha (from 29 €/user/month) and Builddar (from 25 €/licence/month). This comparison gives the real entry price, the free trial, and the OPR, levée des réserves, and reception PV coverage of each. Prices verified 7 June 2026, excluding VAT.

How to choose snag list software
Choosing snag list software comes down to four criteria: plan-based capture, compliance with the French workflow (EXE4 for the OPR report, EXE8 for the PV de levée des réserves), electronic signature of the PV, and price per user. An architect inspecting the site needs to pin each reserve on the plan, not just fill in a form.
The market splits in two. Forms-based tools like Kizeo Forms are the cheapest (15 €/user/month) but offer neither plan-based capture nor native EXE4/EXE8 templates. Dedicated tools like Archipad (49.99 €) and BatiScript (price on request) cover the full French workflow but cost more or hide their pricing.
Builddar sits in the gap between them: plan-based, native EXE4 and EXE8, electronic signature, and an audit trail defensible across the 10 years of decennial liability, from 25 €/licence/month, with subcontractors free for life. It is the rarest combination on the market: a dedicated tool at the price of a generic one.
What is the cheapest snag list software
The cheapest snag list software is Kizeo Forms, at 15 €/user/month on annual billing. It handles levée des réserves, OPR, and the reception PV via form templates, with photos, signature, and offline mode. Its limitation: it is not plan-based, which makes it less suited to an architect who inspects zone by zone.
For a dedicated, plan-based tool, Builddar is the most accessible at 25 €/licence/month, ahead of Finalcad (≈ 29 €), Fieldwire Pro ($39), and Archipad (49.99 €). Fieldwire and Finalcad also offer a limited free tier, useful for testing on a small project.
The right trade-off is not price alone. A non-compliant reception PV or an unevidenced reserve costs more than a subscription. The decisive question is: does the tool produce a signed EXE8 and an audit trail that holds for 10 years?
What Builddar does differently
Builddar is the construction quality operating system for architects managing OPR, execution, and reception. Each reserve logged on-site in 30 seconds, with location, trade, photo, and deadline, becomes structured data that feeds directly into the OPR report (EXE4) and then the reception PV (EXE8).
Where forms-based tools require re-keying data into a template, and enterprise tools bill above 49 € or on request, Builddar generates the PV from data already captured, from 25 €/licence/month. Subcontractors receive their reserves for free by email and SMS, and reminders fire automatically until each reserve is cleared.
