Frequently Asked Questions

For a full-featured plan, yes. Fieldwire's Business plan runs $54/user/month, and costs climb quickly for larger site teams. YAPL starts at $15/month per workspace for 3 members, and while it doesn't replace Fieldwire's blueprint markup tools, it's a lot less expensive for teams that need project-level scheduling.

YAPL's Professional tier supports importing and exporting standard file formats, so you can bring your project data across when adding YAPL alongside or instead of Fieldwire. There's a 14-day free trial with no credit card required to test it out first.

No. Fieldwire has no Gantt charts, no critical path analysis, and no project-level scheduling at all; it's built around tasks and punch lists tied to drawing sheets rather than a timeline. YAPL provides exactly what Fieldwire lacks: full Gantt scheduling, WBS hierarchies, and critical path analysis.

For simple, on-site task creation, yes; Fieldwire is easy to learn and its native mobile apps are genuinely industry-leading for field use, with minimal training needed. YAPL takes more to learn because it's handling full project-level scheduling, dependencies, and timeline management that Fieldwire was never designed for.

Choose YAPL if you need actual project scheduling: Gantt charts, WBS, critical path analysis, and draft-and-publish versioning for safe schedule updates. Choose Fieldwire if your priority is field-level coordination: blueprint and plan markup, punch list management, and mobile apps purpose-built for on-site crews. Many teams end up wanting both for different jobs.
