Dreeven vs SubmitX: collaborative field management or SMB ERP, which to choose in 2026?

Dreeven: overview and what the platform does well

Dreeven describes itself as a "collaborative construction project management" platform, "proudly developed in Quebec" by Dreeven Technologies, with the mention "since 2016". It is aimed at general and specialty contractors, professionals (engineers, architects), real estate developers, and municipalities and governments.

The strengths we can verify

• Broad job site coverage: progress dashboards, resource and equipment allocation, timesheets, document management, change requests, photos, daily reports, requests (RFIs, tasks, observations, deficiencies), plans with measurements and markups, work orders, purchase orders and shop drawings.
• Inexpensive external collaborators: subcontractors and professionals can be invited; the first 25 "Collaborator" licences are free.
• Role-based pricing: manager, superintendent, worker and collaborator do not have the same price, which matches the reality of a job site team.
• Quebec integrations: Acomba, Maestro, Avantage, Nethris, Vision Constructeur (Acceo), Rétro-Entrepreneur (Hydro-Québec), The General Estimator, Algo and CTRL are named on its Integrations page.
• A mobile app, "Dreeven Photos", on the App Store and Google Play, and mobile access to plans and requests.
• Interface in French and English.

For a general contractor coordinating many parties on the same job site, this collaborative approach is a real asset.

Dreeven and SubmitX pricing

According to Dreeven's Pricing page (viewed on October 26, 2026), the price is calculated per licence per month, based on each user's role. The currency is not specified (only the "$" symbol appears):

• Manager: $80/month per licence, or $65/month from 10 licences. According to the FAQ, this role "includes all features".
• Superintendent: $30/month per licence, or $25/month from 10 licences.
• Worker: $6/month per licence (in batches of 5), or $4/month from 25 licences.
• Collaborator (subcontractors, professionals): free for the first 25 licences, then $0.50/month per licence (in batches of 25).
• Dreeven mentions "preferential rates" for eligible businesses and lets you adjust the number of licences at any time.

We found no mention of a free trial or implementation fees: the calls to action lead to a demo. An example for perspective: 1 manager, 2 superintendents and 10 workers come to 80 + 60 + 60 = $200 per month according to this grid, before taxes and without knowing the currency. Ask Dreeven for a quote for your case.

SubmitX provides its prices on request, depending on the plan: Free, Starter (up to 3 users), Pro (up to 25 users) and Ultra (25 users and more). 7-day trial with no card. See Pricing.

Language, Quebec and data

Dreeven is offered in French and English and developed in Quebec. On the pages we viewed, we found no information on where data is hosted.

SubmitX hosts its database and files in Canada (AWS ca-central-1, Montreal). Some subprocessors are in the United States (AI, application hosting, payments, emails); the list is published in our security FAQ. Law 25 (Quebec's privacy law) applies in both cases.

CCQ payroll, GST/QST, SEAO and AI

• CCQ payroll: we found no mention of the CCQ (Commission de la construction du Québec) at Dreeven (checked on October 26, 2026). Dreeven handles timesheets and names integrations with Nethris and Avantage; payroll would therefore be done in those programs. SubmitX includes CCQ payroll.
• GST/QST and invoicing: we found no client invoicing module and no mention of GST/QST at Dreeven; accounting goes through an "integration with the accounting system". SubmitX issues invoices, progress billing and holdbacks, calculates GST and QST and collects payments online (Stripe).
• SEAO: Dreeven lists tender management among its modules, but we found no SEAO monitoring. SubmitX sends alerts on new Quebec public calls for tenders (learn more).
• AI: we found no AI feature on Dreeven's pages. SubmitX offers AI draft quotes (Titan 3.5 engine) that you must review before sending, and PDF plan reading.

Dreeven vs SubmitX comparison table

Dreeven or SubmitX: who is each one for?

Dreeven is a better fit if…

• You are a general contractor, developer or project owner and you coordinate many parties (subcontractors, engineers, architects) on the same plans.
• You already use Acomba, Maestro, Avantage or Nethris and want a job site tool that connects to it.
• You prefer a vendor that has been around for several years and role-based pricing.

SubmitX is a fit if…

• You want to manage the quote, the project, CCQ payroll, the invoice and payment collection in a single software.
• You want AI to prepare your quotes and SEAO monitoring.
• You want a permanent Free plan, a trial with no card and a price in CAD adapted to your team.
• You accept a young company (public launch in June 2026), with few independent reviews, and an AI that can make mistakes: every generated quote must be reviewed by you.

Our limitations are detailed on the SubmitX pros and cons page. If you are also comparing with an accounting ERP, see the Maestro alternative and the Acomba alternative.
