Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) bundles BIM, document management and AI features for design-led teams. Marapone is eight reading programs on a published subscription, from $69 a month. Different shape, different price, and often used side by side.
Your firm is design-build or BIM-heavy, you live inside Revit and ACC, and the AI tied to model coordination is what matters most.
Your cost sits in the documents — the takeoff, the spec, the sub quotes, the RFI backlog — rather than in model coordination, and you want no third-party AI vendor reading them.
ACC for the model, Marapone for the paper. You export sheets and logs from ACC and upload them: there is no live connection between the two.

| Connection to ACC | × None — export from ACC, upload the file | ✓ It is ACC |
| Deployment | Hosted by us; your own cloud tenant is enterprise work | SaaS |
| Setup | Sign in and upload — the same day | Switch on; weeks to adopt |

$4,990–$11,990/yr
Pro opens all eight programs for up to five seats at $4,990 billed yearly, or $499 a month. Firm takes it to twenty seats with priority processing at $11,990 yearly. Not everyone in a 30-person shop needs a seat; the estimators and PMs do.
No implementation fee, no per-module pricing, and on monthly billing no commitment at all. Priced at today’s published rates.
$58–$210/user/mo
Third-party listings put Autodesk Build between roughly $700/user/yr on the annual entry tier and about $2,520/user/yr for unlimited sheets. AI features are part of the platform, not a separately priced add-on.
30 users × 12 months = ~$20,900 to ~$75,600/yr, depending on tier.
* Illustrative. Get your real Autodesk quote and compare against our written scope.
Autodesk quotes against your own volume and module mix, so there is no single list price to cite. The band above is drawn from third-party pricing listings for Autodesk Build, not a quote, and not sourced to Autodesk themselves. We show a range rather than a midpoint because which end you land on depends on your sheet volume and billing term. It is here to make the shape of a per-seat cost visible next to a per-firm one, and your own quote is the only real number.

The sheets as PDF or DWG, the project manual as issued, the logs as Excel or CSV. Nothing to connect and no admin to ask.
Blueprint Auditor takes the drawing set, SpecChecker the manual, Bid Leveler the sub quotes. Our exports go back into your systems the same way, as files.
Run a set you have already bid. If the findings don’t hold up against your own answer, you have lost an afternoon, not a contract.
No. Procore, Autodesk, Sage and Bluebeam are file formats to us, not connections: you export from ACC and upload the file, and our exports go back the same way. There is no app to install in your tenant and no admin granting access to the project. The connections that do exist — Slack and Teams notifications today, document libraries next — are listed on the integrations page.
Yes. Blueprint Auditor reads DWG directly — every version AutoCAD has written since 2004 — along with DXF and vector or scanned PDF. A drawing saved as R13, R14 or 2000 is refused by name with the one instruction that fixes it: save it as a 2004-or-later DWG, or export DXF.
No, and most firms shouldn’t. ACC does model coordination, which Marapone does not do at all. Run them side by side: the model in ACC, the documents through the programs.
Field is free for fourteen days — Blueprint Auditor and the AI Estimator on your own drawings, a card at Stripe to start and nothing charged until day 15. Solo has a seven-day trial of the AI Estimator on its own. One trial runs per account; Crew, Pro and Firm have none. See the five plans.
Fourteen days on Field, on as many of your own jobs as you like. Upload the sheets you already have and read the findings the same afternoon.
