Autodesk Build daily logs vs SuperReports at a glance
Both produce a record of the day. The difference is what you buy to get it: Autodesk's daily log comes with the platform around it, SuperReports is the report by itself.
| SuperReports | Autodesk Build daily logs | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Supers who owe a daily report — solo or org-wide | Teams already running the full Autodesk Construction Cloud stack |
| Core focus | Fast daily reports + 3-week look-ahead planning | Broad construction platform; the daily log is one module inside it |
| Report workflow | Take photos + talk; AI writes the report | Daily logs entered in the platform alongside the rest of the project record |
| Voice-to-report AI | Yes — speak your day, AI structures the full report | Logs are entered rather than spoken |
| 3-week look-ahead | Yes | Not part of the daily log |
| Pricing transparency | Published openly on the pricing page | Quote-based — no per-user rates published |
| Free plan | Yes — Starter files a full report, no card | Trial and subscription; no free tier for the daily log |
| Safety in the report | Yes — observations, incidents, toolbox talks and inspections are a section of every report | Handled in the platform's own quality and safety tooling |
| Org-wide report roll-up | Yes — team dashboard on every plan | Yes — within the platform |
| Pricing | Free Starter; $29 / super / mo; Team flat $279 / mo at 10+ supers (UK: £25 / super / mo, Team £229 / mo; eurozone: €25 / super / mo, Team €249 / mo) | Quote-based; contact sales |

Why supers look for an Autodesk Build daily log alternative
Rarely because the log is bad. Usually because of what surrounds it:
1. You can't find out what it costs. Autodesk Build is quote-based — there are no per-user rates published, so working out whether the daily log is worth it means a sales conversation first. SuperReports lists every price on its pricing page: free to start, $29 per super per month, flat $279/mo Team at 10 or more supers.
2. The log arrives attached to a platform. Model coordination, RFIs, submittals, cost and closeout are the reason most firms buy Autodesk Build. If the daily report is genuinely the job to be done, that's a large surface to carry for one module.
3. Entering a log is still typing. SuperReports is photos plus voice — you talk through the day and the report writes itself in about two minutes, with no training and no forms at the end of a long shift.
When Autodesk Build is the better choice
If your project already runs on Autodesk Construction Cloud, the daily log belongs where the rest of the record lives. Logs sitting next to the drawings, RFIs and submittals they refer to is a real advantage, and SuperReports doesn't try to replace any of that.
When SuperReports is the better choice
If the daily report is the job to be done — done fast, at a price you can read before you talk to anyone — SuperReports is the better fit. A super starts free and files a professional report in about two minutes, with a 3-week look-ahead for the weeks ahead. When a GC wants every super's report to roll up org-wide, the team dashboard is there on every plan; you're buying seats to fill it, not a platform to host it.
Using both
They coexist without friction. A super can file the day's record in SuperReports while the project keeps running on Autodesk — the report doesn't have to live where the drawings do. There's nothing to migrate: create an account and file the first report the same day.
Frequently asked questions
How much do Autodesk Build daily logs cost?
Autodesk doesn't publish per-user pricing for Autodesk Build — the pricing page routes to sales for a quote, so the daily log's cost depends on the bundle you're quoted. SuperReports publishes its pricing: a free Starter plan, $29 per super per month, and a flat $279/mo Team plan at 10 or more supers. UK customers are billed in pounds (£25 per super per month, £229/mo for Team) and eurozone customers in euros (€25 per super per month, €249/mo for Team), excluding VAT.
Is there a cheaper alternative to Autodesk Build for daily reports?
For the daily report specifically, yes — SuperReports starts free and is $29 per super per month. Whether it's cheaper than your Autodesk quote depends on that quote, but you can see the SuperReports number without asking anyone.
Does SuperReports do everything Autodesk Build does?
No, and deliberately. Autodesk Build is a broad construction platform — model coordination, RFIs, submittals, cost, closeout. SuperReports does the daily report and 3-week look-ahead planning. If you need the platform, Autodesk is the better fit.
Can I use SuperReports alongside Autodesk Build?
Yes. The daily report doesn't have to live where the drawings do. There's nothing to migrate — create an account and file the first report the same day.
