Trimble ProjectSight is construction project-management software built around a live project record. Drawings sit alongside RFIs, submittals, specifications, punchlists, photos and daily reports, and an annotation on a sheet can link to the record it belongs to. Publishing a new drawing revision carries annotations and links from the previous current version onto it automatically, and earlier revisions stay in the series rather than being replaced.
Xenmark runs one job end to end: a drawing set goes out for review, comments come back against the revision they were raised on, and the review finishes as two documents — a plan showing where each comment sits, and a spreadsheet saying what each one means, numbered to match.
ProjectSight is a full construction project-management system with drawings built in, not a standalone review tool, and on its North American Free plan it is more generous with people than we are — unlimited users against Xenmark’s five on Free. Choose Xenmark when the job is only the drawing review, run at one published price in euro including VAT — including outside North America, where ProjectSight’s own Free and Go plans are not sold. What comes back is a numbered plan and a matching Excel register, produced by Xenmark as one act.
ProjectSight carries RFIs, submittals, specifications, punchlists, photos and daily reports alongside the drawings, with annotations linked to the records they belong to. Xenmark does one job with a PDF drawing set: comments go out, come back, and the review closes as a numbered plan and a matching register.
ProjectSight’s Free and Go plans are sold in North America only — the features list states this twice. In Europe, ProjectSight is sales-led with no published price, no free trial and unlimited free collaborators. Trimble states that the separate, non-localized Free product hosts its data in North America. Xenmark publishes one price list, in euro including VAT, and does not gate its plans by region.
A Xenmark comment carries one number into both files it produces: the plan and the Excel register, generated together. ProjectSight exports an annotated drawing, an Excel view of drawing data and project records, and — on Go and Enterprise — an As Built package pairing drawings with the records linked to them.
Every Trimble ProjectSight claim below is taken from Trimble ProjectSight's own published material and was last checked on 28 August 2026. Software changes; if something here is out of date, tell us and we will correct it.
ProjectSight’s North American Free plan is more generous with people than ours. It costs nothing per user, states unlimited users, and caps only projects and storage — three projects and 2 GB — while still carrying RFIs, submittals, specifications, drawings, punchlists and photos. Xenmark’s Free plan allows five project members.
A new revision does not lose the record. Publishing a revision copies annotations and links from the previous current version onto it, and earlier revisions stay in the drawing series rather than being replaced. The one gap Trimble documents against itself: an annotation added to an older revision after a newer one has already published is not copied to that later version.
It is also a far broader product. RFIs, submittals, specifications, punchlists, photos, daily reports, linked models and files, and iOS and Android apps for work on site sit alongside the drawings — none of it is inside Xenmark. Unlicensed free collaborators can create issues on a paid project, distance, perimeter and area are measured against a scale you calibrate, two drawings or two revisions compare with a coloured overlay, and offline creation syncs back once a connection and a Trimble ID session return.
One difference runs the other way. ProjectSight’s Free and Go plans are sold in North America only; in Europe it is sales-led with no published price and no free trial.
| Xenmark | Trimble ProjectSight | |
|---|---|---|
| Starting a review | ||
| Can the person running the review start free? | Yes — the Free plan runs one active review at a time, start to finish | Yes, in North America. The Free plan is $0 per user per month billed annually, with unlimited users, capped at three projects and 2 GB of project data. ProjectSight states plainly that Free and Go are sold in North America only. |
| Do external reviewers need a paid subscription? | No — the people you invite read, reply and download the exports without paying | Not on Free, which states unlimited users. ProjectSight also documents unlicensed free collaborators, who can create issues on a paid project without a licence. Broader record creation and management needs a licence, and the exact actions available depend on subscription, role and permissions. |
| Available platforms | Any modern browser — nothing to install, and the people you invite join from a link | Browser, plus iOS and Android apps built for work on site — changes are made offline, saved locally, and synchronise once a connection and an active Trimble ID session return. |
| How the review is structured | ||
| What the review is built from | A numbered comment. Anything drawn on the page belongs to that comment rather than standing on its own. | A published drawing revision inside a construction project-management system, with annotations on it and project records — RFIs, submittals, punchlist items — linked alongside. |
| Replies | Threaded under the comment, each attributed and dated, with image attachments, and carried into the register | Yes, on the annotation itself. The Comments panel takes notes and replies against an annotation, filterable by position, date, status, author, type or colour. Project records carry their own correspondence alongside. |
| Status workflow | Open, In progress and Closed — three fixed states, and the status travels into the Excel register | Yes, at two levels. A drawing set is reviewed, approved and published, and each note carries its own status. Most annotations start private to their author; a user with permission can make one public, and linking it to an accessible record or specification can also make it public. Photo annotations are always public. |
| Comment numbering | Numbers are stable — delete comment 5 and the gap stays, so item 12 still means item 12 in every email and every export | Drawings and revisions carry identifiers, and an annotation can be linked to a numbered project record such as an RFI. |
| One issue, several drawing locations | One comment can own several markers while keeping one number and one reply thread | Yes. One numbered ProjectSight record can be linked to several annotations across the drawings. |
| Activity history | Every action timestamped and attributed to the person who made it | ProjectSight keeps two histories: a record history covering creation, field changes, assignments, courtesy copies, comments, links and emailed-report recipients, and a drawing-set history recording creation and changes with the person and time. |
| Revision handling | Comments stay tied to the revision they were raised against, in one workflow | Annotations and links carry forward automatically. Publishing a new revision copies them from the previous current version onto it, and earlier revisions stay in the series with Not Current status rather than being replaced. The one exception ProjectSight documents against itself: an annotation added to an older revision after a newer one has already published is not copied to that later version. |
| Measuring and markup | ||
| Measuring on the drawing | Length, polylength, perimeter and area, calibrated to the page scale | Distance, perimeter and area — approximate, with calibration, per-annotation scale and precision controls. |
| Setting the drawing scale | Pick a standard scale, type your own, name the sheet size, or calibrate from a distance you already know | Calibrate the drawing. The measurement tools direct you to calibrate where no scale is set yet. |
| Building your own reusable symbols | Check, cross, attention, arrow and cloud — five fixed review symbols, not a custom library | Not in the Drawings module, but yes elsewhere. The Drawings annotation toolbar documents pencil, line, arrow and cloud-style markup tools, not a reusable symbol library. Separately, ProjectSight’s Project Documents PDF viewer supports standard and custom stamps: a stamp you create becomes available across every project you can access in that portfolio, though only its creator sees it. |
| Measuring quantities for pricing a job | Not included — measurements are there to explain a comment, not to cost work | Measurements are per-annotation — distance, perimeter and area with calibration — rather than aggregated into a takeoff table or a bill of quantities. |
| What comes out of the review | ||
| What you send back | The two documents come out ready to send — there is nothing to set up first, because the review was structured that way from the start | A drawing downloaded with its annotations, a drawing-details Excel export, and — on Go and Enterprise — a project export delivered as an emailed download link. Its As Built option bundles linked records, drawings, models, files and photos, with each record type exported using its own PDF report template. Free does not include project export. |
| Comment plan PDF | The drawing with each comment numbered and shown where it applies | Yes — a drawing downloads with its annotations on it. |
| Spreadsheet output | An Excel file listing every comment, numbered to match the PDF | Yes. ProjectSight exports drawing metadata and project records to Excel. |
| Measurements in the export | Drawn on the comment plan PDF where they were placed, and listed on their own sheet in the Excel file, kept separate from the comments | The drawing-details Excel export and the project export both carry drawing and record data. |
| What you keep when the project ends | A single zip file — every revision's exports, the attachments and the full activity log, downloaded and stored on your side | On Go and Enterprise, a project export delivered as an emailed download link, with current or all drawing and specification versions and an As Built option bundling linked records, drawings, models, files and photos. Free does not include project export; its storage cap is 2 GB. |
| Branded reports | Your company logo and text on both deliverables, inherited from Company Settings — Plus and Pro | Yes. A portfolio or project report logo, system and custom report templates, and custom Crystal Reports .rpt files. Availability depends on plan and report permissions. |
| What else each one does | ||
| Batch operations across many PDFs | Not included — a review works on one drawing set at a time | Yes. One or more PDFs or a ZIP can be uploaded at once; multipage PDFs split into individual drawings, PDFs extract from a ZIP, and title-block information is processed. Multiple drawings can also be combined into one PDF, exported as separate PDFs, or bundled into an As Built ZIP — project export is recommended for larger volumes. |
| Comparing two drawings against each other | Not included — differences get raised as comments by the people reviewing | Yes. Two revisions or two separate drawings compare in an aligned overlay, with base and comparison linework coloured separately and overlap highlighted; the comparison view can be printed. |
| Working offline | Browser only, so you need a connection | Yes. ProjectSight Mobile supports offline creation — changes save locally and synchronise once a connection and an active Trimble ID session return. Projects can be downloaded for offline access, and mobile drawing measurement and annotation tools are documented. |
| Storing documents long term | Not what it is for. You download the exports and keep them wherever your project records already live. | Yes. Drawings, revisions and project records are held together in one system, within the plan’s storage cap — 2 GB on Free, 15 GB on Go, unlimited on Enterprise. |
| CAD integrations and creating PDFs from CAD | None — a review starts from a PDF that has already been produced | Trimble names ProjectSight integrations with Trimble Connect and Tekla, not with AutoCAD or Revit as CAD-authoring tools; the drawing workflow itself takes published PDF drawings rather than generating them from a CAD model. |
| Connecting to a document management system | No integrations yet — the closing archive is a single zip you file wherever your records already live | ProjectSight is the file system, or connects to one depending on region. File Library is the file management system in applicable North American subscriptions; outside North America, Trimble Connect is the default. ProjectSight also documents Vista and Spectrum integrations, syncing financial and project data with each. |
Both start at nothing; Trimble ProjectSight counts people far more generously. Its Free plan is $0 per user per month billed annually with unlimited users, capped instead at three projects and 2 GB. Go is $29 per user per month billed annually with unlimited projects and 15 GB, and Enterprise is quoted. Free and Go are sold in North America only; in Europe, ProjectSight is sales-led with no published price, unlimited free collaborators and no free trial. Xenmark is €14.99 – €59.99 / month, with a Free plan that runs a complete review.
The billing units also differ. ProjectSight counts people; Xenmark counts project capacity. A North American team with many people and few projects is cheap on ProjectSight’s Free plan; a team running several drawing sets with a small group is cheap on Xenmark.
| Xenmark | Trimble ProjectSight | |
|---|---|---|
| Billing unit | Per project capacity, monthly | Per user, billed annually — not by project. Sold in North America only |
| Entry point | Free — one active review, start to finish, no card | $0 — Free plan, unlimited users, three projects and 2 GB, North America only |
| To run a review yourself | Free | $0, within three projects and 2 GB |
| Paid range | €14.99 – €59.99 / month | $29 per user per month on Go, billed annually; Enterprise quoted |
| Invited reviewers | Free — no per-user charge; 5–30 project members depending on plan, and the person running the review is one of them | Free on the Free plan, which states unlimited users. Go is priced per licensed user, and unlicensed free collaborators can create issues on a paid project. In Europe, collaboration is free for unlimited users |
| Tax basis | Including VAT | USD · North America only · tax basis not stated |
Xenmark — current as of 28 August 2026. Trimble ProjectSight — checked 28 August 2026. The figures above are the North American ones: Free and Go are sold online only in the United States and Canada, and buyers elsewhere are directed to sales; the European product page publishes no price. The page states no tax basis; Xenmark prices include VAT. Nothing here is converted or adjusted — a currency rate and a tax rate both depend on the buyer, and a per-user plan cannot be set against a per-project one without first knowing how many people need access.
Yes, and only in North America. The features list states that Free and Go are sold in North America only. Free is $0 per user per month billed annually with unlimited users, capped instead at three projects and 2 GB of project data. In Europe, ProjectSight is sales-led with no published price and no free trial.
The Xenmark Free plan is shaped differently: one active review at a time, taken from start to finish, with up to five project members, and not gated by region. Where ProjectSight Free is available it is more generous on people; where it is not, Xenmark’s Free plan is still the published entry point.
Not entirely. ProjectSight documents unlicensed free collaborators, who can create issues on a paid project. Broader record creation and management needs a licence, and the exact actions available depend on subscription, role and permissions.
In Xenmark invited people are free within the plan’s member limit, and the Project Manager decides whether each one is a Participant, who replies and downloads exports, or an Editor, who creates comments and pins. That choice is available on every plan, including Free.
Yes, and this is where the two products differ in how the review is organised rather than in what survives. Publishing a new revision copies annotations and links from the previous current version onto it automatically, and earlier revisions stay in the drawing series with Not Current status. The one gap ProjectSight documents against itself: an annotation added to an older revision after a newer one has already published is not copied to that later version.
In Xenmark a comment stays attached to the revision it was raised against, and every revision stays inside the same review as its own organising unit, rather than one current version carrying the others forward.
Yes, and much as Xenmark does. Distance, perimeter and area, with calibration, per-annotation scale and precision controls.
Xenmark measures length, polylength, perimeter and area against the page scale and puts those values on their own sheet inside the same Excel file as the comments.
Yes. ProjectSight exports drawing metadata and project records to Excel, and on Go and Enterprise a project export bundles drawings, records, models, files and photos.
In Xenmark the comment is the record from the moment it is raised, and the same number appears on the plan and in the register, produced together.
It depends on how many people need access. ProjectSight Free costs nothing per user and states unlimited users; Xenmark Free allows five project members. Above that, ProjectSight Go is $29 per user per month billed annually while Xenmark is €14.99 – €59.99 / month for the project rather than for each person, so the answer moves with team size.
Outside North America the comparison changes shape: ProjectSight has no published Free or Go plan there at all, and Europe is sales-led with no published price. The two are also priced on different bases — ProjectSight’s figures state no tax treatment; Xenmark publishes in euro including VAT. Nothing here is converted.
No. ProjectSight is construction project-management software — RFIs, submittals, specifications, punchlists, photos, daily reports, linked models and files, and field apps. None of that is inside Xenmark, and a team that needs a project system needs a project system.
Xenmark covers the part where a drawing set goes out to several people for comment and something structured has to come back.
When the drawing review is one task inside a construction project that also needs RFIs, submittals, punchlists and field records in the same place. When the buyer is in North America and a lot of people need access, since the Free plan’s unlimited users matter more than its three-project cap there. When the work happens on site and offline iOS or Android use is the point. And when the organisation is already inside Trimble’s ecosystem and wants the drawings to sit with the models, files and ERP records.
We sell Xenmark, so this is not an independent review. We have tried to describe Trimble ProjectSight accurately, and every Trimble ProjectSight claim on this page rests on Trimble’s own published help articles, feature list and pricing pages, named below. Capabilities and pricing change. Trimble ProjectSight feature information was last checked on 28 August 2026, and the pricing on 28 August 2026.
Trimble’s help articles are linked, so every claim here can be checked against the source it rests on. Both product and pricing pages are named rather than linked. Several rows on this page run in ProjectSight’s favour and are quoted as found: unlicensed free collaborators can create issues, measurement is calibrated much as ours is, two drawings compare with an aligned overlay, batch upload splits and extracts PDFs from a ZIP, offline creation syncs once a connection returns, and reports carry a logo and custom templates.
The Free plan takes a real drawing set end to end. No card, no time limit.
