A fast and intuitive BQE Core alternative with no learning curve

Great question! We obviously think we’re pretty great, but here’s an honest answer:

Both platforms allow you to manage and audit timesheets. Both give you the ability to create and manage invoicing, project fees, and staff workloads.

But while BQE Core is catered towards generic professional service firms. Monograph is a practice operations platform built specifically for design professionals that replaces many tools for your business, including your project planner, timesheets, real-time budgets, forecasting, staffing and much more.

The best platform choice comes down to what’s most important for you.

If you’re looking for an all-in-one platform that makes it simple to run your architecture firm online, has world-class customer service, and is affordable whether you’re just starting out or growing fast, then we built Monograph just for you.

If you prefer to keep your teams in silos, have the time to deal with complicated setup, and don't mind a steep learning curve (or paying for extra training fees), we encourage you to give both platforms a try and decide for yourself!

Another thing to consider is how much you would like to spend on onboarding and training your team. We value simplicity and transparency. Both Monograph's simple plan and BQE Core’s plan give you a project management solution for $45/mo per person and "pay as you need" pricing, respectively. However, with BQE Core’s additional onboarding and training fees, their plan might end up being more expensive.

Meanwhile, Monograph's one and only plan, which includes all of our platform features, costs only $45/mo per person with free training and onboarding.

After all, your success is our success and we're ultimately here to help you build a better practice.
