BCS (getbcs.com) is a solid choice if you have 200+ vendors, want humans chasing your subs for documents, and have budget for a $10,000/year managed-service contract. They serve construction, real estate, and property management and integrate with Procore, Yardi, and MRI. If you're a GC running 10 to 200 subs who wants to handle compliance yourself with predictable monthly pricing, PaperBoss is the better fit. Both products do the core COI workflow well; the choice comes down to pricing model and how much hand-holding you want.
Flat monthly pricing, no vendor minimum
PaperBoss is $29-149/mo regardless of how many subs you track. BCS is $0.95-$17.80 per vendor per year, with a $10,000 annual minimum on the full-service tier.
W-9 and Workers Comp exemption tracking included
PaperBoss handles all three core GC documents (COI, W-9, WC exemption) with a single workflow. BCS is COI-first; W-9 and WC are not headline features.
Self-serve in 10 minutes
Sign up, add subs, send links. No sales call, no implementation contract. BCS Free and Self-Service tiers are self-serve, but Full-Service requires onboarding.
No-account sub upload portal
Subs receive a secure link and upload directly. No login, no app to install. BCS also has no-login uploads via their pre-verified vendor network of 78,000+ vendors.

Frequently asked questions
How much does BCS cost?
BCS has three tiers: Free for up to 25 vendors, Self-Service at $0.95 per vendor per month ($11.40 per vendor per year), and Full-Service from $17.80 per vendor per year with a $10,000 annual minimum. PaperBoss is a flat $29 to $149 per month regardless of vendor count.
Should I choose BCS or PaperBoss?
Choose BCS if you have 200+ vendors and want a managed-service team chasing subs for documents, with budget for $10K+ per year. Choose PaperBoss if you are a GC tracking 10 to 200 subs, want flat predictable pricing, and need W-9 plus WC exemption tracking bundled in one tool.
Can I switch from BCS to PaperBoss?
Yes. Export your vendor list and COIs from BCS (the Self-Service tier is month-to-month with no contract to break) and bulk-upload to PaperBoss. Email support@paperboss.io and we will help with the migration.
Does PaperBoss integrate with Procore like BCS does?
Not yet — PaperBoss currently supports CSV import/export and runs alongside Procore. A native Procore integration is on the roadmap. Most PaperBoss customers do not use enterprise project-management platforms, so the standalone workflow fits.
