Prevailing Wage Software Compared for Small Contractors

How We Compared Prevailing Wage Software

Prevailing wage compliance tools split into three tiers: heavy ERPs that fold prevailing wage into a full construction accounting system (Penta, Elation Systems), specialist compliance platforms built specifically for Davis-Bacon and state prevailing-wage reporting (LCPtracker, B2Gnow), and lighter, self-service tools that just help produce a single accurate report (LeaveSheet). Figuring out which tier you actually need is the first filter, before pricing.

Pricing transparency splits the same way. LCPtracker is the only vendor here with a published rate we could verify, starting at $145/month for up to 5 active projects and scaling to $7,400/year for unlimited projects (see our full LCPtracker comparison). Knowify, B2Gnow, Penta, Elation Systems, and Points North all keep pricing behind a quote request on the pages we checked.

Company size and project volume matter more here than in general construction payroll: an agency or GC overseeing prevailing-wage compliance across many subcontractors on many projects needs a platform built for that oversight, while a single subcontractor working one or two prevailing-wage jobs a year mainly needs one accurate weekly report.

The Options, Compared Honestly

Knowify positions itself specifically for subcontractors, pairing prevailing wage tracking with its broader job-costing and project management platform — a fit if you want prevailing wage handled inside a tool you'd also use for bidding and job costing, rather than a standalone add-on.

LCPtracker and B2Gnow eComply are the specialist compliance platforms most often named for public-works prevailing wage work, built for agencies and prime contractors managing compliance across many subs. LCPtracker's pricing scales with active project count ($145/month for 5 projects up to $7,400/year unlimited, verified July 16, 2026); B2Gnow doesn't publish pricing on the page we checked.

Penta and Elation Systems are construction ERPs with prevailing-wage payroll as one module inside a much larger accounting and operations system, aimed at firms already running (or ready to run) their whole back office on one platform. Neither publishes pricing.

Points North and eMars appear for the closely related term "certified payroll reporting software" — both connect to existing payroll systems (Points North names ADP Workforce Now, UKG, and QuickBooks) and generate compliance reports from that data, quote-based, with no public pricing on the pages we checked.

LeaveSheet is the one flat-priced, self-service option in this list: $19/month or $190/year per organization, with worker classifications, up to four fringe plans, weekly straight-time and overtime entry, and a WH-347-style PDF export with the 6B fringe math reconciled automatically. It doesn't integrate with any payroll system or ERP — you enter hours and rates directly.

What LeaveSheet doesn't do

LeaveSheet does not import wage determinations, support multi-state certified payroll formats, or offer a multi-contractor oversight portal — features that LCPtracker, B2Gnow, Points North, and the ERP platforms are specifically built around for agencies and GCs managing compliance across many subs and projects.

It also doesn't process payroll, file payroll taxes, handle direct deposit, or file electronically to state DIR or eCPR portals. It produces a single organization's WH-347-style report and Statement of Compliance from hours and rates entered manually — nothing more.

ERP, Niche Compliance Platform, or a Flat-Priced Add-On?

Choose an ERP (Penta, Elation Systems) if prevailing wage payroll is one piece of a much bigger construction accounting and operations need, and you're prepared to run your whole back office on that platform.

Choose a niche compliance platform (LCPtracker, B2Gnow, Points North) if you're overseeing prevailing-wage compliance across multiple subcontractors or multiple states and need submission portals, multi-state formats, or payroll-system integrations.

Choose LeaveSheet's flat $19/month add-on if you're a small subcontractor who just needs an accurate WH-347-style report and 6B fringe reconciliation, without adopting a compliance platform built for agencies and GCs.

Our Pick by Use Case

Agency or GC overseeing many subs across many projects: LCPtracker or B2Gnow for the compliance portal and state-form support.

Firm running prevailing-wage payroll as part of a full construction ERP: Penta or Elation Systems.

Company already on ADP Workforce Now, UKG, or QuickBooks wanting reports pulled from that data: Points North.

Small subcontractor with one or two prevailing-wage jobs a year who just needs the WH-347-style report done right: LeaveSheet's $19/month add-on, or the free Excel WH-347 template if software isn't worth it yet.
