Pricing & cost

Pricing ModelAgave uses a quote-only, custom subscription pricing model rather than fixed public tiers. For contractors (Agave Sync), pricing is modular (Core, AP, AR, Workforce) and calculated based on four factors: systems synced (cloud vs. hosted vs. on-premise), number of financial/corporate entities (companies), selected modules, and level of customization. Pricing includes unlimited users, projects, and data volume. For software vendors (Agave API), pricing is based on connected systems with flat yearly pricing for cloud systems (including unlimited connected accounts/end-users) and per-account pricing for hosted/on-premise systems. ↗

Typical CostBase subscription costs are non-public and quote-only. Specific published add-on and overage rates include: $0.25/GB for file transfers exceeding the included 100GB/month limit; Webhook Support at $400/month; White-Label Agave Link Component at $100/month; and Branded Marketplace Apps at $200/month/app. Third-party review sites cite estimated starting figures ranging from $49/month to $500/month, though official base pricing requires a custom demo/quote. ↗

Api Or Integration FeesAgave Sync for contractors charges modular fees based on integration scope (Core Module is required for backbone objects like Projects, Cost Codes, and Vendors; additional modules include Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, and Workforce). For Agave API software vendors, optional add-on fees include Webhook Support ($400/month), White-Label Agave Link ($100/month), Branded Marketplace Apps ($200/month/app), and file transfer overages ($0.25/GB over 100GB/month). ↗

Implementation CostImplementation and onboarding fees are included in the standard subscription cost at no separate extra charge. Agave includes 1:1 hands-on implementation led by a dedicated integration expert, data mapping configuration, onboarding meetings, and ongoing post-implementation support (including a dedicated MS Teams channel and 24/7 urgent issue line). ↗

API & data access

Has ApiYes ↗

Api TypeREST ↗

Api Access GatingGated behind paid subscription plans; pricing is determined by connected systems, end-user accounts, and selected add-ons. ↗

Api LimitationsAgave imposes a rate limit of 150 requests per minute per Linked Account across all Source Systems, along with concurrency limits of up to 15 concurrent requests across all Linked Accounts and 10 concurrent requests per Linked Account for specific systems, in addition to underlying source system rate limits. Supports both read and write operations; unmapped source fields or custom objects require passthrough requests or raw queries. ↗

Data Export OptionsData extraction is handled programmatically via REST API calls, webhooks, Agave Sync (automated bidirectional synchronization), raw queries, and AI Analytics; no dedicated manual CSV or scheduled file export tools are documented for developers. ↗

Native AI features

Ai Features SummaryAgave provides native AI features specifically focused on construction financial operations and back-office automation. Shipped native features (introduced in late 2025 and expanded through 2026) include AP Invoice Automation, AI Expense Management, AI Analytics, and the Agave MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration. Agave does not offer native AI dispatching/scheduling or AI estimating tools; its native AI scope is strictly focused on back-office accounting, automated line-item cost-coding across ERPs and project management systems, and LLM context connectivity. ↗

Ai DispatchAgave has no native AI-powered dispatching, field service scheduling, or CSR/call handling features. Agave acts as a unified integration API to sync scheduling and field operations data between third-party software (such as ServiceTitan and Procore) and accounting systems, but it does not execute native AI dispatching or routing itself. ↗

Ai FinanceAgave provides native AI for financial automation (GA / shipped in late 2025). Native features include: 1) AP Invoice Automation (AI ingests multi-page supplier/subcontractor PDFs and emails, extracts line items, validates against POs/commitments, auto-codes to job numbers and cost codes, routes approvals, and syncs directly to ERPs); 2) Expense Management AI (captures field receipts and auto-codes line items to job, cost code, and GL accounts); and 3) Custom AI agent capabilities for building tailor-made accounting and financial workflows. Native Vendor Management AI (parsing W-9s, COIs, and lien waivers) is listed as 'Coming Soon'. ↗

Ai Assistant Or McpAgave offers native LLM connectivity via 'Agave MCP' (Model Context Protocol) and 'AI Analytics' (GA / shipped late 2025). Agave MCP links connected ERP and project management systems (such as Procore, Autodesk Build, Sage, and QuickBooks) to AI assistants like ChatGPT and Claude. This allows contractors to query live project finances, job costs, over/under-billing, and commit balances using plain-English prompts and generate interactive financial dashboards. ↗

Integrations & ecosystem

Accounting IntegrationsAgave connects to major construction accounting systems and ERPs, including QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, Sage 100 Contractor, Sage 300 CRE, Sage Intacct, Foundation, Acumatica, CMiC, Deltek ComputerEase, Viewpoint Spectrum, and Viewpoint Vista. ↗

MarketplaceAgave does not host a public, customer-facing app marketplace or partner directory on its primary website. Instead, it provides developer documentation and an API endpoint to dynamically retrieve supported source systems. Agave itself is listed as an integration application on third-party marketplaces, including the Autodesk Construction Cloud Marketplace and the Procore App Marketplace. ↗

Unified Api SupportAgave operates natively as a unified API platform designed specifically for the construction and field service vertical. It provides standardized data models and passthrough requests to sync data natively between field/project management systems (e.g., Procore, Autodesk Build) and accounting software. External unified API platforms (such as Merge.dev) do not maintain a connector for Agave; instead, Agave serves as the underlying unified API layer for construction software vendors. ↗

Accounting fit & implementation

Certified PayrollAgave does not support certified payroll or prevailing wage reporting natively. As a unified construction API and integration platform, Agave supports certified payroll workflows via partner integrations by syncing employee, timecard, and daily payroll data between field management tools (e.g., Procore, Autodesk Build) and connected construction ERPs or payroll providers (e.g., Foundation, Sage, UKG) where certified payroll compliance and WH-347 generation occur. ↗

Accounting MethodAgave supports accrual accounting workflows natively by synchronizing AP/AR invoices, subcontracts, purchase orders, commitments, change orders, and job cost codes between field systems and construction accounting ERPs. ↗

Wip Poc SupportSupported. Agave provides native visibility and reporting for live Work in Progress (WIP), over/under-billing, schedule of values (SOV), budget vs. actuals, and job cost reconciliation across connected ERPs and project management platforms. ↗

Implementation TimeOnboarding typically takes 4 to 8 weeks (1 to 2 months). ↗

Requires ImplementerDoes not require a third-party paid implementer or VAR. 1:1 hands-on onboarding and data mapping setup by a dedicated in-house Agave implementation specialist are included with every plan. ↗

Adoption & market position

Market PositionAgave is a modern unified API and AI financial operations platform for the construction and field services industries. It acts as an integration and automation infrastructure layer connecting legacy, hosted, and cloud-based ERP, project management, and accounting software (including Procore, Sage, Viewpoint, Autodesk Build, and Foundation) without requiring contractors to replace their existing systems. Founded in 2021 (Y Combinator W22), the company has raised over $20 million in funding, including a $15 million Series A led by Accel. ↗

Customer ScaleAgave serves over 500 general and specialty contractor customers (generating between $5 million and $5 billion+ in annual revenue) as well as over 70 software vendors. Its infrastructure is utilized across more than 80,000 construction projects representing over $100 billion in project volume in North America, touching over 12,000 contractors across major projects like the Tesla Gigafactory and Meta/AWS data centers. ↗

MomentumAgave is a rapidly growing modern platform gaining strong market traction rather than a legacy system. The company has been cash-flow positive and profitable for over two years while tripling recurring revenue year-over-year. Its July 2026 $15M Series A funding round is backing a 3x expansion of its team and the rollout of new AI-driven back-office and financial workflow tools. ↗
