Pricing & cost

Pricing ModelQuote-only / custom modular pricing. Miter charges on a monthly per-active-user basis depending on company headcount and the specific product modules selected (Human Capital Management, Field Operations, Expense Management). There are no hidden fees for tax filing, W-2 generation, or direct deposits.

Typical CostPublished third-party listings indicate pricing ranges from $15 to $50 per user per month based on company size and modules used. In a published case study, a contractor with 70 to 100 employees paid approximately $2,200 per month.

Api Or Integration FeesMiter includes native API-based integrations with construction ERPs and job management tools (e.g., Sage Intacct, Procore, ServiceTitan, QuickBooks, Acumatica) as well as REST API access for custom connections; no separate line-item API or integration fees are publicly listed.

Implementation CostImplementation is quote-based and bundled with onboarding. Miter advertises white-glove setup and training support, though exact onboarding fees are custom and not publicly published (third-party industry reports cite implementation costs ranging from $3,000 to $8,000).

API & data access

Has ApiYes

Api TypeREST

Data Export OptionsMiter supports several data export options, including standard CSV exports for systems without a direct API integration and bulk data migration, report exports in CSV and Excel formats (such as EEO-1 labor compliance reports), filing-ready PDF reports, and compliance export files (including federal WH-347 and DIR XML formats) compatible with third-party portals like LCPTracker, eMars, eComply, and Elation Systems.

Native AI features

Ai Features SummaryAs of 2025–2026, Miter offers minimal native AI capabilities. Its primary native AI feature is AI-assisted writing for performance reviews and feedback template generation within 'Miter Performance' (launched in June 2026). Outside of performance evaluations, Miter relies on standard rule-based software automation (such as automated tax calculations, prevailing wage calculations, certified payroll reporting, and ERP timecard syncs) rather than generative or predictive AI.

Ai DispatchMiter does not offer AI-powered dispatching or AI scheduling. It provides standard field operations scheduling and time tracking tools.

Ai FinanceMiter does not offer AI invoicing, AI estimating, or AI-driven AP/AR automation. Its financial and payroll features focus on automated payroll processing, certified payroll reporting, corporate cards, expense reimbursements, and job cost syncs with third-party accounting ERPs.

Ai Assistant Or McpMiter does not offer an AI platform copilot, AI call handling/CSR agent, or Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Its AI involvement is limited to built-in review feedback assistance within its performance management software.

Integrations & ecosystem

Accounting IntegrationsMiter connects natively via direct API to accounting and construction ERP systems including QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, Sage Intacct, Sage 100 Contractor, Sage 300 CRE, Oracle NetSuite, Acumatica, Xero, and Jonas Premier. It also integrates with field and project management platforms including Procore, ServiceTitan, BuildOps, and HCSS. The integration between accounting and field workflows is native—built directly into Miter via API connections alongside an open REST API for custom connections.

MarketplaceMiter maintains an official public 'Integrations' directory page on its website listing supported third-party tools across ERP, field operations, and HR. However, it does not operate an open, self-service third-party developer app marketplace or store.

Unified Api SupportYes. Miter is supported on unified HR/payroll API platforms like Finch, and can be integrated into construction ecosystem data flows using unified APIs such as Agave.

Accounting fit & implementation

Certified PayrollSupported natively. Miter provides built-in prevailing wage and Davis-Bacon compliance, union rate and fringe benefit handling, and one-click generation of federal WH-347 and state-specific certified payroll reports.

Accounting MethodMiter is not a standalone general ledger accounting software (and thus is neither inherently cash nor accrual basis itself); it is a construction workforce management, payroll, and job-costing platform that syncs fully burdened labor costs into third-party construction accounting/ERP systems (such as Sage, Acumatica, and QuickBooks).

Wip Poc SupportMiter does not generate general ledger WIP (Work in Progress) or percentage-of-completion revenue recognition reports natively. It supports WIP workflows by capturing real-time labor, benefit, and burden costs by job and cost code, then feeding this data into external ERPs where WIP schedules and percentage-of-completion accounting are maintained.

Implementation TimeNot published as a single standard timeframe by Miter. Implementation duration varies based on company size, headcount, and ERP integrations, though industry software comparisons estimate rollout typically takes several weeks.

Requires ImplementerNo third-party VAR or external paid implementer is required. Miter provides in-house implementation support, pairing contractors with dedicated internal implementation managers and launch specialists to manage system configuration, data migration, and training.

Adoption & market position

Market PositionMiter is a modern, cloud-based workforce management, payroll, and Human Capital Management (HCM) platform built specifically for U.S. trade and construction contractors. Founded in 2021, it specializes in handling complex construction compliance needs—such as prevailing wage rates, certified payroll reporting (WH-347), job costing, and multi-union rules—to integrate field operations, HR, and payroll into a single system. The company has raised $38 million in total venture funding, including a $23 million Series B round co-led by Bessemer Venture Partners and Coatue Management.

Customer ScaleMiter serves over 1,500 contractors (up from 700 reported in mid-2025) and processes more than $1 billion in annual payroll wages.

MomentumMiter is positioned as a fast-growing, modern vertical SaaS platform that contractors adopt to migrate away from legacy software and fragmented spreadsheet workflows. It demonstrates strong upward momentum, backed by top-tier venture investors and recognized on Construction Executive's 2026 Top Construction Technology Products list across Financial Technology and Workforce Management categories.

Facts are grounded in public sources (linked above), combined with our hands-on implementation experience with this system. The AI-readiness tier is a transparent heuristic from API openness, data extractability, native AI, and momentum, not a vendor ranking. This is our assessment as of 2026, not advice; software features and pricing change, and vendors are welcome to correct anything here — verify current specifics with the vendor before deciding.
