FeasiBuild vs the Market in 2026

Direct answer: The 2026 feasibility-software market splits along two axes: traditional versus AI-powered, and enterprise pricing versus professional pricing. ARGUS and EstateMaster anchor the traditional-enterprise corner ($500–$3,000/mo); AIRE Software prices like a consultant (~$7K per study); an AI wave (Feasibility.pro, Buildora IQ, Feasly, Archistar) occupies subscriptions from ~$49 to ~$99/mo. FeasiBuild sits in the AI column on a different economic model — $99 lifetime access plus per-report credits, no subscription — and its payment-structure engine covers any market on earth: native presets for Dubai Law No. 8, Malaysia HDA and Australia's 10/90, plus configurable rules (no escrow, custom progress splits like 20/80 or 30/70, staged escrow with custom retention) selected by pin-drop in any country.

1. The positioning map

Price band	Traditional	AI-powered
High	ARGUS · EstateMaster ($500–$3K/mo)	AIRE Software (~$7K/study)
Mid	—	Feasibility.pro ($99/mo) · Buildora IQ ($69/mo)
Low	Archistar Basic (~$63/mo)	Feasly ($49/mo)
Different model	—	FeasiBuild: $99 lifetime + per-report credits

Read the map this way: everything above charges you forever. FeasiBuild charges you once, then per use.

2. Head-to-head, named

FeasiBuild vs ARGUS / EstateMaster. The enterprise incumbents: deep configuration, decades of track record, quote-based licensing, real implementation projects and training curves. Payment-structure rules — escrow releases, progress percentages, retentions — are manual configuration, not engine logic; AI market research is not in the box. They win: large teams with IT and procurement. FeasiBuild wins: any professional who needs committee-grade output this week, approved on a credit card.

FeasiBuild vs AIRE Software. At roughly $7,000 per study, that's consultant economics with software branding. FeasiBuild's lifetime access costs about 1.4% of one such study — before credits. They win: mandated, fully managed engagements. FeasiBuild wins: everyone with a pipeline and a pulse.

FeasiBuild vs Feasibility.pro ($99/mo). The closest mirror price — monthly. Twelve months of their Pro equals twelve FeasiBuild lifetime accesses. Beyond pricing: check payment-structure configurability, export/ownership and where your data lives before choosing either. They win: teams preferring opex billing. FeasiBuild wins: ownership, lifetime economics, zero-knowledge design.

FeasiBuild vs Buildora IQ ($69/mo) & Feasly ($49/mo). Capable entry-level AI proforma tools for standard assets. The gaps that matter at committee level: a configurable payment-structure engine (escrow presets, custom splits, staged retentions), correlated downside shocks, and a bankable 30+ slide document rather than a dashboard. They win: light, frequent screening. FeasiBuild wins: anything that must survive a credit committee.

FeasiBuild vs Archistar (from ~$63/mo). Strong Australian generative site-planning and planning-feasibility angle. FeasiBuild goes deeper on the development-finance engine and works in any market via pin-drop — our own sample library spans a Malaysia warehouse, a UAE hotel and a China residential high-rise. They win: AU site-feasibility visuals. FeasiBuild wins: cross-border development finance.

3. What a year actually costs

Tool	2 studies/yr	6 studies/yr	24 studies/yr
ARGUS / EstateMaster	$6K–36K (licence anyway)	same	same + support
AIRE Software	~$14K	~$42K	not viable
Feasibility.pro	$1,188	$1,188	$1,188 (capacity limits apply)
Buildora IQ / Feasly	$828 / $588	same	same
FeasiBuild	$99 + 2 credits	$99 + 6 credits	Unlimited pack $2,400

Subscriptions price your quiet quarters too. Lifetime + per-report prices only your work.

4. The three moats, stated plainly

1. Payment-structure-native, everywhere. Pin-drop sets the country. Native presets handle Dubai Law No. 8, Malaysia HDA and Australia's 10/90 automatically; every other market gets the configurable engine — no escrow, custom progress splits, staged escrow with custom retention — with AI market research tuned to the pin-dropped location, falling back to the nearest city when hyper-local data is thin.
2. Zero-knowledge by design — your data encrypted in your own Puter cloud; you choose the AI engine.
3. Ownership economics — $99 lifetime, exportable models, white-label output.
