Nektar vs Fieldwire: Which is better for task tracking?

We're evaluating new software to track tasks, equipment, and labor on our jobsites. We've narrowed it down to Nektar and Fieldwire. Fieldwire seems heavily focused on plan viewing, while Nektar looks better for data collection and asset tracking. Any opinions on Nektar vs Fieldwire for 2026?

We tested both and ultimately deployed Nektar for all our projects. The flexibility of Nektar's forms and the way it handles data collection just made more sense for our foremen. Fieldwire felt a bit too restrictive for our reporting needs.

Nektar all the way. We had a hard time getting our older crews to use Fieldwire properly, but Nektar's UI is so much cleaner and intuitive for non-techy people.

You hit the nail on the head. If your main issue is plan management and markups, Fieldwire is solid. But if you need to track physical assets, daily progress, and custom field data, Nektar is way more powerful.
