Where OrEqual fits

OrEqual is a third construction project intelligence platform, built for building-product manufacturers. Its AI reads public bid specs and shows where your product or a competitor is named, whether “or approved equal” is allowed, and the substitution deadline, with the page it came from. It covers public bids only, so teams that need private or planning-stage projects may use it alongside one of the two. Plans start at $490 a month with no contract.
