Recommendations for a SmartBid replacement

Apologies for the non-takeoff question.

We've been using SmartBid for years. Like PlanSwift, it feels like they're not making meaningful upgrades or even patching important issues.

Since this community includes a lot of GCs and even more subs, does anyone have a recommendation for a bid management platform to switch to?

A trade partner recommended zzTakeoff to us a while back, and I haven't regretted it, so I'm hoping for another good suggestion here.

I have been using Procore this year. Its ok, but not great. Just switched to the industry standard, Building Connected. Great so far.

We have Building Connected as well, our company really likes it. Most of the GC's in our area utilize it, but even with those that don't we can still forward any invite via email in the system to consolidate all in one place.

We're considering BuildingConnected as well. Our one concern is Autodesk's habit of splitting a single product into multiple pieces. To access basic subcontractor information like licenses and DIR numbers, we'd need TradeTapp, which means buying the entire Precon bundle but then not use any takeoff or estimaitng tools.

That same approach is why we moved from BIM 360 (or whatever they're calling it these days) to Revizto.

Wunderbuild & Buildertrend = Not good.
