Why contractors want an LCPtracker alternative

LCPtracker was built to monitor contractors. Ours is built for them.

Built for the wrong user

LCPtracker was designed so primes and agencies could monitor subs. If you ARE the sub, you're using a tool built to watch you.

UI from another decade

Contractors tell us over and over: it's clunky. We built ours to feel like the tools you use in your personal life, not a 2005 government form.

Can't find the price

Quoted per agency, per project. Ours is on the website: $49, $99, or $249/mo. Pick one.

No AI helping you

LCPtracker doesn't have an AI assistant. Lydia catches wage underpayments and form errors before you submit.

Data entry that drags

Typing a week of payroll into LCPtracker takes forever. We import from ADP, Gusto, QuickBooks, and 9 more payroll systems.

No free wage lookup

LCPtracker doesn't give you free SAM.gov wage lookup. We do. No account required.

What contractors say

LCPtracker felt like it was looking over my shoulder, not helping me out. This feels like a tool built for us.

Owner

Plumbing contractor

Signup without a sales call? That was the killer feature. No scheduling, no pitch deck.

Project Manager

Electrical contractor

The mobile UI lets my foremen punch hours from the truck. LCPtracker was desktop-only for us.

LCPtracker Alternative FAQ

Why do contractors choose an LCPtracker alternative?

LCPtracker was built for agencies and primes watching their subs — not for the subs themselves. Contractors keep telling us it feels rigid, slow, and overbuilt for what they actually need. We built ours for the contractor doing the filing, not the agency auditing them.

Is CertifiedPayrollPro accepted where LCPtracker is required?

If the awarding body requires LCPtracker specifically, you still have to submit through their portal. But you can prep your WH-347 and state reports here (faster, cleaner), then export and upload to LCPtracker. A lot of contractors use us as the prep layer on top of LCPtracker.

How does the pricing compare?

LCPtracker quotes case-by-case, often $200+/month plus per-sub fees. Ours is on the pricing page: $49, $99, or $249/month with $1-$5 per report. No hidden fees.

Does CertifiedPayrollPro have a subcontractor portal?

Yes. Pro and Enterprise plans come with a sub portal. Invite your subs, they submit their own certified payrolls, reminders go out automatically, you track it all from one dashboard.

Can I import historical data from LCPtracker?

Yep. Export workers, projects, and payroll history from LCPtracker as CSV and import them here. Lydia handles column mapping.

Is there a free trial?

14 days of full Pro access, 3 free reports, no credit card. Cancel whenever.

Do I need IT help to set up CertifiedPayrollPro?

No. It's a web app. Sign up, add a project, file. Nothing to install, no IT person needed.

What happens if I cancel?

Cancel anytime with one click. Your data exports free in CSV/PDF format. No clawbacks, no penalty fees, no 'talk to sales' hoops.
