Factor AE is built differently because A&E firms work differently.

The Factor difference is about giving A&E firms software that is affordable, feels effortless, and is built for the way they actually work.

Capterra

4.8/5

Factor is the most affordable PM software in the industry.

We believe every A&E firm should have access to tools that make work easier, not more expensive. Factor AE keeps pricing simple at $30 per user a month. That’s it.

Built for A&E firms, not everyone else.

Unlike generic project management tools and clunky ERPs, Factor is built for A&E workflows, simple to use, and made to fit your firm.
