MasterBuilder isn't a separate, currently-sold product — it's the earlier name for what Sage now markets as Sage 100 Contractor. The rebrand happened years ago as part of Sage's broader product-line consolidation, not a ground-up rebuild. If a builder is still running software they call "Master Builder," they're almost certainly on an older version of the same underlying product line.
That's worth knowing before you go looking for it under the old name — you won't find a current product called MasterBuilder to buy or evaluate. What you'll find is Sage 100 Contractor.
Sage doesn't publish pricing for Sage 100 Contractor — it's quote-based, and you'll need to talk to sales to get an actual number. Multiple independent 2026 pricing analyses commonly cite a range of roughly $115 to $300 per user, per month, depending on modules selected, user count, and deployment (on-premise vs. cloud-hosted). Treat that as a third-party estimate, not an official figure — there's no substitute for getting a quote for your specific setup.
Sage 100 Contractor is generally positioned toward mid-size and larger contractors — commercial work, multi-trade operations, and businesses with dedicated office and accounting staff to run it. That's not a knock on the product; it's simply a different weight class than what most small residential builders and remodelers need day to day.
If you're running a handful of jobs a year and mostly need estimating, scheduling, change orders, and draw requests organized in one place, a tool built at that scale can mean paying for depth — and setup complexity — you'll rarely use.
Smart Builder 360 was built specifically for small residential builders and remodelers running a handful of jobs at a time, not large commercial operations. It's a flat $199/month (or $2,189/year), plus $20/month per additional user — no quote call required to see the price. It also includes native bank draw form generation, which matters directly if you build with a construction loan.
