PermitFlow is stronger for teams that mainly need permit research, application submission, AHJ coordination, inspections, and closeout across many U.S. jurisdictions. AutoSitu is broader for teams that need project intelligence across feasibility, jurisdiction-specific departmental compliance review — including planning and zoning, engineering and public works, fire, building, and environmental requirements — plus enterprise QA/QC, takeoff, and scope analysis.
Decision guide
Evidence: AutoSitu product scope, PermitFlow workflow, and Procore Marketplace.
The narrow concession
PermitFlow is purpose-built for teams that want the permit process handled and tracked from research through closeout.
A published flow covers requirements research, form preparation, submission, status tracking, AHJ communication, issuance, inspections, and closeout.
PermitFlow says it supports the continental United States and has active experience in more than 7,000 municipalities.
PermitFlow states that it manages AHJ rejections and revision requests and notifies customers when input or signatures are required.
Its embedded Procore experience is independently listed, and PermitFlow publishes an Autodesk Construction Cloud integration.
The broader system
One project. One evolving source of intelligence — from the first feasibility question to the last quantity released for construction.
Site feasibility, entitlement context, design review, compliance, QA/QC, quantities, and construction scope stay connected instead of becoming isolated handoffs.
Planning and zoning, engineering and public works, fire, building, environmental, and specialized requirements are applied to the same drawings using the adopted codes and local amendments for the reviewing jurisdiction.
Enterprise QA/QC checks firm standards, cross-sheet consistency, multidisciplinary coordination, revisions, constructability, and documentation completeness.
Drawing-derived quantities are organized across CSI divisions and traced back to source elements and sheets for estimating and scope analysis.
What changes by workflow
PermitFlow is the more direct fit when a team wants software and service support for preparing applications, filing them, following up with authorities having jurisdiction, handling revisions, and carrying permits through inspections and closeout. AutoSitu's public materials establish review, compliance, and submission-readiness capabilities, but not an equivalent managed filing service.
AutoSitu starts before permit administration and mirrors how jurisdictions review projects. It structures parcel and zoning constraints, then applies planning and zoning, engineering and public works, fire, building, environmental, and specialized requirements to the same set in parallel — with adopted codes, local amendments, citations, and sheet locations.
AutoSitu continues after design and compliance review into all-division takeoff, revision comparison, buyout packages, and scope-gap analysis. PermitFlow's published scope centers on permitting, inspections, closeout, and licensing rather than drawing-derived quantities or scope analysis.
Pricing
Neither company publishes a dependable self-serve list price. Both use quote or order-form language, and the service scope can differ materially.
AutoSitu
Custom quote
Fees and subscription terms are governed by the applicable order form, invoice, subscription agreement, or statement of work.
PermitFlow
Custom quote
Current terms tie services and fees to an order form; its Procore listing says pricing information is not publicly available.
Hold these constant across quotes
Recommendation
The right choice depends on where the workflow breaks today.
Your primary bottleneck is researching, filing, tracking, and closing permits across many U.S. jurisdictions, and you want dedicated AHJ coordination.
Your larger problem is fragmented project knowledge across feasibility, entitlement, design, compliance, QA/QC, estimating, and scope.
AutoSitu supports project analysis and readiness while PermitFlow manages downstream filing, AHJ coordination, inspections, and closeout. Confirm data handoffs during evaluation.
