FAQ

Questions before you switch

Is FenceTracer a Canadian alternative to FenTek?

Yes. FenceTracer is built around Canadian fence-company workflows: CAD pricing, provincial tax, supplier pricebooks, locates, and installer handoff. FenTek is fence-specific and AI-forward, but Canadian shops should validate currency, tax, supplier, and locate handling during demo.

Which tool is better for satellite estimating?

FenTek emphasizes AI satellite estimating more strongly in its public positioning. FenceTracer is stronger for contractors who quote from site sketches, imported supplier pricebooks, and Canada-specific tax/scheduling workflows.

Which is cheaper?

FenceTracer is $180 CAD/month flat with unlimited users. FenTek's public site showed $149/month Starter, $249/month Pro, and $399/month Enterprise when last checked May 25, 2026. Verify current pricing, currency, seats, and add-ons before comparing.
