Questions architects ask

The short answers before you sign up.

Do I need to integrate with city permit portals?

No integration required. Permitful works alongside any city's permit system. You manually enter permit information and milestones, and Permitful helps you organize and track everything in one place. This works with any city's portal, whether it's Accela, ProjectDox, Austin Build + Connect, or any other system.

Is Permitful free?

Yes, for your first project. The free plan includes one active project, one Permit Advisor run, permit and milestone tracking, and calendar export, with no credit card required. Upgrade to Pro when you need unlimited projects, Permit Advisor on every project, and public client dashboards.

Is my project data private?

Yes. Projects are private by default, and only you can see them when you're signed in. A project's details become viewable without signing in only if you turn on its public dashboard, and then only to people who have its private link. Public dashboards are also hidden from search engines. You can switch a dashboard back to private at any time.

Can my whole team use Permitful?

Each Permitful account belongs to one person, so each person who tracks projects signs up for their own account. To keep colleagues, consultants and clients up to date on a project, share its live public dashboard, which is included with Pro.

How does Permit Advisor work?

Permit Advisor uses AI and real-time web search to automatically suggest all the permits you need for your project based on your project type and location. When you create a new project, Permit Advisor analyzes your project details and recommends permits you might need—helping you avoid missing critical permits. Free accounts get one run to try it, and Pro runs it on every project.
