Commissioning software compared: CxAlloy vs. Facility Grid vs. Bluerithm
If you're still running commissioning on spreadsheets, PDFs and email, any of these platforms is a step up. They have different strengths, though. This comparison sticks to what each vendor publishes on its own site (checked November 2026). Verify current features and pricing with the vendor before you buy.

How to read that table
- Independent Cx agent or small Cx firm: you probably care most about fast checklists, offline field use, and reports that look good with little admin. Trial CxAlloy and Bluerithm side by side on a real project.
- GC or owner on large or mission-critical projects (data centers, hospitals): Facility Grid pitches itself at whole-project readiness and Procore integration, plus automated BAS testing through FG Validate.
- Controls contractor: ask each vendor how their platform handles point-to-point checkout, functional tests and trend-based verification, and how you'd get results back to the Cx agent without retyping.
What to test in a trial
- Build one of your functional test templates, like an AHU or VAV, and time how long it takes.
- Go to the worst dead zone in a building and complete a checklist offline. Confirm it syncs cleanly afterward.
- Generate a final Cx report and hand it to the person who usually assembles them. Ask if they'd sign it.
- Invite a sub as a limited user. How painful is it for them?
- Export everything. Can you get your data out in a usable format?
