Frequently asked questions
What does GoCanvas cost for a small field team?
List pricing is per user, per month, billed annually, with a three-user minimum: Essentials $29, Pro $39 and Max $49. That means the smallest annual commitment is roughly $1,044 on Essentials. Unlimited forms and submissions are included on every plan, and Custom Integrations, Custom Analytics, and White Label/Mobile SDK are priced separately as add-ons.
How long does it take to get live in the field?
GoCanvas markets a drag-and-drop form builder that frontline teams can run without IT, so most buyers can configure initial forms themselves. The Pro plan adds instructor-led onboarding and Max includes one custom form build plus dedicated support and training. A realistic ramp is two to four weeks from configuration to first production use, faster if you reuse existing paper forms as templates.
Does GoCanvas integrate with Salesforce and our ERP?
Yes. The vendor cites 1,000+ integrations, naming Salesforce, Procore, NetSuite and QuickBooks, with API access on the Pro plan and above and open API and webhook support for custom connections. Field data is standardised at capture so it can be read into ERP, CRM and BI tools without re-keying. Custom Integrations are available as a paid add-on for bespoke connections.
Does GoCanvas work offline?
Yes. Mobile app offline access is listed as an Essentials feature, so crews can capture data at the point of work without connectivity and sync later. Captured submissions trigger notifications, workflow routing and auto-generated PDF reports, with photos, timestamps and location data embedded in the output.
Is GoCanvas secure and compliant?
The vendor states SOC 2 Type II certification, GDPR compliance and ISO 27001 compliance, with role-based access controls, encryption in transit and at rest, and audit logs and submission history. Multi-factor authentication is on the Pro plan, single sign-on on Max, and SOC 2 annual report access is listed as a Max-plan feature.
