Vendor profile
Billy
SpecialistsSmall construction-focused COI tracking tool aimed at straightforward programs rather than enterprise complexity.
Billy is a construction-oriented COI tracking tool built for smaller operations with relatively simple compliance requirements. It targets the contractor that has outgrown a spreadsheet and a filing cabinet but is not going to buy — or staff — an enterprise compliance platform. The scope is deliberately narrow, and evaluating it fairly means judging it against that intent rather than against the category leaders.
Strengths
- Construction-native framing — the workflow assumes contractor realities rather than generic vendor management
- Simple enough to adopt without a formal implementation project
- Accessible to buyers priced out of, or over-served by, the enterprise platforms
Weaknesses
- Small scale and limited public reference base relative to every other platform profiled here
- Scalability is the binding constraint — programs tend to outgrow it
- No carrier-direct verification capability we are aware of
- Thin integration surface compared with the mid-market and enterprise options
Best fit for
- Smaller construction firms and subcontractors
- Programs with straightforward, low-variation compliance requirements
- Buyers escaping spreadsheets who want something simple and quick to adopt
- Teams without dedicated compliance headcount
Less ideal for
- Enterprise or ENR-scale contractors
- Programs with high certificate volume or complex endorsement requirements
- Buyers who need carrier-direct verification, deep ERP integration, or multi-domain compliance
- Programs expecting significant growth in scope over the next few years
Pricing
Not publicly published. Positioned toward the accessible end of the category, consistent with an SMB focus.

From our research
Billy is a small tool with a clear idea of who it is for, and the honest evaluation question is whether your program will stay inside that envelope. For a smaller contractor with a stable vendor base and uncomplicated requirements, it can be a real improvement over a spreadsheet at a price the enterprise platforms will not match. For anything with growth, volume, or endorsement complexity ahead of it, budget for a migration or start elsewhere. Public information on this vendor is thinner than for the rest of the category, so verify current capability directly during evaluation.
