STOA Verdict	Sage 100 Contractor is best for construction companies with 5-50 employees who need serious job costing and payroll in one place. The depth of construction-specific features — like certified payroll and subcontractor tracking — is hard to beat. The big downside is that it's expensive, complex to set up, and feels dated compared to newer cloud-based options.
