LienDone vs GCPay
GCPay is a full pay-application and compliance platform for general contractors, now owned by Autodesk. LienDone is the lien-waiver-only piece you bolt onto whatever billing setup you already run.
Short version
GCPay (acquired by Autodesk via its January 2026 deal for Payapps, GCPay's parent) is a cloud platform built around the AIA G702/G703 pay-application cycle. Lien waivers, ePayments, compliance docs, and an integration roster covering Procore, Sage, CMiC, Acumatica, and Viewpoint all sit on top of that pay-app spine. The pitch is one platform for the whole payment-and-compliance flow.
LienDone is narrower on purpose. We don't run your pay app. We don't move money. We don't track every compliance doc. We do one job: send a tokenized link, get a signed waiver back, log who signed when. If your pay-app process already works in Sage or QuickBooks or a spreadsheet and only the waiver step is broken, LienDone slots in without disturbing the rest.
Side by side
| Dimension | LienDone | GCPay |
|---|---|---|
| Subcontractor account required to sign? | No. Tokenized link, no signup, no app | Yes. Subs join GCPay to submit pay apps and exchange waivers |
| Pricing transparency | $49 / month or $490 / year. Published. | Custom quote based on volume and feature set |
| Time to first signed waiver | Same day. Add a project, send a link, get a PDF back. | Implementation + sub onboarding into GCPay before first payment cycle |
| Statutory CA / TX / NV waiver text | Verbatim from the statute. Pre-filled with project + sub data. | Yes (varies by tier and add-on) |
| Signed PDF audit footer (IP, timestamp, token) | On every PDF. ESIGN Act § 7001 compliant. | Available; format varies |
| Built for | Mid-market U.S. GCs (10–500 employees) | Mid-market and enterprise GCs running the full AIA pay-app cycle, not just waivers |
| Scope of the product | Lien waivers only. One job, one dashboard. | Pay-app automation, compliance doc tracking, ePayments, lien waivers, and integrations across Procore, Sage 100/300, CMiC, Acumatica, Viewpoint |
| Subcontractor experience | One link, one signature, no account, two minutes. | Subs log in to GCPay to upload pay apps, submit waivers, and respond to compliance requests |
| Notary support | Not in scope. We collect e-signed waivers under ESIGN Act § 7001. If you need notarized waivers (rare, state-specific), use a separate notary service. | Built-in online notary documented as compliant across all 50 states |
| ePayments and money movement | Not in scope. We give you the signed PDF, you pay through your existing ACH / cheque flow. | ePayments built in: pay subs directly through the platform after compliance is cleared |
| Ownership and consolidation risk | Independent SaaS. One product, one price, no parent platform agenda. | Owned by Autodesk (via the Payapps acquisition announced January 2026). Roadmap likely tied to broader Autodesk Construction Cloud strategy |
When GCPay is the right call
If you need pay-app automation, ePayments, notarized waivers, and a deep integration into Sage, CMiC, or Viewpoint inside one platform, GCPay is built for that whole flow. If you're also rolling out Autodesk Construction Cloud, the post-acquisition roadmap will likely line up. Buying a waiver-only tool would leave the rest of your AP work uncovered.
When LienDone is the right call
- Your pay-app flow already works (Sage, Foundation, QuickBooks, Excel) and only the waiver collection step is broken.
- You don't want subs creating yet another account just to sign a release.
- You want $49 / month on the website instead of a quote tied to construction volume.
- You'd rather not bet on an Autodesk-owned roadmap for a one-job workflow.
