Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Fieldwire at 4.8 against Trimble ProjectSight's 3.7. Fieldwire also leads on review sentiment (85% vs 53%) and ratings volume (14K vs 80). Trimble ProjectSight's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
