PE License Pro is a Harbor Compliance alternative built specifically for architecture and engineering firms. At $15 per seat per monthwith self-serve signup and a 30-day trial, it tracks every discipline's licenses (PE, SE, architect, landscape architect, land surveyor, interior designer), firm Certificates of Authorization with Engineer-in-Charge alerts, business registration deadlines, and CE/PDH hours, and rolls it all into one firm-wide renewal cost and a printable compliance report. Unlike Harbor Compliance, it does not provide registered agent service or file on your behalf, so it can cost less for firms whose compliance is mostly professional licensure.
Harbor Compliance is a capable full-service firm covering registered agent, filings, and business licensing across many industries. An A&E firm's compliance is mostly professional licensure, and that's the part PE License Pro does, at a price you can buy without a procurement cycle.
People
Engineers (PE, SE), architects (RA), landscape architects (PLA), land surveyors (PLS), and interior designers (RID), each tracked against their own state board's CE and renewal rules. One dashboard for the whole firm, not one per profession.

The firm
Your firm's Certificates of Authorization sit next to the licenses that qualify them. Assign an Engineer-in-Charge to each CoA and get alerted when their license is at risk. Secretary of State foreign qualifications, annual reports, franchise tax, and registered agent renewals get the same reminders. We track the deadlines; you file.

Reporting

Comparison reflects publicly available information about both products as of July 2026. Harbor Compliance pricing is quote-based.
If you're moving the license-tracking piece specifically, here's what to expect:
For most firms, the active migration takes a couple of hours.
No quote request, no annual lock-in. Add seats as you hire, remove them when people leave, cancel anytime.
Per-seat tracking for design and engineering firms, with everything the person who manages compliance needs in one place.
Annual billing gets cheaper as the firm grows, and it works like tax brackets: each person is priced by the band they fall in. Your first 100 people are always $150, the next 400 are $110, and so on.
These rates are for annual billing only. Monthly billing is $15 per person each month at any size.
| People | Per person, per year |
|---|---|
| First 100 | $150 |
| 101 to 500 | $110 |
| 501 to 1,000 | $75 |
| Beyond 1000 | $50 |
What that comes to
| 50 people | $7,500/yr | $150 each |
| 200 people | $26,000/yr | $130 each |
| 500 people | $59,000/yr | $118 each |
| 1,000 people | $96,500/yr | $97 each |

Harbor Compliance is a full-service, multi-industry compliance firm covering registered agent service, foreign qualification, business licensing, and license management software, sold through an enterprise sales motion and priced accordingly. For architecture and engineering firms whose core need is professional license, Certificate of Authorization, and CE tracking, the price is often far higher than the value used. PE License Pro fills that gap: an A&E-specific tracker with published per-seat pricing you can buy without a sales call.
Four main things. (1) Auto-import: type a name and city and license data is pulled from state boards, PE licenses in most states and architect licenses in 44. (2) NCEES CPC import, which pulls an engineer's full continuing-education record into the dashboard. (3) Engineer-in-Charge alerts, which flag a firm CoA when its qualifying engineer's license is at risk. (4) Self-serve signup at a published price, with a public live demo you can click through before creating an account.
Harbor Compliance provides registered agent service in all 50 states, files foreign qualifications and annual reports on your behalf, manages business licenses across many industries, and staffs dedicated compliance specialists. PE License Pro tracks business registration deadlines (Secretary of State, annual reports, franchise tax, registered agent renewals) and links you to the right portal, but the filing is still yours to do. If you want a service that files for you, Harbor Compliance is the right fit.
Six: Professional Engineers (PE), Structural Engineers (SE), Architects (RA), Landscape Architects (PLA), Land Surveyors (PLS), and Registered Interior Designers (RID), each with their own state-by-state CE and renewal rules, including interior design in every jurisdiction that regulates it. Auto-import from state boards covers PE licenses in most states and architects in 44. Surveyor and interior design auto-import covers fewer states so far. Anything else takes about a minute to add by hand.
It tracks them. Secretary of State foreign qualifications, annual reports, franchise tax, and registered agent renewal dates all live next to your licenses and CoAs, with the same reminder schedule and a direct link to each state's portal. PE License Pro does not act as your registered agent and does not file on your behalf; it makes sure nothing slips.
PE License Pro publishes pricing up front: $0 for 1 license, $10/month for individuals, $20/month for unlimited licenses plus firm CoA tracking, and $15 per seat per month for firms (minimum 3 seats, 30-day trial, cancel anytime). Harbor Compliance does not publish software pricing; it is quote-based and varies by bundled services.
Yes, two ways. The live demo at pelicensepro.com/demo is a fully populated sample firm you can click through with no signup at all. The free tier covers 1 license forever, and every paid plan, including the firm plan, has a 30-day free trial. No sales call at any point.
No, and we're honest about that. If your firm needs registered agent service or wants filings handled for you, Harbor Compliance covers ground we don't. Some firms use PE License Pro for license, CoA, and registration-deadline tracking and keep a separate registered-agent provider. If professional licensure is the bulk of your compliance surface, which for most A&E firms it is, PE License Pro alone usually covers it.
PE License Pro was built by Alex Woodhams, a Professional Engineer licensed in 30+ states, after years of managing multi-state license tracking by spreadsheet. It is built for architecture and engineering firms, not as a legal-services upsell.
$15 per seat per month, 3-seat minimum, 30-day trial. Every discipline's licenses, your CoAs, and your business registrations. No sales call.
