Takeoff and estimating Built for: GCs and subs Vendor-published

PDF markup and measurement software widely used for takeoff on drawings.

What sets it apart

Basics ($260 per user per year) measures length and area only; count, volume and angle need Core ($330), and Quantity Link to Excel needs Complete ($440). It is the cheapest takeoff route here per year, but the estimate itself still lives in a spreadsheet.

Best forSmall teams that already estimate in Excel and want to measure PDFs cheaply.
