The table your renewal call won't show you.

Published list pricing per seat, read off each vendor's own pricing page on September 20, 2026. Where a vendor publishes no price, the row says quote-only and carries no number — we would rather leave a cell empty than fill it with somebody else's figure.

Two honest caveats that belong at the top of the table rather than the bottom. On-Screen Takeoff and Drawboard Projects publish nothing comparable, so they are left out of every saving figure on this site rather than estimated into one. Comparable tier means the cheapest tier that does what one Groundwork seat does — full measurement and AI-assisted takeoff — not the vendor's cut-down entry tier. Comparing a whole product against somebody's viewer is the trick these pages exist to call out.

C-001One page each

Including the part where they beat us.

Every comparison below names something the other product does better, because a page that does not is an advertisement, and you can tell.

Bluebeam Revu

Revu earned its reputation — deep markup, Studio collaboration, twenty years of it. It also stopped selling perpetual licenses, retired its Mac and iPad apps, and put AI on the top tier of four.

$590/seat/yr comparableRead the comparison

PlanSwift

PlanSwift deserves its install base: genuinely easy to learn, fast point-and-click takeoff, strong assemblies. It is also Windows-only, sold by the year, and its pricing page has no perpetual license on it.

$2,000/seat/yr comparableRead the comparison

STACK

STACK built a polished cloud takeoff platform — real collaboration, deep prebuilt libraries, well-rated support. It is also browser-only, has no offline mode, and its mobile app does not do takeoff.

$2,988/seat/yr comparableRead the comparison

On-Screen Takeoff

On-Screen Takeoff practically invented digital takeoff, and a loyal base in the commercial interior trades has stayed with it for thirty years. It is also Windows-only, sells estimating as a second product, and will not publish a price.

Quote-onlyRead the comparison

Togal.AI

Togal's one-click detection is genuinely impressive on clean commercial sets, and large GCs use it. It is also browser-only, billed yearly only, and there is no estimating layer underneath the AI.

$3,588/seat/yr comparableRead the comparison

Kreo

Kreo's AI takeoff is genuinely advanced — Auto Measure finds rooms and walls, the Caddie agent builds quantities on its own. It is also browser-only, online-only, and the AI you saw in the demo is the top tier of three.

$2,100/seat/yr comparableRead the comparison

Drawboard Projects

Drawboard Projects is genuinely good design-review software: best-in-class pen inking, automatic revision overlays, honest published pricing. It measures exactly two things — calibrated lengths and simple areas.
