Togal.AI
AI-powered automated takeoffs from construction drawings.
Our verdict
One of the most capable AI takeoff tools, priced for commercial estimators. A small residential builder will likely get better value from Groundplan or Buildxact.
Best for: Commercial estimators doing high-volume takeoffs
What it does
Togal.AI uses AI to automate takeoffs: it detects and measures areas and objects on construction drawings, with chat prompts and image/symbol search to find items across a plan set. The Growth plan includes unlimited automated takeoffs.

Other plan reading & takeoffs tools
Bluebeam Revu
The industry-standard PDF markup and measurement tool for construction drawings.
Verdict: Not really an AI tool, but if your builders send Bluebeam sessions you'll need it. Pair it with an AI takeoff tool for the smart stuff.
Price: Basics US$260, Core US$330, Complete US$440 per user/year (list price).
Groundplan
Cloud takeoff and estimating for Australian trades, with AI Count Assist.
Verdict: Great value for trades who price off plans. Count Assist is a real time-saver for sparkies counting GPOs and lights.
Price: A$99 per seat/month, or A$990 per seat/year. No lock-in. 7-day free trial, no card.
Kreo
Online takeoff software with AI auto-measure and auto-count.
Verdict: Cheaper than Togal with solid AI measuring. Worth a trial if you do a lot of takeoffs and don't need AU supplier price integration.
Price: Pro $175 per user/month billed annually (AI tools included). Business $250 per user/month billed annually. Enterprise custom. 7-day free trial. Check currency on site.
