Kreo review

Clearest published tiers, AI starts at Pro.

Verdict

Kreo ranks first because its pricing page publishes three prices and says what each tier adds. Essential covers area, length, volume and count measurement on PDF, CAD and image files with drawing comparison. Pro adds one-click area and line measurement, auto symbol counting, AI takeoff for rooms, walls, doors and windows, AI scale detection and batch AI takeoff across sheets.

What customers praise

Essential is $100 per user per month ($1,200 a year), Pro is $175 ($2,100 a year) and Business is $15,000 a year with 5 seats. Essential, Pro and Business include a 7-day free trial, and the page lists unlimited guests on Essential.

What customers criticise

The AI features that save the most time sit on Pro, not Essential. Everything is billed annually with no monthly option, and Enterprise has no price on the page. Optional API add-ons for Pro cost extra, from $140 per user per year.

Best for

Estimators who want AI takeoff for rooms, walls, doors and windows at a published per-user price, with Excel export and drawing comparison.
