Verdict
PlanSwift earns its spot due to its best-in-class speed and simplicity for 2D takeoffs, allowing estimators to measure and quantify plans faster than almost any other tool.
What customers praise
The drag-and-drop functionality for creating assemblies (e.g., a wall assembly with studs, drywall, and paint) directly on the takeoff is a massive time-saver.
What customers criticise
It is a desktop-only Windows application, lacking the collaboration and accessibility of cloud-based platforms like STACK.
Best for
Subcontractors and general contractors who prioritize raw speed for 2D on-screen takeoffs above all else.
