Kreo review

Kreo covers both halves of the job, measuring and pricing, at a lower seat price than most plan-based tools here. The Essential plan at $100 per user a month, billed as $1,200 a year, reads PDF, CAD and image files, measures area, length, volume and count, and shows takeoffs in 2D and 3D. Estimates are live-linked to measurements, so quantities update as the takeoff changes, and custom assemblies and a shared company cost database keep pricing consistent across estimators. Drawing comparison, annotations, Excel import and export and unlimited guests round out the plan. Pro at $175 adds the AI features: one-click area and line measurements, automatic symbol counting, AI takeoff of rooms, walls, doors and windows, scale detection and batch takeoff across sheets, plus the Caddie AI assistant. Business adds SSO, API access and IFC export. The free trial is only 7 days, so plan a real bid for that week.
