Square Takeoff review

Square Takeoff keeps things simple: every plan includes every feature, and the only choice is how you pay. Month-to-month costs $249 with no contract, quarterly costs $599 and annual costs $1,699, which works out to about $142 a month. You drag in PDF or image files, set a scale or use the preset page scale, then measure areas, lengths and counts. Blueprint overlay compares versions so you can update a takeoff after revisions, a dedicated roof tool measures hips, valleys and gable ends, and the estimates module produces material, labor and equipment breakdowns from a parts catalog you can edit. Team management, bid management and Excel reporting round it out. The product does not document AI takeoff, so every measurement is drawn by hand, and teams needing several licenses have to call sales for pricing.
