It is customizable and effective. > > **Cons**: Customer service. 100%. I paid thousands of dollars back in 2017 to buy perpetual licenses for the software. They told me that these are lifetime licenses. However, in 2025, they told me that they no longer support perpetual licenses and that we would have to pay an annual subscription fee to "support" our license. We worked with our sales rep and worked to pay for the annual fee for one seat, but not the other. They told us that this is perfectly fine. A few weeks later, they deactivated our seat without telling us, saying that it wasn't allowed. > > Great for years, until they got too greedy and stopped caring out their customers. ----- ### "Planswift Take Off Software" — 4.0/5 > **Ryan** | *24 March 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of use of the take off features. They just made sense. > > **Cons**: To actually put numbers to the take offs inside of planswift and do formulas etc was really not user friendly and hard to use. > > Used the product for years, recently just moved our commercial estimators to something a bit more complete, but still have Planswift in use for our residential estimators and ops teams for take offs. Its really good if you are ok with building your estimate outside of the platform. Take off is super easy to learn and use. ----- ### "Effective 2D Takeoff Software" — 4.0/5 > **Matt** | *16 June 2017* | Building Materials | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use for point and click, dimension scaling and calibration, elevation markups, text bubbles and snapshots for RFIs, no annual license fee if you so choose to not receive updates, cheapest entry price of any software > > **Cons**: Estimating software leaves a lot to be desired. The inputs and functions you can use don't always cover your entire needs and leaves us using Excel with our house made matrix to estimate. Sometimes plans with large file sizes crash the software, but could be due to our own RAM constraints (8 GB). > > I would highly recommend it as a tool to save costs on plan for things like budgets or for companies making their first leap into on-screen takeoffs rather than old school plans and scaling/highlighting. ----- ### "From Blueprints to Bids" — 5.0/5 > **Candida** | *12 December 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: PlanSwift really shines in how it simplifies takeoffs and estimates. What I liked most is its drag-and-drop functionality combined with digital blueprints—you can quickly measure areas, lengths, and counts directly on-screen without juggling paper plans. > > **Cons**: The main cons of PlanSwift are its steep learning curve, limited document compatibility, occasional software glitches or licensing issues, and customer support gaps. > > Measuring areas, lengths, and counts directly on digital blueprints saves enormous time compared to manual takeoffs. Assemblies and templates let you build repeatable systems (e.g., flooring packages, electrical runs) that streamline estimating. Exports smoothly into Excel and other estimating tools, bridging field detail with polished bid documents. ----- Page: 1 / 17\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/70808/planswift?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/70808/planswift) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
