Best Free Takeoff Software - Page 2

Solid Takeoff is browser-based construction takeoff software that lets estimators, contractors and trades measure PDF drawings, photos and scans online, with no CAD and no installs. Measure lengths, areas and counts, group measurements into conditions with waste %, and export quantities as PDF or CSV takeoffs. AI scale detection reads the scale bar, a labelled dimension or the title-block ratio, shows a confidence level and waits for you to confirm. Teams can collaborate live on the same drawings, with version history. It runs in the browser on Windows, macOS, Chromebook and iPad, and you can try the editor without signing up. A free plan is available, with paid plans from $12.99 a month and no contracts.

Zip Takeoff is a browser-based takeoff tool for sitework and heavy civil contractors who need accurate quantities without the cost of legacy desktop software. Upload plan PDFs and measure areas, lengths, and counts with vertex-level editing; automatic area pickup extracts vector geometry from supported PDFs for fast editable measurements, and scaled satellite imagery covers sites where plans aren't available. Group every measurement by pay item, turn areas into volumes and material weights with depth and density inputs, keep Base Bid and Alternates separate, and export pay-item totals to Excel with a marked-up plan set. Nothing to install — runs on Mac and Windows in the browser. Free plan: 10 projects, 5 GB storage, 1 estimator seat, full measurement tools and XLSX export. Pro: $39/mo per estimator seat; viewer seats free.
