Takeoff software for small contractors

Fast takeoffs for small contractors.

Markup PDF plans, track quantities, and export to Excel without paying for expensive enterprise software.

No credit card required.

"If BlueBeam is like Adobe, Planline is like Canva."

The Current Options for Takeoffs are S***

Estimating shouldn't take this long, cost this much, or feel this stressful.

Manual Takeoffs take forever.

  • Printing and measuring plans by hand
  • Recounting and double-checking pages
  • 8+ hrs behind a screen per bid (true story)

Takeoff software is too expensive.

  • $6K+ per year... Ouch.
  • Hundreds of features you don't use
  • Yearly contracts only

One wrong number and you lose money.

  • Miss a count, measurement, or revision
  • The whole bid goes sideways
  • Profit? Gone.

Built around what contractors actually need.

Upload a PDF, measure, export. That's the whole workflow.
