Pricing questions
One credit ≈ one trade sheet the engine processes. A small single-sheet job is 1 credit; a multi-sheet electrical set is a few. Every plan includes a monthly allotment, and if you go over, extra credits are billed at your plan's per-credit rate — never a hard stop mid-bid.
Yes. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial and your first plan is on us. We take a card to start (so there's no interruption when the trial converts), but nothing is charged for 14 days and you can cancel anytime before then.
A takeoff service charges $150–$500 per plan set and takes days. Starter is $59 a month for 20 credits — that's less than one service invoice, and you get the result in minutes instead of days, in your own prices.
Anytime, from your billing settings. Upgrade, downgrade, or cancel — no contracts, no cancellation fees.
Starter and Pro cover your single trade. Contractor and Team unlock all 12 trades — the right fit for GCs and shops that bid across divisions.
Credits reset each month. Most contractors size their plan to a typical month and let overage cover the busy ones — cheaper than paying for a bigger plan you rarely fill.
