Easy enough to create assemblies > > **Cons**: No real history / snapshot of estimate. Once assembly changes your estimate changes. Poor AI integration to be able to get estimate into your own presentation template No customer support for Australia time zone No schedule and or cashflow integration. Not a project management tool. It’s an estimating tool. > > It’s a good tool but expensive for what it does. It works but AI will make it obsolete for many customers if you don’t stay ahead of the curve and start offering customer focused solutions. Why would I pay these huge subscriptions otherwise ----- ### "Good product" — 4.0/5 > **Dhaval** | *27 February 2026* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use product and good functionality and features provided. User friendly product and easy to configure. > > **Cons**: It should provide updates frequently and cost should be very competitive with other options available in market. > > Easy interface and user friendly application. Feature which provided are really very useful. Strong technical support team. ----- ### "Stack is a win for the little guys" — 4.0/5 > **RJ** | *15 May 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The price was very the right mix of features and dollars when compared to other software like it. We are a small operation and couldn't a high purchase price plus training costs. The training was included for stack, which was great. > > **Cons**: For the roofing industry they do not always seem the most knowledgeable about how to help us. Their examples seem to be plumbing or concrete which doesn't always apply to what we are trying to do. > > The people have been super friendly from the start, and they do always try to help. Being able to use the chat to start support is great as well. I do my best to attend their webinars about new features as well. ----- ### "Not a fan." — 1.0/5 > **Gary** | *27 October 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Cloud basing makes protecting data easy and safe. Updates and improvements seem to be automatic so there is no need to install anything. > > **Cons**: Importing material prices is VERY cumbersome. You have to manually import prices which is time consuming. Every item has to be manually entered and often the user has to convert vendor pricing to user pricing, again very time consuming. > > I've been working with this software for three + weeks and have yet to complete an estimate. I am very frustrated. ----- ### "Stack Review for Demolition in Construction" — 5.0/5 > **George** | *15 May 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: User interface and flexibility for building estimates. Excel formula functionality makes it easy to build take-offs. We're beginning to explore linking Stack with Sage Intacct for accounting which is a great feature if it works as described. Customer support is always quick and responsive. > > **Cons**: The servers sometimes have issues causing lag. There have been a lot of changes to the UI recently which causes a minor learning curve for each patch, but overall, it's not a big deal. > > I've implemented Stack at 2 construction companies now. One of them as an MEP sub and one as a demolition sub. It's worked great for both if you know how to build it. ----- Page: 1 / 57\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/147181/stack-takeoff?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/147181/stack-takeoff) ## 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 | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
