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 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. ----- ### "Improvement Ideas" — 3.0/5 > **Sara** | *15 May 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Simple \& easy to learn. Has potential but should adopt several of the AutoCAD features, see below... > > **Cons**: Room for improvement. A number of ideas: - Option to send areas to back and lock them. This would enable you to click on lines \& count symbols without having to hid the area. Same idea for locking highlights. - Develop an AI future to colour areas on elevations. This would be very beneficial for us, leaving more time to analyze details rather than manually colouring areas. - Have an automatic save function and be able to return to previous versions. - Have a function of a 'cutting line' where you can trim all areas, linear quantities at the point of contact with the cutting line, similar to AutoCAD feature. - Option to save overlayed floor plans to review them later. ----- ### "STACK tool simplifying our renovation cost calculations" — 5.0/5 > **Ricky** | *9 July 2026* | Facilities Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: For quickly estimating material costs during renovation or heavy maintenance projects, STACK is an excellent discovery. This cloud-based software allows uploading PDF blueprints and performing highly precise takeoffs (calculating areas, volumes, and lengths) in a few clicks > > **Cons**: The platform is primarily optimized for the North American market, which shows in certain default measurement units and technical terminologies that require manual adjustment at the start. ----- 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
