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-Winwater CLE- Mike" — 5.0/5 > **Michael** | *15 May 2026* | Wholesale | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: User Friendly, keeps all of my takeoffs that I complete in order and organized. Can leave off and pick up right at the same spot. No confusion. > > **Cons**: Not many issues I’ve had for takeoffs. I work mainly with Civil plans. I like the idea of an AI feature but for civil the plans can get pretty messy. > > Great\! Would recommend. I started with another company for takeoffs but since making the switch I can’t say that I am disappointed. Stack has been great tool for our projects. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "Honest Stack Review" — 5.0/5 > **Jeffery** | *15 May 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The value of the product vs cost is great, I had an employee move over from another service and has been amazing at how smooth stack is. Customer service is amazing > > **Cons**: I would honestly say the lack of AI support for underground utilities projects and waterworks. I understand its hard with how many things arent called out for but it would be nice to have something more there. > > It has been great\! Cross referencing in this program is great and really helps streamline our quoting. ----- 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
