Currently You can bring in pdf files directly, or import and have planswift convert them into tiffs. Unfortunately both methods are raster based so there is no intelligence for selecting lines, planes etc. The plans are essentially just images, so you can't turn on/off layers in pdfs, you can't import design files directly and there is no 3d capability. While planswift has a "one click" auto takeoff, I have never found it reliable and have always reverted to doing it manually > > I have been a planswift user for many years and find it essential to my work. I only use it for basic takeoff, but know it can be used more extensively for estimating/budgeting etc also It is much better than using takeoff in PDF software, but I'm confident there are better options out there that can utilise native design files and vector pdf, and have AI inbuilt ----- ### "Are you planning for a swift? Then go for it\!" — 4.0/5 > **Sam** | *22 September 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Planswift is simple to use estimating software. It does not require much training to use all the functions of it. > > **Cons**: The takeoff page of Planswift is not linked to the workbook. Hence the quantities in workbook does not update itself. > > I have used PlanSwift three to four years, with different employers. It is Value for money, compared to other estimating softwares. Its performance and speed is also reasonable good. ----- ### "Bait & switch scammers" — 1.0/5 > **Israel** | *10 April 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I think Planswift is a great software. It is customizable and effective. > > **Cons**: Customer service. 100%. I paid thousands of dollars back in 2017 to buy perpetual licenses for the software. They told me that these are lifetime licenses. However, in 2025, they told me that they no longer support perpetual licenses and that we would have to pay an annual subscription fee to "support" our license. We worked with our sales rep and worked to pay for the annual fee for one seat, but not the other. They told us that this is perfectly fine. A few weeks later, they deactivated our seat without telling us, saying that it wasn't allowed. > > Great for years, until they got too greedy and stopped caring out their customers. ----- ### "Planswift Take Off Software" — 4.0/5 > **Ryan** | *24 March 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of use of the take off features. They just made sense. > > **Cons**: To actually put numbers to the take offs inside of planswift and do formulas etc was really not user friendly and hard to use. > > Used the product for years, recently just moved our commercial estimators to something a bit more complete, but still have Planswift in use for our residential estimators and ops teams for take offs. Its really good if you are ok with building your estimate outside of the platform. Take off is super easy to learn and use. ----- ### "My Favorite Takeoff Software" — 4.0/5 > **Derek** | *22 November 2018* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Its easy to use, intuitive, and great for any estimator with very little experience. > > **Cons**: Often times you cannot overlay drawings how you'd like. > > Great\! Its helped to increase productivity with takeoffs\! ----- Page: 1 / 17\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/70808/planswift?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/70808/planswift) ## 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 | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
