Windows-only
No Mac client.
PlanSwift installs per Windows PC. Parallels and remote desktops add lag and IT overhead to every estimate.
PlanSwift Mac alternative
A PlanSwift alternative that runs on your Mac
PlanSwift is a Windows desktop takeoff and estimating tool. There is no native Mac version — Mac-based estimators are stuck with virtual machines or a shared Windows box. Boon runs entirely in the cloud: upload a plan set from any browser on any Mac, and the AI returns a bid-ready package in Slack.
Why Mac teams move off PlanSwift
PlanSwift's drag-and-drop takeoff and assemblies are proven. The constraint is the platform: a per-PC Windows install in a world where estimators work everywhere.
Per-seat install
Licensed per machine.
Each estimator needs their own install and license. Cloud software has no seats to manage.
You drive it
The measuring is manual.
PlanSwift organizes drag-and-drop takeoff; a person still does every measurement. Boon's AI does the takeoff itself.
What Boon does instead
Boon is AI construction estimating software. It reads drawings and specs together, does the takeoff automatically, flags spec-to-drawing mismatches, and returns a bid-ready package to your Slack channel.
Automatic takeoff
No clicking every condition.
The Construction Vision Model reads every sheet and returns quantities across trades, with published per-trade F1 accuracy scores.
Specs + drawings
Read as one document.
Conflicts between the spec book and the plans surface in the package, before they become change orders.
Works on a Mac
Browser in, Slack out.
No install, no VM, no shared Windows box. Upload the plans; the package arrives in Slack.
See Boon on your own plans
Book a 20-minute call, or skip the call entirely: email a plan set to plans@getboon.ai and the bid-ready package comes back to you.
