Per-seat licenses
Cost scales with headcount.
Desktop licensing means adding an estimator means adding a license. Cloud delivery scales with the work, not the seats.
PlanSwift pricing alternative
Comparing PlanSwift pricing? Compare the whole loop
PlanSwift pricing is per-seat desktop licensing: every estimator who needs access needs a license and a Windows machine to run it on. The license is only part of the cost — the hours to drive manual takeoff are the rest. Boon is cloud AI construction estimating software that does the takeoff for you and returns a bid-ready package in Slack.
The real cost of desktop takeoff
A per-seat license is the visible number. The bigger cost is the workflow: manual measuring hours on every bid, multiplied by every estimator who needs a seat.
Manual hours
The hidden line item.
PlanSwift speeds up measuring, but a person still measures. Boon's AI does the takeoff, so estimator hours go to pricing and judgment.
The IT tax
Windows installs to maintain.
Per-PC installs mean updates, machine requirements, and no native Mac support. Cloud software has none of that.
What Boon returns for the spend
Boon reads every sheet and every spec section as one document, does the takeoff automatically, flags mismatches, and delivers a bid-ready package to Slack.
AI takeoff
The measuring is done.
Quantities across trades, produced by the Construction Vision Model, with published per-trade F1 scores you can verify.
Spec cross-check
Errors caught early.
Spec-to-drawing mismatches are flagged in the package, protecting margin before the bid goes out.
Team-wide access
No seats to count.
Cloud delivery to Slack means the whole team sees the same package without another license.
