What’s different about Planquote: the priced quote is built into the takeoff (rates, labour lines, markup and tax, then a quote PDF with your logo), it runs in the browser on Windows, Mac, Chromebook and iPad, and Pro is £99 a year with a free plan. Metres.ai and STACK Pro also produce quotes or proposals, and PlanSwift includes estimating; the others hand you quantities for your own spreadsheet or estimate.

Questions
Do I need to install anything?
No. Planquote runs in your browser on Windows, Mac, Chromebook or iPad. Open a PDF of the drawings and start measuring.
How accurate is it?
As accurate as the scale you set. Draw along a dimension you know (a 5 m wall, say) and type its length; Planquote works out the scale from that. Ratio scales like 1:100 work when the PDF is at its true paper size.
What can I measure?
Lengths (walls, skirting, fencing, cable runs), areas with cutouts (floors, roofs, paving), and counts (sockets, doors, posts). Lengths can become wall areas with a height; areas become volumes with a depth.
Can I put my logo on the quote?
Yes, on the free plan too. Add your business details and logo once, and every quote PDF carries them, with your VAT or tax number if you have one. Free-plan quotes also have a small “Made with Planquote” line at the bottom; Pro removes it.
Where are my jobs saved?
In your browser on this computer, automatically as you work. Nothing is uploaded, so a job you start on one computer stays on that computer, and clearing the browser’s site data deletes it.
How does the price compare?
Planquote Pro is £12 a month or £99 a year, with a free plan to try it on a real job. Windows desktop tools such as PlanSwift and Bluebeam Revu cost hundreds to thousands of dollars per user per year; some browser tools cost about the same as Planquote (see the comparison). Planquote puts the priced quote PDF in the same tool as the takeoff.
What currency am I charged in?
Pro is priced in pounds sterling: £12 a month or £99 a year. Stripe’s checkout may show the amount in your own currency; if it doesn’t, your bank converts it. The quotes you make can be in GBP, EUR, USD, CAD, AUD or NZD.
