List prices in US dollars before taxes, from each vendor's own pricing page, read 22 October 2026: Bluebeam [1], PlanSwift [3], STACK [4]. Kisheet's prices are proposed. The last row multiplies those list prices by the number of estimators; Bluebeam's Complete price ($440 per user a year) is from the same page [1]. Kisheet's one-time price includes 12 months of updates; renewal pricing isn't set yet.

Where we fit

Free to look. One price for everything else.

Planned

Free for everyone who only looks at plans

Kisheet Free is planned at $0, for anyone and with no account: open, search and print PDFs, every markup tool including stamps, signing, OCR, forms and redaction. Measuring and takeoff are in Company. Every one of these tools works in Kisheet today; when the free edition comes out is not decided yet.

Already true today: takeoffs and markups are saved inside the PDF as standard annotations, so any PDF viewer shows them. Per-user tools such as Bluebeam and PlanSwift charge for every seat, including people who only look [1] [3].

Available

Company: the full toolset, one price for everyone

one-time once, or monthly a month, for the whole company. Never per user, and takeoff isn't split into tiers.

Takeoff: length, area, count, volume and slope, Fill Area and Visual Search
PDF markup: clouds, callouts, stamps and the Takeoff table
Estimating: formula columns, unit pricing and the live Excel link
Documents: compare and overlay, OCR, batch jobs, forms and signatures
Bid day: addenda with quantity changes, the health check, freezing the bid, bid letters
Buy once. Kisheet offers a one-time license; of the other takeoff tools we read, none does. Bluebeam stopped in 2023. [2]
Offline on your PC. STACK runs in the browser. Kisheet keeps your drawings on your computer. [4]

Where others are ahead today

Automatic takeoff. PlanSwift Core [3] and STACK Premium [4] offer it. We don't.
A cost database. STACK Pro includes one [4]. Ours is Planned
Mac, web and phones. Kisheet is Windows only for now. A browser edition is Planned
Years in the field. These are established products. Kisheet is new.
