Kisheet vs PDF editors

PDF editors cost less, and some still sell a license you buy once. They measure distance and area. A bid also needs counts, a quantity table, Excel and checks before you send it. Facts from each vendor's page, read 22 October 2026.

You mostly review, sign and mark up documents.
You measure now and then, not for a bid.
You need Mac or phone apps.

When a bid needs more

Counts by symbol, with Visual Search to find the rest.
A takeoff table with formula columns, totals and a live Excel link.
Typical floors and units counted once for every repeat.
Addenda with quantity changes and a health check before you send.

Measure a bid, not just a page.
