## Reviews

### "Exactly the right sofware at the right price" — 5.0/5

> **Alexis** | *22 August 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The logical price, easy of use, super simple. Also I was looking for an online solution, not a local base one that can't be accesed easily
> 
> **Cons**: Was missing some features at the beginning but was already far better than what I expected, then they added a lot of stuff, including the small things I was hoping for
> 
> Its exactly the software I needed for what I do. Takeoffs for painting projects. I load my drawings, take my measures and notes in takecost and do my calculations in a google sheet. Didn't tried the estimating feature yet but its probably as good as the measure feature
