PlanSwift is a proven desktop takeoff tool. Contractor Co-Pilot is a cloud-based operating system. Which one fits depends on how you work.
PlanSwift has been in the industry for years and does on-screen takeoffs well. If your workflow is centered on measuring plans, they've earned their reputation.
Point-and-click measurement tools for counting, linear, and area takeoffs directly on PDF plans. Fast and precise for experienced users.
Build reusable assemblies that bundle materials, labor, and equipment together. Great for repetitive work across similar projects.
Years of templates, plugins, and training resources. Large user community with deep institutional knowledge.
PlanSwift is a strong choice if you are:
Most specialty contractors don't just need takeoffs — they need estimates, proposals, projects, budgets, invoices, and a way to track profitability. CC connects the whole pipeline.
Takeoffs become estimates, estimates become proposals, proposals become invoices. No re-entry between tools.
No desktop install, no license dongles. Access your data from the office, the truck, or the job site.
Built-in AI assistant that can query your cost database, match materials to takeoff lines, and answer questions about your estimates in plain English.
Contractor Co-Pilot is built for contractors who:
$1,695 - $2,995
One-time purchase per license, with subscription options available. Check their website for current pricing.
$29 - $299/mo
All features included. No per-seat upcharges on Starter. Cancel anytime.
You can export your cost data from PlanSwift to Excel and import it into CC. Your material costs, labor rates, and assemblies transfer over.
CC supports blueprint upload and AI cost matching. You import your takeoff data — AI matches materials, labor, and equipment from your cost database. Automatic plan measurement is on the roadmap.
It depends on your workflow. If your entire process is centered on on-screen plan measurement, PlanSwift is purpose-built for that. If you need the full pipeline — estimates, proposals, projects, invoices — CC covers more ground.
Some contractors use a dedicated takeoff tool for the measurement step and CC for everything else. CC's built-in takeoff and AI cost matching is designed to handle the full workflow in one place.
