Same job. A fraction of the price.

Purpose-built steel estimating tools start at $399/month and make you sit through a sales demo first. ERPs want five figures before you quote your first job. FabTakeoff is for the shops they ignore.

AI takeoff platforms

$399–$1,499/mo

Powerful, but priced for high-volume shops. Entry tiers alone cost more than most small shops' entire software budget.

Fabrication ERPs

$15k–$100k+

Estimating buried inside enterprise systems with implementation projects, training, and annual fees.

Generic takeoff tools

~$15–$300/mo

Cheap, but they don't know what a W12x26 weighs. You bring your own shape data and build everything by hand.
