About PlanSwift
PlanSwift is digital takeoff and estimating software sold by ConstructConnect. Estimators load plans (PDF, DWG, JPG, TIFF and other formats), then measure areas, lengths and volumes with a few clicks, count symbols such as doors, windows and fixtures, and compare plan versions with overlays. Assemblies that include material and labor costing turn those quantities into an estimate, and results can be exported to Excel.
ConstructConnect lists PlanSwift for general contractors and a wide range of trades, including concrete, drywall, electrical, excavation, flooring, framing, HVAC, landscape, painting and plumbing. You can build your own formulas and assemblies, and ConstructConnect says it has several trade-specific plug-ins available for purchase. Markup and annotation tools and team sharing of takeoffs and estimates are also included, and the FAQ says PlanSwift integrates with Excel, QuickBooks and other estimating software.
PlanSwift was founded in 2007 and was based in Bountiful, Utah, when ConstructConnect bought its assets in April 2018. ConstructConnect, headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, was itself acquired by Roper Technologies in 2016. ConstructConnect also sells other takeoff products, including On-Screen Takeoff and ConstructConnect Takeoff.
ConstructConnect does not publish a PlanSwift price. It says pricing varies with the number of seats and your business needs, and it offers a free trial. By comparison, the separate ConstructConnect Takeoff product has published prices of $1,200 and $2,200 per seat per year.
The trade-off: you need a sales quote to know the cost, and trade plug-ins add to it. PlanSwift covers takeoff and estimating only, so scheduling, job management and accounting stay in other software (with QuickBooks as a named integration).
Pricing

No public PlanSwift price: ConstructConnect says pricing varies by number of seats and business needs, and offers a free trial (length not stated). Trade-specific plug-ins are sold separately. ConstructConnect's pricing page lists PlanSwift without a price; the prices shown there ($1,200 and $2,200 per seat per year) belong to the separate ConstructConnect Takeoff product.

PlanSwift does not publish a price, so you need a quote before you can compare it (49 of the 127 tools we list are quote-only). A missing price is not evidence of a high one. Get the quote in writing and confirm what it includes (number of users, integrations, onboarding, support) before you sign.

Key features
Integrations
Pros
- + Fast point-and-click takeoff
Measure areas, lengths and volumes with a few clicks and count repeated symbols such as doors, windows and fixtures.
- + Assemblies with material and labor
Assemblies and custom formulas turn measured quantities into material and labor costs, so repeat items do not have to be priced by hand on every job.
- + Plan version overlays
Overlay comparisons show changes between plan revisions, which helps catch scope changes before you re-bid.
- + Many trades covered
ConstructConnect lists general contractors plus concrete, drywall, electrical, excavation, flooring, framing, HVAC, landscape, painting and plumbing, with trade plug-ins available.
- + Excel and QuickBooks
Takeoff data exports to Excel, and ConstructConnect says PlanSwift integrates with QuickBooks and other estimating software.
Cons
- − No published price
ConstructConnect quotes PlanSwift by seat count and business needs, so you cannot compare cost without talking to sales.
- − Plug-ins cost extra
Trade-specific plug-ins are sold separately. Without them you build your own assemblies and formulas.
- − Takeoff and estimating only
PlanSwift does not cover scheduling, job management, invoicing or accounting, so it runs alongside other software.
- − Overlapping products from one vendor
ConstructConnect also sells On-Screen Takeoff and ConstructConnect Takeoff, so ask sales which product fits your trade and team before you buy.
Implementation
Request a quote for your number of seats and ask which trade plug-ins, if any, fit your work, since they are sold separately. Use the free trial to run a real plan set through takeoff, assemblies and Excel export. Before bidding live work, set up your assemblies and formulas with your own material prices and labor rates. If you use QuickBooks, confirm with ConstructConnect how data moves between the two. Ask sales to compare PlanSwift with ConstructConnect Takeoff, which has published per-seat pricing.
