PlanSwift alternative
A Lightweight PlanSwift Alternative for Small Contractors
EasyEstimate helps contractors analyze PDF floor plans, review takeoff quantities, and create estimate drafts in a web-based workflow.
Why it matters
A simpler path from plan to proposal
PlanSwift is powerful takeoff software. EasyEstimate is designed for contractors who want a faster MVP workflow around PDF analysis and estimating.
Analyze the PDF first
Create a first takeoff draft from the plan instead of beginning every job with manual tracing.
Review and edit
Keep human control over scale, boundaries, rooms, and openings before pricing.
Generate estimate drafts
Turn approved quantities into line items you can edit for the customer.
Works from the browser
Use the web app for PDF takeoffs, project organization, and estimates.
Workflow
A reviewed takeoff before a customer quote.
The goal is not to blindly trust the first draft. The goal is to get to the review step faster.
Upload the PDF
Start from the floor plan file already attached to the bid request.
Analyze the page
Create an editable takeoff draft with rooms, walls, doors, and windows.
Check the measurements
Set scale, review boundaries, and fix anything the plan requires.
Generate the estimate
Convert approved quantities into editable estimate line items.

Questions
What contractors ask before testing it.
- Does EasyEstimate replace estimator review for PlanSwift alternatives?
- No. EasyEstimate is designed to create a faster takeoff draft and estimate starting point. You should review measurements, scope, and pricing before sending a proposal.
- Can I edit the takeoff after the PDF is analyzed?
- Yes. The workflow is built around review and correction. You can adjust boundaries, rooms, scale, and estimate line items.
- Does this work only on iPhone?
- No. PDF takeoff and estimating work in the web app. Supported iPhones and iPads add LiDAR room scanning when you are on site.
- Do I need a credit card to create an account?
- No. The current signup flow lets you create an account and start testing the workflow without adding a credit card.
