## Reviews

### "Planswift Take Off Software" — 4.0/5

> **Ryan** | *March 24, 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ease of use of the take off features. They just made sense.
> 
> **Cons**: To actually put numbers to the take offs inside of planswift and do formulas etc was really not user friendly and hard to use.
> 
> Used the product for years, recently just moved our commercial estimators to something a bit more complete, but still have Planswift in use for our residential estimators and ops teams for take offs. Its really good if you are ok with building your estimate outside of the platform. Take off is super easy to learn and use.

### "Great product in the beginning" — 5.0/5

> **Joseph** | *July 18, 2024* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: it is very easy to use and is user friendly. I have worked with this product for 10 years.
> 
> **Cons**: Every time they get sold I have to re buy their product. I had gotten a call last month that I have to hand over a large sum of money or my plan swift "may not work one day" if I don't hand them over more money, when it doesn't work it will cost me a lot more than what they are extorting out of me now. I purchased to program years ago about 13. I am sick of being fleeced.
> 
> Great when the company started years ago but as of now I am done with them, they are just being sold to low grade scam comanies to get more money out of you then they will be sold again. Cant do it anymore

### "Plan Swift - Quick Efficient and Powerful" — 4.0/5

> **Jesse** | *August 15, 2018* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Super fast set up.  Decent add on's and support. Exports to Excel. Best value for money.  Free 14 day trial so you can really get a feel for it.
> 
> **Cons**: Modifying items or creating new items is quite involved.  I tend to use my own costing assemblies and use this for take off.

-----

### "Great application" — 4.0/5

> **Matt** | *February 9, 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Plan swift is a quick and easy way to store plans, mark them up and distribute to the construction team and clients.
> 
> **Cons**: Plan swift is very easy to use and has many features, but if you have a large team, sometimes that can get a little pricey.
> 
> Planswift helps keep project documents organized.  Mark-ups can be made on the spot and distributed accordingly.  Good program overall.

### "Bait & switch scammers" — 1.0/5

> **Israel** | *April 10, 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I think Planswift is a great software. It is customizable and effective.
> 
> **Cons**: Customer service. 100%. I paid thousands of dollars back in 2017 to buy perpetual licenses for the software. They told me that these are lifetime licenses. However, in 2025, they told me that they no longer support perpetual licenses and that we would have to pay an annual subscription fee to "support" our license. We worked with our sales rep and worked to pay for the annual fee for one seat, but not the other. They told us that this is perfectly fine. A few weeks later, they deactivated our seat without telling us, saying that it wasn't allowed.
> 
> Great for years, until they got too greedy and stopped caring out their customers.
