Frequently asked questions
Yes. Free Forever is free, with no credit card and no expiry date.
It covers 3 projects a month of up to 300 pages each, area, linear, and count takeoff, Excel-style estimating and export, document text search, your own assemblies and templates, and 3 editors with unlimited viewers on every project.
We intend to keep the Free Forever plan. If that ever changes, you get at least 90 days' notice, and you can export any project to Excel at any time, so your work is never locked in.
Free Forever is manual: you measure, estimate, and export to Excel, on 3 projects a month.
Plankore Pro adds AI Floorplan Takeoff for rooms, walls, windows, and doors, AI Navigation for sheet names, scale, and references, the Smart tools, snapping and trace-free takeoff, unlimited projects, and priority support. Sample assemblies and templates are coming soon.
Yes. Every new account starts with 10 days of Plankore Pro, no credit card required. You are still capped at 3 projects during the trial. When the trial ends you land on Free Forever unless you subscribe.
No. Plankore Pro can be billed monthly and cancelled anytime. Annual billing is optional and saves 16%.
Yes. Enterprise is built around your team: custom AI volume, custom AI workflows for your projects, your own cost database and estimate templates, onboarding and training, and dedicated support with a direct line to the founders. Pricing is custom, so book a call from the pricing page and we'll scope it with you.
AI Takeoff is the AI inside Plankore Pro. It names sheets, finds the scale, links sheet references, and detects rooms, walls, windows, and doors, so your first pass is drafted rather than traced.
It speeds up that first pass, but it is not a replacement for estimator judgement. Plankore shows every AI-generated quantity alongside the source sheet, formula, and assumptions, so you can verify or correct it before the number reaches your bid.
Yes. Plankore runs in any modern browser on Mac, Windows, or Chromebook, with nothing to install. Most established takeoff tools are Windows-only desktop software, so Mac users often have no option other than a virtual machine.
Yes. Invite teammates by email and give each one of two roles. Editors draw, rename, price, upload, and export. Viewers can look, follow along, and export, but not change anything.
Editors can work in the same project at the same time, so two people can split a plan set instead of taking turns.
Both Free Forever and Plankore Pro include 3 editors and unlimited viewers on every project.
Yes. Export your estimates to Excel and keep using your own bid format and cost templates. Export works on every plan, including Free Forever.
Both. Free Forever and Plankore Pro work on any plan set, commercial or residential. AI Bid, the separate bid-drafting product, is residential only.
