Glad I do\!" — 5.0/5 > **Duke** | *6 May 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is easy to get up and running, and there are various ways to solve problems or challenges with getting the data you need out of the software > > **Cons**: I don't know if I have any negative or least good experiences, most of it is just me learning the software and how I can use features in a way that outputs what I and my clients need, cleanly. So far, that has been happening and I am grateful. > > Great. I turned in my first bid and it was a winner. Very fast and very professional service on chat, huge help. The crew behind this product is right there if you need them. ----- ### "Fantastic Takeoff Software" — 5.0/5 > **Bryan** | *25 June 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: 1. Online access on any platform 2. Customer support/service is absolutely fantastic 3. The willingness of the zz team to listen and hear suggestions for features to help us perform takeoffs more efficiently. 4. AI automatic sheet numbering and naming > > **Cons**: At this time (being a young software) it lacks some abilities to customize items and templates and does not have an overlay feature, but the zz team is working on providing those options soon > > I have been a Planswift user for many years, I do feel that Planswift has an ok program but it only works with Windows and not set up for cloud use, I started looking for other options. I am so glad I found zzTakeoff, it is a young software and lacking a few customizable options but it is very user friendly and easy to use. The pricing is very reasonable and the customer service is absolutely fantastic. I am excited to see and experience what zz has in the future. I would definitely recommend this software. ----- ### "Zz takeoff review" — 5.0/5 > **Carter** | *6 May 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: That is accessible through a web browser, so there’s no need to download any other software to your desktop > > **Cons**: I wish there was some sort of software or AI that could tell you the height of a wall based on other dimension sheets, where it would tell you the square footage of a linear reading. > > Practical and easy, great for our team to access all of the takeoffs and it is easy to switch between pro and non-active user ----- ### "zzTakeoff Review" — 5.0/5 > **Brian** | *5 May 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is Planswift but better. AI features work well, and I am not a fan of AI. Switching between jobs is much faster and there is not a lag that I experienced with Planswift. > > **Cons**: I have not been using long enough to have many cons. One thing that jumps out to me is the area takeoff. It is hard to see my boundary line while tracing, whereas Planswift made it easy to see this line by making it a different color while tracing. > > My overall experience so far is outstanding. Really glad I found this company. I am looking forward to using this takeoff software on a daily basis. ----- ### "zzTakeoff Review - fire alarm/suppression contractor" — 5.0/5 > **Nicholas** | *27 June 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of uploading drawings, naming them, and getting started immediately on a takeoff. It has been a serious time saver at my company, where the standard is printing out paper and using a hilighter/pencil > > **Cons**: The default device icons (basic shapes); a takeoff with lots of different devices is hard to understand visually without a legend or guide. I would like to be able to use symbols from the symbol list or upload my own. > > Experience has been great so far, has really streamlined my estimating workflow and i have only scratched the surface of the software ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/525970/zzTakeoff) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
