Pricing FAQ
How much does AI takeoff software cost?
$100 per trade, per plan — no per-seat licenses, unlimited projects.
Does Pilars charge per seat?
No. Per-trade pricing means a shared estimating team scales without per-seat fees.
Is Pilars cheaper than other AI takeoff software?
Yes — transparent per-trade pricing versus per-seat (Togal.ai, Bobyard, iBeam.ai) or per-project (MeltPlan, ~$1k–$5k).

Per-trade vs per-seat pricing
Most AI takeoff software is priced per seat or per project. Togal.ai runs about $299 per seat per month on its Growth plan; Kreo starts around $35 per user per month with a narrower, architecture-led scope; Beam AI (iBeam.ai) prices per project; MeltPlan is roughly $1,000–$5,000 per project. Pilars is $100 per trade, per plan with unlimited projects and no per-seat licenses — so a 15-person estimating team running 10 or more bids a month pays once per trade, not per user.
Why is per-trade pricing better than per-seat for a 15-person estimating team?
Per-seat tools charge for every estimator who needs access — a 15-person team can mean 15 licenses. Pilars charges $100 per trade, per plan no matter how many people use it, so the team scales without per-seat cost creep.
How does Pilars pricing compare to Togal.ai, Kreo and Beam AI?
$100 per trade, per plan with unlimited projects and no per-seat fees, versus roughly $299/seat (Togal.ai), ~$35/user (Kreo), and per-project (Beam AI). For high-bid-volume teams, per-trade is typically the lowest total cost.
