Procore vs Easy Takeoffs
Procore and Easy Takeoffs are different kinds of tool, and that difference is the whole point. Procore is an enterprise construction management platform where takeoffs are one small piece of a much larger system. Easy Takeoffs does the takeoff job on its own, in any browser on Mac or Windows, with nothing to roll out and nothing to configure. Many contractors run both, and this is an honest look at when each one makes sense.
Why Contractors Switch from Procore
If you are searching for a Procore alternative for takeoffs, you may be a subcontractor or small to mid-size contractor who does not need a full construction management platform. Procore does not publish a fixed takeoff price. Its public pricing page requires a custom quote based on the products selected and annual construction volume, with unlimited users and collaborators included.
Easy Takeoffs is a focused, low-cost construction takeoff tool that measures construction drawings and turns measurements into material quantities. It is not a Procore replacement for project management, RFIs, or financials. It is a self-serve alternative to the takeoff and measurement portion, with a published price of $39 a month or $399 a year. Both products run on Mac in a browser, and many contractors can use a focused takeoff tool alongside Procore or another project management platform.
What Is Procore?
Procore is a publicly traded (NYSE: PCOR) construction management platform used by construction companies worldwide. It covers the project lifecycle across preconstruction, project management, financials, and field management. Procore acquired Esticom in 2020 and integrated takeoff and estimating capabilities into its preconstruction offering. It is a broad platform sold by custom quote, not a self-serve takeoff-only product.
What Is Easy Takeoffs?
Easy Takeoffs is a simple, focused, low-cost construction takeoff tool that measures construction drawings and turns measurements into material quantities. There are no modules to configure or sales process to complete. It runs in any browser on Mac, Windows, ChromeOS, Linux, and iPad with Apple Pencil. The tool includes linear, polyline, polygon, rectangle, circle, freehand, count, and angle measurements with true curved segments, automatic scale detection, snap to drawing geometry, color-coded groups with sub-groups, and live group totals. Search any sheet for text, scanned pages included, or box one symbol and review or uncheck confirmed results before adding the checked set as counts. Apply any of the 43 built-in material templates to turn measurements into drywall sheets, paint gallons, concrete cubic yards, or any custom formula you write. Export to annotated PDF and CSV with material totals included. Many contractors use Easy Takeoffs alongside Procore for their takeoff measurements.
What Procore Users Run Into
The most common reasons contractors look for a Procore alternative, drawn from verified reviews on G2, Capterra, Trustpilot, and Reddit.
Massive overkill if you just need takeoffs
Procore covers RFIs, submittals, scheduling, financials, daily logs, quality management, safety, BIM coordination, and more. If your actual need is "measure this PDF and export the quantities," you are buying a construction ERP to use a tape measure. The takeoff module is one small piece buried inside a platform with dozens of modules, each with its own learning curve and configuration requirements.
No public self-serve price
Procore does not publish a fixed subscription price that a contractor can buy directly. Its pricing page asks companies to choose products, provide annual construction volume, and request a custom quote. Unlimited users, data, and support are included, which is valuable for company-wide adoption, but a subcontractor cannot compare a public takeoff-only price before entering the sales process.
“We looked at Procore but the pricing was designed for companies 10x our size.”
Reddit r/Construction
Broader setup than a standalone takeoff tool
Procore spans preconstruction, project management, financials, and field workflows. A company adopting that scope has products, permissions, integrations, and operating processes to configure. A standalone takeoff account has a much narrower setup boundary. That difference matters when the immediate need is simply to measure a plan set and export quantities.
“I hated Procore at first. It seemed overly complicated for no reason.”
Capterra Review
Locked into the ecosystem at renewal
Once your company is on Procore, your RFIs, submittals, photos, daily logs, drawings, and project history all live inside the platform. This creates switching costs that give Procore leverage at renewal time. Users report annual price increases of 10% to 14%, with some companies seeing 150% increases with no negotiation option. For takeoffs specifically, there is no reason to accept this platform dependency.

Published Self-Serve Pricing vs a Custom Quote
Procore's public pricing page does not publish a fixed dollar amount. Pricing depends on the products selected and annual construction volume, and the quote includes unlimited users, unlimited data, and support. Easy Takeoffs publishes one self-serve price: $39 a month or $399 a year for each individual account. An exact savings claim would be dishonest without a Procore quote. The practical difference is purchase model and scope: a focused takeoff subscription you can start directly versus a company-wide platform configured through sales.

What Procore Does Better
Procore's strength is the complete construction management platform, not takeoffs in isolation. It unifies preconstruction, project management, financials, and field management in one system, with a large integration marketplace and unlimited users included in its public pricing model. If your company needs a shared platform for everything from RFIs and submittals to daily logs and financial reporting, Procore offers scope Easy Takeoffs does not. Easy Takeoffs is a focused tool for measuring construction drawings and producing material quantities. Many contractors can use a focused takeoff tool alongside Procore for project management.
Who Easy Takeoffs Is Built For
Easy Takeoffs is built for subcontractors and small to mid-size contractors who need takeoffs without buying an enterprise platform. Your GC might use Procore for project management, but you do not need (or want to pay for) the full platform just to measure plans. You are a specialty contractor, a small GC, or an independent estimator who bids on plans and needs a fast, accurate way to get quantities on whatever device you happen to own, including a MacBook. Upload a PDF, set your scale, measure, export. No implementation project, no training program, no enterprise contract. Just the tool you need at a price that fits your business.
How to Switch from Procore
If you have been using Procore's Estimating module for takeoffs, switching the measurement portion to Easy Takeoffs is simple because Easy Takeoffs is a separate, independent tool that opens in the same browser on the same Mac or Windows machine you already use for Procore. Upload your plan PDFs, set your scale, and start measuring. You can continue using Procore for project management, submittals, RFIs, and everything else while doing your takeoffs in Easy Takeoffs for far less. Many contractors already pair specialized tools with Procore this way. Easy Takeoffs exports to CSV and annotated PDF, which can be submitted through Procore or any other platform your GC requires.
