What does the annual price mean for your budget?
Write the annual commitment beside any monthly equivalent. For Essential, $2,000 divided by 12 is approximately $166.67, but that calculation does not create a monthly cancellation option. Core’s $3,000 divided by 12 equals $250. Check the vendor’s current checkout or written quotation for taxes, renewal terms and any additional commercial conditions.
Which features should you compare before changing tools?
Choose a representative scope and verify your required measurements, assemblies, reports and file handoffs in the actual plan you are considering. Existing training and libraries may affect the cost of switching. This page compares the structure of published pricing; it does not claim that a CyanBuild plan is functionally equivalent to a PlanSwift seat.
How do page allowances compare with a seat license?
A seat describes who can use a product under its licensing terms. A PDF page allowance describes processing capacity. They are not interchangeable units. For CyanBuild, estimate the drawings you expect to process each month and review the plan features on the pricing page. Keep labor and review time outside both software-price comparisons.
What does CyanBuild software cost?
These are CyanBuild’s published software plans as checked on October 6, 2026. Each allowance is for PDF pages per month. You review the quantities; an outsourced takeoff service is a separate purchase.
| Plan | Monthly price | PDF pages / month |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 3 |
| Starter | $29 | 30 |
| Pro | $99 | 120 |
| Enterprise | $299 | 400 |
Paid subscriptions renew according to their terms. A page allowance does not guarantee the completeness of a takeoff, and unused capacity does not turn the subscription into a per-project service. Check current features and terms before choosing a plan.
What else should you check?
- Can I buy PlanSwift Essential for $166.67 month to month?
- That figure is $2,000 divided by 12. The checked pricing page lists an annual plan; the arithmetic equivalent is not evidence of a month-to-month offer.
- How much is the published PlanSwift Core annual plan?
- The vendor page checked on October 6, 2026 lists Core at $3,000 per year for one seat. Confirm the current terms directly with PlanSwift before buying.
- Does the cheaper subscription necessarily fit my bid process?
- No. Test your required quantity types, workflows and exports, then compare total cost for the same work. Different pricing units do not establish feature parity.
Where do the figures and product facts come from?
