What should you confirm behind the starting price?
Ask which plan and commitment qualify for the advertised rate, how many users are included in the proposed order and which capabilities cost extra. Record the amount due, renewal period and any implementation charges in writing. A per-user monthly label alone does not establish a cancellable monthly contract or the final team price.
How should a team compare seat costs with page costs?
Start with the number of people who need access and the PDF drawing volume that actually enters the workflow. Keep these separate columns in the comparison. A team may have many reviewers but relatively few new drawings, or the reverse. Do not multiply a page allowance by a user count without checking how the specific product accounts for usage.
What makes a useful trial?
Run a real scope through takeoff, review and export. Check a known quantity and make a deliberate correction, then inspect the downloaded schedule. Record the review effort and any missing workflow. Price becomes meaningful when the output, required collaboration and operating terms all match the work your team needs to perform.
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?
- Is $299 the final STACK price for any team?
- No. It is the advertised starting figure on the checked page. Confirm the applicable plan, commitment, number of users and current commercial terms with the vendor.
- Does per month guarantee month-to-month billing?
- No. A displayed monthly rate may have conditions. Obtain the billing schedule and cancellation terms rather than inferring them from the price label.
- Are STACK and CyanBuild allowances measured in the same unit?
- The cited STACK headline is per user; the CyanBuild public plans specify monthly PDF pages. Compare the actual scope and terms instead of treating the units as equivalent.
Where do the figures and product facts come from?
