The STACK Takeoff alternative with flat-rate pricing

Digital takeoff, estimating, and proposals in one tool for a flat $79 per month for your whole company, instead of paying per user for takeoff alone.

01

Is KonBid a STACK Takeoff alternative?

Yes. KonBid is a STACK Takeoff alternative for contractors who want digital takeoff and estimating in one tool at a flat $79 per month for the entire company. STACK lists takeoff plans from about $249 per user per month billed annually, so a single estimator costs roughly three times more per year.

KonBid was built for contractors who bid dirt, stone, concrete, pipe, and site packages and want to go from PDF plans to a proposal-ready bid without stitching tools together. See how it works in the digital takeoff software and construction estimating software tours.

03

Why contractors switch from STACK

Contractors usually switch from STACK Takeoff to KonBid for three reasons: a flat company price that does not grow with every new estimator, takeoff and estimating in one connected workflow, and the ability to start bidding the same day without a sales process or paid implementation.

Flat pricing as the team grows

Adding a second or third estimator to a per-user plan multiplies the bill. KonBid charges one flat company rate, so owners, estimators, and project managers all log in without new seat costs.

Takeoff that feeds the estimate

KonBid quantities send straight into a live estimate priced from your own cost database, assemblies, and crews. Revisions sync into the bid instead of being re-exported.

Earthwork included

Cut and fill from existing and proposed grades is part of the same takeoff, not a separate product, which matters for excavation and sitework contractors.

Proposals and change orders built in

Branded PDF proposals and change orders generate from the estimate, so the document always matches the numbers.

04

When STACK may be the better fit

STACK is an established cloud takeoff platform used across many trades. If your company is already standardized on it, relies on workflows or integrations KonBid does not offer, or needs enterprise-scale training and support, staying may make sense. KonBid is built for land, site, utility, concrete, and paving contractors who want takeoff-to-bid speed at a flat price.

The fastest way to know is to try KonBid on a real job. The 14-day trial includes every feature, and if it does not fit your trade in the first day, we will tell you ourselves.
