Quoting.ai vs Togal.AI
Verified against the live products on 2026-07-05.
Togal.AI is the general-purpose AI takeoff tool: its Togal Button auto-detects spaces on floor plans across roughly 10 trades, with image and text search to count anything and a well-reviewed product (4.8 stars on G2 across about 57 reviews). Quoting.ai Takeoff covers two trades today, Division 8 doors and windows, but reads the schedule, the plan symbols, and the legend and reconciles all three. Togal counts tags. 4 Eyes catches the opening that is missing from one source entirely, which is the error that costs installed money. Pick by trade breadth versus omission depth.
Pick Quoting.ai when
- Doors and windows are where your margin lives, and a missed opening is a change order you eat: schedule-vs-plan-vs-legend reconciliation is the core feature, not a search trick.
- You need schedule attributes carried into the takeoff: marks, types, hardware groups, apartment-based numbering like 1A01 for submittals.
- You want the takeoff to become a priced quote and an ERP document, not an Excel export someone retypes.
- You work in the browser on dense multifamily sets and do not want a cloud queue between you and the count.
Pick Togal.AI when
- You are a GC or multi-trade estimating team that needs one takeoff tool across many trades today, especially interior and finish trades where floor-plan space auto-detection shines.
- You value a mature, widely reviewed product with drawing-set compare, plan chat, and real-time collaboration.
- Your Division 8 need is a count, not a schedule-reconciled quote, and Excel output fits your workflow.
Counting versus catching: what is the actual difference?
Togal counts door and window tags with image and text search, and does it fast. Nothing on their glazing or openings pages describes reading the door schedule and cross-checking it against plan symbols and the legend. That reconciliation is exactly where Quoting.ai's 4 Eyes lives: three independent counts, every disagreement listed with sheet references for a human call.
A tool that counts what is on the page makes you faster. A tool that catches what is missing from the page saves the money. Both matter; they are different products.
Where is each tool honestly limited?
Quoting.ai Takeoff is live for doors and windows only, with walls in progress. If you bid ten trades, Togal covers ground we do not, and their $299 per user per month Growth plan is published and self-serve. Togal's takeoff ends at quantities exported to Excel; there is no path to a priced, ERP-written quote, and no omission detection. Choose the failure mode you can afford.
Common questions
Is Togal.AI a good product?
By the public record, yes: 4.8 stars across about 57 G2 reviews, an AGC innovation award, and real multifamily features like repeating-unit takeoff. This comparison is about fit, not quality.
Can I use both?
Some estimators will: Togal for broad interior trades, Quoting.ai for Division 8 scopes where the schedule cross-check pays for itself. Upload a set on a live trade and compare the outputs on your own job.
Settle it with your own work
Demos flatter every tool. Your real RFQs and your real plan sets are the honest benchmark.
