Estym8 Pricing — One-Pager (Sales & Calls)
Product context: Estym8 is built from scratch as an AI-first construction preconstruction platform—not a legacy takeoff stack with AI bolted on. AI runs across the product: bid-package ingestion and classification, multi-model takeoff and vision, plan intelligence, cross-file synthesis, Estee, estimate-to-submittal draft review, and optimization recommendations. Canonical framing: AI-first positioning.

One-liner
"Estym8 turns days of manual package review and takeoff into one AI-native run—single PDF or whole bid folder. One saved day pays for the month."
AI angle: "Full-package intelligence: classify the folder, project overview, takeoffs where sheets qualify, plan intelligence (conflicts, code, RFI, optimization)—not just symbol counts."
Tiers (per seat · USA)
| Tier | Price | Seats | Completed runs / mo |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entry / access | Contact / plan | — | Sign up + verify; takeoffs need active plan or approved access |
| Solo | $179/mo | 1 | 8–10 |
| Studio | $149/seat/mo (min 2) | 2–5 | 12/seat (pooled) |
| Firm | $129/seat/mo | 6–15 | 15/seat (pooled) · contact |
| Enterprise | Custom | 16+ | Custom + SLA |
- Annual: 15% off twelve months at list (e.g. Solo ~$1,826/yr vs $2,148 monthly). Same features; billed once per year. See
/pricing. - Overage: $35 per completed run above allowance (or run packs).
- Metering: One completed estimate run = one discipline bundle or single-drawing job. Folders may produce several runs; allowance is by tier—not separate PDF vs folder SKUs.
Talking points
- "We do it manually." — "Typical commercial takeoff is 24–72 hours. We deliver in 15–45 minutes—same bid-ready counts, editable, with Estee for run Q&A. One saved day pays for the month."
- "We use $30/page AI." — "We're subscription per seat—you don't fight page count. Same-day, not 3-day lead. Upload one PDF or the whole bid folder."
- "We outsource." — "Outsourced runs $150–400 per project and 1–6 days. Solo is $179/mo—you keep control in-house."
- "Trimble / enterprise tools?" — "We're folder-native plan intelligence at a fraction of enterprise per-seat stacks—premium vs point tools, not budget counting software."
- "What's the ROI?" — "At ~$82k salary, an estimator's hour is ~$40. Saving 8 hours on one estimate = $320 value. Solo is $179/mo—one estimate pays for it."
Anchors (keep in your head)
- Labor: 24–72 hrs/estimate @ $40–80/hr → $320–$2,880 per plan set.
- Outsourced: $150–400/project; packages $1,250+/mo.
- Software: Countfire $99/mo; PlanSwift ~$167/mo; Trimble-class $1,000s+/seat.
- Value: 1 day saved × $40/hr = $320 → Solo pays for itself in one estimate.
