Togal.AI Review 2026: Computer-Vision Takeoff From PDF Drawings

Updated October 13, 2026 – Tested Intelligence

Quick verdict: Togal.AI is the name most estimators meet first in AI takeoff, and the product earns it: its computer vision detects, measures and counts elements directly from PDF drawings, and – the feature estimators actually rave about – compares drawing sets to show what changed between issues. Listing prices put it at $299 per user per month billed annually, with a lower Essential tier appearing in one listing, so verify the current tier structure before budgeting.

What it is

Togal.AI is built around a single workflow: getting quantities out of drawings faster. Upload PDF drawings and its computer-vision models identify and measure the elements on them – walls, doors, fixtures, areas – producing counts and measurements an estimator can build a bid on, without manually tracing every line in a traditional takeoff tool.

Two additions widen it beyond raw takeoff. Togal.CHAT lets users search and question project documents in plain language. And in May 2026 Togal announced a native integration with estimating platform Ediphi, so quantities produced in Togal can flow into the estimate rather than being re-keyed – a sign of where AI takeoff is heading: from standalone counting tool to the front end of the estimating stack.

Key features

Computer-vision takeoff: detects, measures and counts elements directly from PDF drawings
Drawing-set comparison that highlights changes between issues – a standout for addenda and revisions
Togal.CHAT for searching and questioning project documents
Native Ediphi integration (announced May 2026) connecting takeoff quantities to the estimate
Aimed at GC, subcontractor and estimator workflows across trades
Listed at $299/user/month billed annually (multiple 2026 listings)

Pricing

Multiple 2026 listings put Togal.AI at $299 per user per month, billed annually. One listing shows a lower $199 Essential tier, so the tier structure may be changing – verify the current plans on the vendor’s pricing page before publishing a number in your budget. On the annual figure, a single seat runs about $3,588 per year, which frames the comparison against traditional takeoff licences and against service-based alternatives like Beam AI.

Who it’s for

GC and subcontractor estimating teams whose bottleneck is measuring and counting from PDF drawings, especially teams handling frequent drawing revisions where the set-comparison feature saves re-measuring entire floors.

Who should skip it

Estimators who want the takeoff done for them end-to-end should look at a service model instead. And if your drawings arrive as native BIM models rather than PDFs, a model-based estimating route may fit better than 2D computer vision.

Pros

Purpose-built computer vision for PDF drawings – measure, count and compare
Set-comparison catches changes between drawing issues, a real bid-risk reducer
Togal.CHAT adds document search on top of takeoff
Published per-user pricing (verify tier) makes budgeting straightforward

Cons

Pricing sources conflict slightly ($299 standard vs a $199 Essential tier in one listing) – verify
Produces quantities; the estimate, pricing and bid judgement still sit with your team
Accuracy still depends on drawing quality – poor PDFs mean more checking
Per-seat annual cost adds up across a large estimating department

FAQ

What does Togal.AI do?

It uses computer vision to detect, measure and count elements from PDF construction drawings for takeoff, compares drawing sets to flag changes, and includes Togal.CHAT for document search.

How much does Togal.AI cost?

2026 listings show $299 per user per month billed annually, with a $199 Essential tier appearing in one listing – check the vendor pricing page for the current tiers.

Does Togal integrate with estimating software?

Yes – a native integration with Ediphi was announced in May 2026, connecting Togal quantities to Ediphi estimates.

Bottom line

Togal is the benchmark AI takeoff tool: fast counting from PDFs, genuinely useful change comparison, and published pricing. If your estimators live in PDF drawings, it is the first demo to book – just confirm the current tier before you sign.
