Quotr.ai Review 2026: AI Electrical Takeoff That Flows Into a Priced Bid

Updated October 13, 2026 – Tested Intelligence

Quick verdict: Quotr.ai is an AI takeoff and estimating platform whose electrical model is trained on electrical symbology, not generic shapes: it classifies receptacles by type, reads panel designations, recognises fixture classes and conduit callouts, and returns every count with a per-item confidence score. Takeoff flows into a priced estimate, a proposal and even supplier procurement in the same tool. Unusually for this category, pricing is published: Lite from $79 per seat per month, with a 7-day free trial.

What it is

Quotr is a cloud platform for subcontractors – electrical is a headline trade, alongside concrete, drywall, flooring and HVAC. Upload the plan set and the AI does the first counting pass; the estimator reviews flagged, low-confidence items instead of counting everything, then prices the job from a cost database, builds the bid and sends a client-ready proposal without re-keying quantities into another system.

Two extras separate it from takeoff-only tools. An AI assistant answers plan questions in plain language, cited back to the sheet. And Quotr runs a done-for-you desk: senior estimators return a priced estimate, which Plus partly includes through monthly service credits. The vendor’s internal benchmarking claims 95-99% accuracy on clean vector PDFs, dropping on poor scans – a vendor benchmark, not an independent test.

Takeoff, estimating, bid tracking and proposals in one workspace
AI assistant that answers plan questions, cited to the sheet
Procurement: supplier quote requests, side-by-side bids, factory-direct sourcing
Revit integration that pulls quantities from the model
Done-for-you estimating desk staffed by senior cost estimators

Pricing

Published and per-seat. Lite is $79 per seat per month for core AI takeoff – basic AI agent, on-screen takeoff tools, AI symbol and area detection, and a custom database. Plus is $299 per seat per month, adding advanced AI, the full Quotr database, project sharing, 2,000 sq ft of monthly takeoff service credits and a 10% procurement discount. Enterprise is custom. Plans are month-to-month with a 7-day free trial, per the vendor’s September 2026 pricing announcement – confirm current rates on its pricing page before budgeting.

Who it’s for

Electrical subcontractors and MEP teams whose estimators are buried in counting and who want takeoff, pricing and buyout in one place. The RL Electric case study on Quotr’s site reports takeoffs dropping from about 20 hours to 1-2 hours – a customer-reported figure, but it describes the intended win: more bids out the door with the same estimating team.

Who should skip it

Shops whose work rarely comes from plan sets – pure service and repair electricians gain nothing from symbol detection. Also think twice if your drawings are mostly low-resolution scans: the vendor itself puts accuracy well below its clean-PDF benchmark there, so the review workload grows and the speed advantage shrinks.

Pros

Electrical-specific AI, with confidence scores that direct human review
Transparent, published per-seat pricing and a free trial
No re-keying: counts flow into estimate, proposal and procurement
Done-for-you desk covers bid surges without hiring

Cons

Accuracy figures are the vendor’s own internal benchmarking
Scan-quality drawings cut accuracy and raise review time
Plus at $299/seat adds up fast across a big estimating team
Younger platform than legacy names like Accubid or ConEst

FAQ

How accurate is Quotr’s AI takeoff?

The vendor’s internal benchmarking claims 95-99% on device, fixture and panel counts from clean vector PDFs, and roughly 80-88% on low-resolution scans. Every item carries a confidence score so flagged lines get human review before bidding.

How much does Quotr.ai cost?

Lite is $79 per seat per month, Plus is $299 per seat per month, and Enterprise is custom, with a 7-day free trial – per the vendor’s published pricing.

Does Quotr handle panel schedules?

Yes – panel designations and schedules are part of its electrical model, which many takeoff tools skip. Confirm extraction on your own plan set during the trial.

Bottom line

Quotr.ai is the transparent-pricing, electrical-first challenger in AI takeoff: real symbol intelligence, an honest confidence-score workflow, and estimating and procurement attached. Run the 7-day trial on a clean vector plan set you have already counted by hand – that comparison, not any benchmark, tells you what it is worth to your shop.
