    Considered Both Products
    Bluebeam, Inc.
    Chose Bluebeam
    Bluebeam Revu is easy to use and a lot cheaper compared to other products available in the market.

    Chose PlanSwift, by ConstructConnect
    CostX was far too expensive. Vue360 doesn't have the functionality. Bluebeam Revu wasn't very intuitive and was all too hard to get it do what I needed. It was good for document control, but not very good for estimating.

    Chose PlanSwift, by ConstructConnect
    Bluebeam is amazing and can accomplish any take-off needs, but you will spend much more time creating your conditions and take off items. It is not as user-friendly as PlanSwift.

    Similar product outcome but as I am new to Bluebeam, I have found Planswift to be more user friendly.
