Support is knowledgeable and not a call center. > > **Cons**: Jacked the price up 50% after the first year. Then when we decided to go to another program and cancel our subscription Stack locked us out of all our estimates and held it for ransom. Very un-ethical. Not a reputable company. > > Very poor. Not a trustworthy company. Very crooked. ----- ### "Stack construction software- a users aspect" — 5.0/5 > **Alfiya** | *19 August 2024* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: They have this 7 days free trial version, you can go and work on a maximum of 2 concurrent projects. They have an estimation and takeoff system. So you can go through before taking the paid version > > **Cons**: They features and functionalities in free version are pretty less and we can’t actually get a feel of what actually they have in store for us > > I had used this software for estimation of construction work for my residence. They have this 3D modelling feature for the look of end product with some detailings. The costing estimates are slightly high ----- ### "Simple estimating software. Exactly what I needed\!" — 5.0/5 > **Matt** | *30 May 2018* | Building Materials | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This is an easy to use service to estimate the square footages and lineal footages I need to deliver material. Not overwhelming at all. > > **Cons**: Sometimes it can be frustrating using a web service instead of desktop software. No internet = no productivity. > > Could not do my job without it. ----- ### "Not a fan." — 1.0/5 > **Gary** | *27 October 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Cloud basing makes protecting data easy and safe. Updates and improvements seem to be automatic so there is no need to install anything. > > **Cons**: Importing material prices is VERY cumbersome. You have to manually import prices which is time consuming. Every item has to be manually entered and often the user has to convert vendor pricing to user pricing, again very time consuming. > > I've been working with this software for three + weeks and have yet to complete an estimate. I am very frustrated. ----- ### "Pricing and poor ethics" — 1.0/5 > **Dovonna** | *22 October 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Accuracy with measurements was always on point, easy to upload plans, lots of options for all trades > > **Cons**: Cost and Poor Management and Support. Even after reaching out multiple times for assistance we have gotten nowhere. Not much integrity at this company. > > Our team had an overall positive experience while using the product; however, when the renewal came around this year (nearly $7,000) they auto drafted for the entire year. I reached out because we have transitioned to a new CRM and will not be using their platform, I requested a refund but they refused. We’ve even reached out to the manager who hasn’t responded. I think it’s really crappy to take that amount of money from a small business knowing they’re not going to use the system. I understand there is a contract verbiage to notify 30 days in advance (which I failed to do) but to charge us fully for the entire year is unreasonable in my opinion. For that reason I wouldn’t recommend them. ----- Page: 1 / 55\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/147181/stack-takeoff?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/147181/stack-takeoff) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
