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."

- 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: $3 for each $1 of processing past the included allowance. A project that costs about $100 to run does not fit inside the seat fee.
- Metering: Included processing is model cost for the calendar month. The takeoff stops when the allowance is used. The count already made is kept. Contact us to add processing and continue.
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.
