Why choose Exayard
AI Automation vs Manual Tools
Exayard uses AI to automatically detect, count, and measure elements on your plans. Autodesk Takeoff provides manual measurement tools that require you to draw every area and click every item.
Standalone vs Ecosystem Lock-In
Exayard works on its own—sign up and start taking off immediately. Autodesk Takeoff requires an Autodesk Construction Cloud subscription, which means committing to their broader ecosystem.
Simpler Pricing
Exayard is straightforward at $99/month. Autodesk's pricing varies by bundle and seat count, often requiring a sales conversation to understand the true cost.
Faster for 2D Plan Takeoffs
For teams working primarily with 2D construction plans (the majority of takeoff work), Exayard's AI-first approach delivers results significantly faster than Autodesk's manual measurement tools.
