Bluebeam pricing at a glance
Bluebeam Revu Basics is listed around $260 per user per year (length and area measurement only), Core around $330 and Complete around $440 at the time of writing. FreeTakeoff is free.
Bluebeam-style tools in FreeTakeoff
- Calibrate from a known length or choose a standard scale per page
- Length, polylength, area, perimeter and count
- Markups list as a quantities table, grouped by colored conditions (like Bluebeam's subjects/layers)
- CSV export of totals and every individual measurement
What you give up
Revu is a full PDF editor: markups, stamps, sets, Studio sessions, volume and diameter tools. FreeTakeoff does not edit the PDF; it measures it and keeps the measurements in a separate project file.
FAQ
Can FreeTakeoff save measurements into the PDF?
Not yet. Measurements are saved in the project (in your browser and as an exportable JSON file), and quantities export to CSV.
Does it support counts?
Yes — tap each item with the Count tool; each condition keeps its own numbered markers.
Does it work offline?
Once the page has loaded you can keep working; the PDF and project are local.
