Togal.AI: AI takeoff (areas & rooms)
The Togal.AI alternative
that finishes the estimate.
Both use AI on plans, but they stop in different places. Togal.AI is built around fast detection of areas and spaces, and you take the quantities from there. Vereyo reads the whole residential plan set and carries it all the way to a priced, trade-by-trade estimate.
100+ Los Angeles builders trust Vereyo
The short answer
- Choose Togal.AI if you mainly need fast area and room measurements, especially on commercial floor plates.
- Choose Vereyo if you're a residential builder who needs the whole estimate, priced: electrical, plumbing, roofing, tile, cabinets and more.
- Vereyo also splits multi-structure sets and reads door, window and finish schedules.
What Vereyo does that Togal.AI doesn't
Every trade, drawn on your plans
Not just areas or one trade's highlights: every wall, outlet, light, fixture, door, window, cabinet, room and roof plane Vereyo reads is painted right on the sheet, for all trades at once. You check the takeoff by looking at it, not by trusting a number. See something wrong? Fix it on the plan and the price updates.
Pricing calibrated on real local sub bids
Other tools hand you quantities and leave the prices to you. Vereyo prices every trade from assembly rates calibrated against real subcontractor bids in your market, and you can override any rate with your own.
State-of-the-art plan reading
Vereyo reads the PDF's own text layer for exact labels and dimensions, then uses modern vision AI to read the drawings: floor plans, elevations, RCPs, site plans, door, window and finish schedules. It sorts the sheets, finds each structure, and cross-checks one sheet against another.
Built by a GC with 25 years in the field
Vereyo wasn't designed by a software company guessing how builders estimate. It was built by a general contractor with 25 years of residential experience, and the trade breakdown matches how a builder actually prices a job.

Area detection is only the first step of an estimate
Room and area detection covers flooring, paint and drywall area. A residential estimate also needs device counts from the electrical plan, fixtures from plumbing, roof squares from the roof plan, openings from the door and window schedules, cabinets from the kitchen, and more.
Vereyo reads each of those sheet types with a dedicated reader per trade, paints every result on the plan, and cross-checks them against each other. The confirmed area table drives flooring and painting and the schedules drive openings. It all ends in one estimate priced from local sub bids.
