Countfire Pricing

Take offs and PDF comparison are good providing the pdf is in the right format

Expensive per user, no multi user plans so £200 a user seems high

Thanks Joe for the review! Thrilled to hear you find take offs and the PDF comparison helpful. We have a tiered pricing structure which offers a sliding discount for additional users. We also offer a 10% discount on yearly subscriptions.

Pure ease of use, does exactly what i need it to do and outputs easily legible tables.

Nothing, does exactly what i need with a good price!

Does what it says on the tin – love it! Thanks Chris. Awesome that you're finding Countfire easy to use and it does exactly what you need. Spot on – Countfire produces a consistent set of outputs for every project. Great to hear that you don't have any cons! If you do ever have any feedback on features you'd like to see, we'd love to hear from you – just use the orange button in the bottom right hand corner of the app.

CountFire being a cloud based service gets you up and running quickly. CountFire Sales is there to get you started and introduce you to Technical Assistance and Training. The On-Line Help function is integral to the CountFire Platform allowing you to be able to function seamlessly as you work on projects. I can count drawing elements or make extremely accurate measurements in one tenth of the time I did manually without the cost of drawing reproduction. The Final Reports are perfectly formatted in MSExcel and ready for Bill of Material development.

I am still looking for a Con. I thought that since CountFire is in Great Britain that communications might be hampered by five, (5) time zones, but this was not the case. CountFire was there 24X7 to solve my self-inflicted start-up issues.

Its a lot more intelligent than other software's

The cost is slightly higher than we would like to pay.

Very efficient, software very easy to use, great support team, would not want to be without it.

Having correct symbols for design purposes, this is in the pipeline.

I’m impressed, countfire allowed me to do a take off in 28mins... the other guy in the office actually had the take off and got out his fluro’s and a pad...he had allowed himself 2 days... It’s brilliant, simple and easy to use. The wholesalers love me because the take off is easy to read!

The cost is high, but the amount of time I saved means it’s worth the large cost!!

The new feature to overlay drawings to save time taking off similar drawings more than once.

Can be long processing some complicated drawings.

The time it saves, counting and measuring drawings. Being able to separate PDF documents into individual pages.

There is not much to dislike about Countfire. If anything, cost of having additional users added.

Ease of use even for my limited I.T skills. Saves so much time. Compiles the take off for you. The search criteria can be saved and used again this saves even more time. Value for money due to time saved. Customer service is excellent.

None! Honestly I can’t think of any cons.

Speed, adaptability to pricing schedules/demarcations and the fact Countfire themselves are open to taking on ideas for user interface improvements to make take off easier

When drawings take ages to load up

The automatic counting of symbols makes this software an absolute life saver. Easy to use, easy to navigate, and easy to verify your results.

Its easy to use, that however means that its not very customizable, while for most people thats great, more custom options for those that want it would be good.

Rapid counting ability and accuracy - across multiple drawings!

Yet to get feedback on my trial questions. Estimating (cost) and assemblies is a must.

Speed, Accuracy, environmental benefits, and easy to follow hints and tips.

Sometimes the information we are provided with by our customers is not in the correct format for Countfire to work at its full potential, this is not a fault of Countfire but a problem with the information we are working with

Every feature incorporated into this product is top notch. It's speedy, efficient, and accurate. Multiple avenues to check your work and be assured in your counts. Work multiple disciplines within one job....there's just so much this program can do!

There's really not much to dislike with this program, but if I had to voice a small nit pick it would be that I would like to see more color options for device designation. Often we deal with large quantities of different devices. Like a said, I'm just nitpicking.

Easy to use and very intuitive. Very Flexible.

Linked Estimating Package would be great.

Very quick and easy to upload drawings, the scale feature for measuring lengths of runs is very accurate, no more scale rule and no more wasting paper printing drawings. Once a floor has been set up the way it automatically applies this to other drawings is brilliant.

Not being able to make notes on a page, symbols could be used as a basic key for Design and Build projects

Easy to use for take offs and counts same symbols over multiple drawings in one go.

Symbol recognition doesn't work properly sometimes.

Thanks for the review Rytis. Great that you're finding Countfire easy to use. Sometimes when the drawings are created the symbols can look the same but have been drawn slightly differently – Countfire doesn't automatically include slightly different symbols when you make your selection to aid the accuracy of your takeoff. All you need to do is make an additional selection of the different symbol and Countfire will automatically search for matches across all of your drawings for that selection too.

The auto count feature when it works does save a lot of time. The customer support and training is excellent.

The cost is way too much. not all drawings work with the auto count feature.

Features seem easy to use. We like the way it downloads onto a excel spreadsheet. I t is then easy to send to suppliers for pricing.

I think just picking up the correct process on how to take off drawings is the hardest thing. Once this is in place I believe the program is very user friendly.

It's very easy to use and guidance is available very quickly.

Unable to move plans between disciplines

Thanks for the great review Nick! Being able to move your drawings between disciplines would definitely be useful – we have a feature request for it. You can add your vote by searching 'Move drawings / pages between disciplines' at the 'Give feedback' section on our orange support button in-app.

I have better things to do than manually markup drawings, It's probably shortened the process by about 75-80%. I've found other uses for its capabilities, so it's, even more, cost effective than just its use of tender bids.

Having to pay.

I had been meaning to try Countfire for some time now and I am glad I finally did so. It's extremely easy to use and the customer support is second to none, they assist you all the way, to a point that if you ask for a feature that they don't have yet, they add it to their suggestion box with your vote. So I'm assuming that once they have enough votes for a certain feature request they will develop it.

not much to dislike really, my only suggestion would be a slightly more affordable subscription cost for users that don't have lots of projects to do each month.

No more printing plans, automated counting and the manual measuring. Easy to use.
