    Pros
    I like how user-friendly it is. When I do have a question about it, I love that you can easily chat with an Agent who is ALWAYS helpful.
    Love the layover feature in order to do changeorders. Also love the ability to have many screens open for the same project in order to look at details.
    I only used Stack for a couple of days, but I really liked the ease of the takeoff tools. It was very user friendly to navigate.
    Cons
    Terrible abominable customer service, unethical, dishonest thieves. Manager was the worst, she uses dishonest interrogation techniques to avoid any liability, fault and to escape offering any refund.
    There also is no undo feature so when you make a mistake on a takeoff you have to delete it and redo the entire thing. There should be a ctrl z type undo feature.
    I can't determine if its the software or the hardware of my laptop, but when I use it I find that the documents/image lags on medium to large files.

    I Recommend STACK to all the constructional firms

    Reviewed 9 months ago

    In my view, STACK is such a masterpiece and a great advancement to TAKEOFF progression. The most important feature is the lightning-fast results in a half of a time as compared to other similar kind of software. The AUTOCAD style of drawings is one of the highlights of STACK especially the linear drop function with appropriate distances. In addition, this software is very easy to understand and even a person with basic knowledge of using web-based computer software can easily work on it.

    Pros

    Multitask operation in a single window Fast to navigate and accurate in results Easy to understand and use Takeoffs made easy and speedy

    Cons

    Offline version is not available Undo command must be available in upcoming versions

    Easy to use Estimating software!

    Reviewed 2 years ago

    We are bidding more projects then ever and Stack is an important part of the workflow.

    Pros

    We love stack for our takeoffs. Cloud service is an essential service as we like to open plans from multiple workstations and conference rooms. We also have multiple estimators who frequently work from home. This software is extremely useful for all of those circumstances. The software itself is intuitive and easy to use.

    Cons

    The only thing that really bothers me is just load speed of plans.

    Worst customer service I have encountered across any platform.

    (stated in terms and conditions), they were going to make an exception, and provide me a full refund. 6 hours later, [SENSITIVE CONTENT] called me back to inform me she had called the wrong customer, and they were not going to be able to give me a refund after all.

    Pros

    The trainer was knowledgeable and polite, but software itself was clunky and over complicated. Too many options with slight variations for the same things.

    Cons

    My experience with Stack’s customer service has been the worst I have ever encountered. I am a new business owner in the construction industry in Florida. We do have a good network of clients, but it is small, and I told the salesman that I only do a handful of new builds a year and I could not justify Stack’s high yearly rate. The “demo” for stack only comes with 10 measurements and he insisted I...

    Review for STACK

    Reviewed 4 years ago

    Besides those 2 complaints it's a very functional tool that I spend probably 8-10+ hours on daily.

    Pros

    The capability to pull any plan up from anywhere as long as I have internet connection. I have used it in several impromptu meetings with clients, Gc's, and our own crew. We aren't tethered to a specific computer source. A search tool in the plans makes finding the finicky details very easy.

    Cons

    No overlay option for addendum's and no Arch tool which is just time consuming make a ton of little clicks.
