ReadMyBlueprint is built for wall trades: it counts studs, track, drywall sheets, insulation and CMU from the plan's own geometry and wall-type legend, billed per plan set with no yearly plan.
As of September 2026 Togal.AI lists Per-user plans, billed yearly; see their pricing page. ReadMyBlueprint is priced per plan set, with a monthly option.
No. It needs vector PDFs exported from CAD or Revit, because it measures the real drawing lines. On a scanned page it tells you it can't measure it instead of guessing.
ReadMyBlueprint labels every result as matched, ambiguous or needs confirmation. Matched means the measurement traces to real geometry and a spec found in your own plan set. Anything else is flagged for your decision, and an unconfirmed row stays flagged in your export instead of turning into a confident-looking number.
Every wall is still measured from the drawing's vector geometry, but without a legend to check against, most results come back as needs confirmation rather than matched. The measurement is real; the material assignment is not guessed.
Your first plan set is free. No sales call, no subscription, nothing to install.
