Free takeoff software: actually free, honestly temporary
SimplyCount is free during early access: full-featured symbol takeoff on your own plans, no credit card to start. Not free forever, and we say so up front.
What free includes
Everything. The same software as the published benchmark (53 symbols, 21 pages, 11 minutes including review, on a laptop CPU): self-learning symbol recognition from your own legend, whole-plan-set counting on your own machine, per-symbol review and sign-off, and draft exports. No page caps, no symbol caps, no watermarks.
What happens when the free period ends
You get clear advance notice, never a surprise cutoff. To keep counting you subscribe to the Pro plan (pricing is published before checkout opens, so you always see the price before you pay). Nothing you saved disappears: counts stay viewable and exportable, and your symbol library is yours.
