CostLogic

What is CostLogic?

CostLogic is browser-based construction software that takes contractors from plan measurement to final invoice in one place. Upload PDF plans, measure quantities by hand or let Auto Room find rooms, then turn those numbers into estimates and invoices. A built-in assistant called Onyx drafts estimates and answers questions about your jobs.

Top Features:

• PDF takeoffs: measure linear, area, count, and angle quantities on multi-page drawings.
• Auto Room: detects rooms and areas on the drawing and turns them into layers.
• Onyx assistant: drafts estimates, edits takeoff layers, and answers questions about jobs.

Use Cases:

• Bidding: measure a plan set and produce a priced estimate in minutes.
• Billing: convert an accepted estimate into a branded PDF invoice in one click.
• Job costing: apply markup, waste, tax, and deposits so estimates reflect real margins.

Who Can Use CostLogic?

• General contractors: handle takeoffs, bids, and billing without juggling separate software tools.
• Subcontractors: measure flooring, drywall, or paint areas quickly and quote jobs faster.
• Estimators: cut hours of manual measuring with automatic scale reading and room detection.

Pricing

• Starter ($19 per seat monthly): full takeoff to invoice workflow, 25 projects, and 15 AI credits.
• Pro ($47 per seat monthly): unlimited projects and seats, 50 AI credits, and priority processing.
• Enterprise (contact sales): custom seats, pooled AI credits, 2 TB storage, and dedicated onboarding.

• One workflow: measurements flow into estimates and invoices, so nothing gets retyped.

• Browser based: runs on Mac and PC with no software installation needed.

Cons:

• No free plan: after the 14-day trial, every seat needs a paid subscription.
• AI credit caps: the Starter plan includes only 15 AI credits each month.
• Newer product: launched in 2026, so integrations beyond QuickBooks Online are limited.
