Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

iAuditor by SafetyCulture

  • The free plan is limited to 10 users and 5 active templates
  • AI credits are metered per seat per month, at 300 on free, 500 on Premium and 800 on Enterprise
  • Unlimited templates and advanced analytics require Premium at $24 per seat per month billed annually
  • Paying monthly rather than annually raises Premium from $24 to $29 per seat
  • The 99.9% uptime commitment and 24/7 support are Enterprise only

On-Screen Takeoff

  • Perpetual licensing is no longer offered on current releases, so long-standing users who paid once now face a recurring annual cost they never budgeted, and staying on an old version means no support for newer PDF formats
  • ConstructConnect does not publish a price, and the product is increasingly sold inside a bundle with lead data and estimating, so buyers who want takeoff alone often find the quote priced around a package they do not need
  • It is Windows desktop only, with no macOS version and no meaningful browser or tablet workflow, which rules it out for firms standardised on Apple hardware
  • The interface has changed little in years and estimators coming from browser-based tools find the condition setup and layer management slow to learn, so onboarding a new estimator takes longer than the software cost would suggest
  • ConstructConnect sells lead data, takeoff and estimating as a portfolio and has consolidated several acquired products, so a buyer committing to On-Screen Takeoff should ask directly where it sits against the newer cloud takeoff products in the same portfolio

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

iAuditor by SafetyCulture: Is Mitti (formerly iAuditor) free?

Mitti offers a free tier to start inspections and manage issues. Pricing for premium or team plans is not displayed on the vendor website.

Source
On-Screen Takeoff: Can I still buy a perpetual licence?

No. Current releases are annual subscription. Older perpetual licences continue to run but do not receive updates.

iAuditor by SafetyCulture: What is the cost of Mitti for small teams?

Mitti does not publish per-user or team-based pricing on its website. The vendor directs users to book a demo to discuss plans and costs.

Source
On-Screen Takeoff: Is it sold separately from Quick Bid?

It can be, but ConstructConnect increasingly quotes it as part of a takeoff and estimating package. Ask explicitly for standalone pricing if that is what you want.

iAuditor by SafetyCulture: Does Mitti charge per inspection or per user?

Mitti's pricing model (per-user, per-inspection, or flat-rate) is not disclosed on the vendor site. Users must request pricing information directly from sales.

Source
On-Screen Takeoff: Does it run on a Mac?

Not natively. It is a Windows application and Mac users run it under virtualisation, which is unsupported in practice for large drawing sets.

On-Screen Takeoff: Will it read a scanned drawing?

Yes, but measurement accuracy on a scanned raster set depends entirely on the scan quality and on setting scale from a verified dimension.
