The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Openspace requires specialized 360-degree camera hardware for optimal documentation workflow; Togal.AI annual billing is mandatory at $299 per user per month, so an estimating team that ramps up and down for bid seasons pays a full year for seats it uses intermittently.
  • They diverge on capability: Openspace covers 360 photo capture, Togal.AI covers Automatic space detection.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

Openspace

  • Requires specialized 360-degree camera hardware for optimal documentation workflow
  • Custom pricing model makes it difficult to evaluate costs upfront without contacting sales
  • Field solution is newly launched and may lack mature features compared to established competitors

Togal.AI

  • Annual billing is mandatory at $299 per user per month, so an estimating team that ramps up and down for bid seasons pays a full year for seats it uses intermittently.
  • Detection is tuned to architectural floor plans and space-based quantities; civil, structural detail and MEP riser takeoff still need a conventional tool, so most firms end up paying for two.
  • Automatically generated quantities still require estimator review before they enter a bid, so the saving is in tracing time rather than in checking time, and firms that skip the check are exposed on a hard-money bid.
  • The company spun out of a single general contractor, and drawing conventions that differ from that firm's typical project types produce weaker detection until the set is cleaned up.
  • It is a takeoff tool, not an estimating system, so pricing, rate build-up and bid assembly still happen elsewhere and the Excel handoff is the seam where errors get introduced.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Openspace: How quickly does OpenSpace document construction sites?

OpenSpace documents 25,000 sq. ft. in 10 minutes using 360-degree cameras. Photos are automatically pinned to floor plans, timestamped, and ready to view in 15 minutes.

Source
Togal.AI: What does Togal.AI cost?

$299 per user per month billed annually for one or two licences. Three or more users are quoted individually.

Openspace: Does OpenSpace integrate with existing project management tools?

Yes. OpenSpace Field integrates with Procore and Autodesk Construction Cloud, allowing teams to create punch lists and observations in real-time without disrupting existing workflows.

Source
Togal.AI: Can I pay monthly?

No. The published Growth plan requires annual billing.

Openspace: What camera equipment does OpenSpace require?

OpenSpace uses 360-degree cameras for site documentation. The platform automatically processes and maps captured images without requiring specialized technical skills from on-site staff.

Source
Togal.AI: Does it replace an estimating system?

No. It produces quantities. Rates, markup and bid assembly still happen in your estimating software or a spreadsheet.

Openspace: What AI features does OpenSpace provide for construction teams?

OpenSpace includes Spatial AI for automatic issue location tagging, AI Voice Notes for hands-free data capture, and an AI-powered media library for efficient image retrieval to accelerate project workflows.

Source
Togal.AI: Who owns the drawings and takeoffs I upload?

You do, and quantities export to Excel, but check the contract for how uploaded drawing sets are retained and whether they inform model training.
