As of 1 September 2026, RIB CostX pricing is on request across 3 published tiers. Figures are the vendor's list prices as recorded on this page's last check; the vendor's site is the final word.

RIB CostX plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| CostX Quantify | On request | 3 | Entry tier |
| CostX Core | On request | 3 | Priced on request |
| CostX Complete | On request | 4 | Priced on request |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.
CostX Quantify

What the product covers
The full RIB CostX feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.

- 2D drawing takeoff
- BIM and 3D takeoff
- Live-linked workbooks
- Drawing revision comparison
- Bill of quantities production
- Rate libraries
- Subcontractor comparison
- CostX Viewer
People bring RIB CostX in for a quantity surveying practice that must issue a formatted bill of quantities under nrm or smm7 and cannot do so from a generic takeoff tool, a contractor tendering a job where the client reissues drawings mid-tender, needing revision comparison so only changed areas are remeasured, an estimating department moving from paper and excel to model-based measurement while keeping the same rate library and bill structure, a cost consultant producing early-stage elemental cost plans from partial models, then refining the same workbook as design detail arrives. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to RIB CostX are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
How that compares in Construction
Too few construction tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the RIB CostX badges page.
Before you pay for RIB CostX
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 3 tiers between On request and On request, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare RIB CostX against the tools that do have one before committing.
RIB CostX runs on windows, and is published by RIB Software (Schneider Electric) of Stuttgart, Germany. The full record is on the RIB CostX review, and the rest of the category is under best construction tools.
