Common questions
Both auto-measure floor plans, but they stop at different points. Togal.AI is US takeoff software: its AI detects rooms and produces quantities, which you then price somewhere else — typically Excel or separate estimating software. MyQS takes the same one-click takeoff and keeps going: every room lands in a priced, NRM-structured Bill of Quantities using a UK rate library and your own custom rates, with labour, materials, profit and VAT included. Togal gives you quantities; MyQS gives you the finished number.
No. Togal.AI produces measured quantities and exports them to Excel or third-party estimating tools — it has no built-in rate library or pricing engine. MyQS prices every measurement as you go, so the takeoff and the bill are the same workflow.
Togal.AI measures to AIA (American Institute of Architects) standards and is built for the US market. It has no UK rate content and no NRM-structured output. MyQS is UK-first: metric measurement, GIA per floor, NRM-structured BoQs and regional UK pricing across 11 regions.
Togal.AI's published plans start at $199 per user per month (roughly £150+), with its top tier sales-led, and licensing is per seat. MyQS starts at £20/month flat on Pay as you go and tops out at £149/month on Pro — with the pricing engine, UK rate library, quoting and CDM documents all included. For a small UK team the difference over a year is thousands of pounds.
Togal.AI offers a 3D view of the takeoff and Togal.CHAT, a chat assistant over plan sets — and it has strong US distribution through estimating integrations. If you estimate US commercial work in imperial units inside a Sage-style workflow, it is a strong specialist choice. If you price UK work and want the takeoff to end in a priced bill rather than a spreadsheet of quantities, MyQS does the whole job in one place.
