Free Kreo: how far the trial goes

Kreo is a full estimating suite. That is its strength, and also why its free tier does not cover a real job.

Is it actually free?

Kreo promotes a free trial of its estimating platform, card-free to start depending on the period, then moves to paid tiers as soon as plan volume, seat count or exports get serious. That is a coherent choice: the suite covers 2D takeoff, matching against a price library and quote production, which is expensive to maintain. The thing to check before committing is export: a takeoff you cannot pull out as a spreadsheet stays locked inside the tool.

What is genuinely free

The platform trial, which lets you upload a plan and run an automatic detection.
The manual measurement tools, available during the trial to check a detection.
Documentation and online demonstrations, accessible without an account.

Where it stops

The trial runs out fast if you handle several storeys or several packages, and the part that makes the suite valuable, the price library and quote generation, sits in the higher tiers. The learning curve is real: this is not a tool you open between two site visits.

What FloorScan opens up for free

FloorScan answers a narrower, faster need: read the plan, get the quantities, export. Thirty free days across every module, no card, eight interface languages, and a manual takeoff that stays open beyond. If your quoting chain already lives in a spreadsheet or a management package, this is the missing link, not a replacement for a full suite.

Frequently asked questions

Does Kreo have a permanent free tier?

The offer has moved several times. At the time of writing, entry is through a trial and continued use goes through a subscription. Check the vendor's pricing page, this is the kind of tier that changes without notice.

Can you export the takeoff to Excel from the trial?

That is exactly the limit to test first. Upload a representative plan, go all the way through and try the export: a trial that blocks at export tells you nothing about the quality of the figures.

Kreo or FloorScan as a first takeoff tool?

If you want a full estimating chain and accept spending training time on it, Kreo holds up. If you want reliable quantities from a PDF, exported into your usual spreadsheet, FloorScan is the shorter path.
