Free Onaya: what exists without a licence
A management ERP, not takeoff software. It organises the company, it does not read your drawings.
Is it actually free?
Onaya is sold through a classic sales journey, with configuration and support, and publishes no free version. That is logical for an ERP: it touches quoting, purchasing, payroll and site monitoring, so it gets deployed, not downloaded. Takeoff, though, is not its trade: quantities go into the system, they do not come out of it.
What is genuinely free
- The free sales demo, on the scope you care about.
- The needs assessment before the quote, which often amounts to a quick audit of your organisation.
- Public content on construction business management, independent of the software.
Where it stops
No free access, a deployment measured in weeks, and above all a scope that begins after the takeoff. So you still need an upstream tool to produce the quantities that will feed the quotes.
What FloorScan opens up for free
FloorScan sits exactly in that upstream place: read the PDF, areas and runs, Excel export ready to enter the ERP. Thirty free days across every module, no appointment. The two do not replace each other, they follow each other in the chain.
Free and immediate, no account: the matching calculator.
Construction VATFrequently asked questions
Does Onaya have a free version or a trial?
No free version is published. The path goes through a demo and a costed deployment project.
Does Onaya do takeoff from drawings?
That is not its main function. An ERP handles quoting, ordering and monitoring; the quantities have to be supplied to it.
How do you avoid double entry between takeoff and ERP?
By producing the takeoff as a workbook structured per package, with fixed columns, that the ERP can import. That is the format FloorScan produces by default.
Offers and free tiers taken from public sources at the time of writing. A vendor can change them without notice: check their site before deciding.
