The short answer
Togal.AI is a cloud takeoff and estimating tool for 2D plans, from a company based in Miami, Florida. CAIS is a construction AI platform built for Saudi and regional contractors, centred on BOQ pricing, with experimental QTO, planning and contract review. Which fits better depends on whether your work starts with drawings to measure or with a BOQ to price.
Side by side
As each company describes its product.
| Togal.AI (as published) | CAIS | |
|---|---|---|
| Main job | AI takeoff from plans, with assemblies that turn takeoffs into material, labour and equipment quantities | BOQ pricing with rate build-ups; experimental QTO; planning; contract review |
| Inputs | PDF and image formats (JPEG, PNG, TIFF) | A BOQ in Excel or CSV; drawings in PDF, IFC and DXF for experimental QTO |
| Outputs | Takeoff data exported to Excel | Excel workbooks; XER files for Primavera P6 from planning |
| Pricing inside the tool | States that pricing, markup, overhead and tax stay in your own estimating process | Unit-rate build-ups with stated assumptions, for you to review |
| Languages | English; Arabic is not mentioned | Arabic and English |
| Published price | Growth plan: $299 per user per month, billed yearly; Business plan by quote | Free plan; Pro at $49 a month or $470 a year; MAX plans for larger teams |
When Togal.AI may suit you better
If your estimators measure 2D plans every day and price in their own estimating system, a dedicated takeoff tool is built around exactly that loop.
When CAIS may suit you better
If your tenders arrive as a BOQ to price, if your team works in Arabic, or if you want pricing, planning and contract review in one place with every output open to review, CAIS is built for that. Its QTO is experimental, so plan to check its quantities.
Compare them on your own work
A short trial says more than any comparison page.
- Run the same small drawing set or BOQ through each tool.
- Measure the time to a reviewed result, not to a first draft.
- Check how each handles your measurement standard and your language.
