Togal.AI vs Aginera
Togal is built to measure rooms, walls and areas fast. Aginera is built to read MEP drawings — schedules, keynotes, device counts and pipe and duct runs.
Togal.AI is strong where takeoff is geometry: floor areas, wall lengths, finishes. Its published case studies are general contractors, drywall, painting and flooring firms. MEP takeoff is a different job — the quantities live in equipment schedules, keynotes, symbols and riser diagrams, and much of what is drawn on a renovation is existing. That is what Aginera reads.

Choose Togal.AI if…
- • Your takeoff is mostly areas and lengths: drywall, paint, flooring, concrete, GC budgeting
- • You need fast room-by-room area quantities on architectural plans
- • Your team wants a measuring tool more than a reading tool
Choose Aginera if…
- • You estimate electrical, HVAC, plumbing or fire protection
- • Your quantities live in schedules, keynotes and symbol legends
- • You bid renovations where new work must be separated from existing
- • You price in Accubid, McCormick, ConEst or Procore

The fairest test is a set you have already estimated. Run it through both and line the output up against your own takeoff. We will do ours with you.
Questions
Is Togal good for MEP takeoff?
Togal lists electrical in its trades menu, but its published case studies are general contractors, drywall, painting and flooring. For MEP, test any tool on a set where the scope is in schedules and keynotes, not just on the plan geometry.
How much does Togal.AI cost?
Togal publishes Growth at $299 per user per month billed yearly, and a custom-priced Business plan for four or more users. Aginera Professional is $299 per user per month billed monthly, with an annual enterprise licence for teams.
Can we use both?
Yes. GCs often use an area tool for architectural quantities and send MEP scope to a trade-specific tool. Aginera exports to Excel and the major estimating systems, so the two outputs can sit in one estimate.
