Kreo's four-tier pricing (Lite at $35/month up through a custom Enterprise plan) is unusually transparent for construction-tech, and the tiers actually mean something: AI-assisted auto-measure and auto-count are gated to Pro and above, so budget-conscious teams can start on manual tools and upgrade once they need the automation. G2 puts it at 4.5/5 across 32 reviews, Capterra at 4.4/5 across 25 — small but consistent samples, with one reviewer citing a 40% time saving versus manual takeoff. Caddie, the AI agent layered on top, goes further than a chat window: it reads drawings, breaks assemblies into materials and generates an editable scope rather than just answering questions about a file.
Reviewers flag real limits — auto-measure gets messy on complex layouts and needs manual cleanup, larger files slow the app down, and there's no offline mode. Founded in London in 2017, Kreo has raised relatively little ($1.59M across seven rounds) next to Togal.AI's $17.5M, worth factoring into how much roadmap investment to expect.
What people say
Kreo's G2 profile shows a 4.5-out-of-5 average across 32 reviews, and Capterra shows 4.4 out of 5 across 25 — modest sample sizes but a consistent picture. The most-repeated praise is straightforward: the AI-assisted takeoff is the standout feature, the interface is described as modern and easy to pick up, and support is called responsive. One reviewer specifically reported saving about 40% of their time on takeoffs compared to doing them manually, a concrete number that's rarer than generic five-star praise.
The complaints are specific too. Auto-measure can get "messy" on more complex drawings, according to reviewers, leaving users to spend real time cleaning up and organizing the automated output rather than trusting it outright. Larger files slow the app down. A few reviewers pointed out missing basics — manual size entry and shape-cutting tools — that competitors treat as table stakes, and access drops out entirely during wifi outages since there's no meaningful offline mode.
Caddie, Kreo's AI agent, is the newer pitch: rather than a chatbot bolted onto the takeoff tool, it's positioned as something that reads a drawing set "like an engineer," breaks assemblies down into individual materials, and produces a structured, editable scope — refined through follow-up chat rather than manual rework. Pre-built automations like CountFlow (object counting) and an Excel Template Builder round out the workflow. Caddie's deeper AI features sit behind the Pro tier ($175/month) and up; Lite ($35/month) and Plus ($70/month) are explicitly non-AI plans for teams that just want shared markup and measurement tools.
Founded in London in 2017 by Himanshu Gupta, Niraj Chitnis and Ishan Sukul, Kreo has raised a comparatively small $1.59M across seven rounds, with its most recent an angel round in February 2026 — thin next to well-funded rivals, though its multi-currency pricing (USD, GBP, EUR) and US-heavy customer base suggest it isn't struggling to find buyers outside the UK.
