Top-rated for **Likelihood to recommend**. ----- ## Overview ### Key benefits of Countfire Countfire allows you to auto-count symbols across multiple PDF drawings, drastically reducing takeoff time while increasing accuracy. Tools such as linear measurement, coverage areas and the ability to add items to drawings allow you to design your estimate as you go. Countfire includes four separate stages of checking built into the process of completing a project to help ensure accuracy. Move your takeoff into estimate in one-click, and start with an auto-populated estimate based on previous behaviour and products. Automatically see and compare changes between specifications. Helping you to revise your drawings and pricing schedules, without having to start from scratch. At the end of each project, Countfire automatically generates an Excel spreadsheet which shows project breakdowns, takeoff counts and pricing estimates. ## Quick Stats & Ratings | Metric | Rating | Detail | | **Overall** | **4.8/5** | 245 Reviews | | Ease of Use | 4.7/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Customer Support | 5.0/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Value for Money | 4.4/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Features | 4.6/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Recommendation percentage | 90% | (9/10 Likelihood to recommend) | ## About the vendor - **Company**: Countfire - **Location**: UK, UK - **Founded**: 2012 ## Commercial Context - **Pricing model**: Per User (Free Trial) - **Pricing Details**: Contact Countfire for detailed pricing information. - **Target Audience**: Self Employed, 2–10, 11–50, 51–200, 201–500, 501–1,000, 1,001–5,000, 5,001–10,000, 10,000+ - **Deployment & Platforms**: Cloud, SaaS, Web-based, Mac (Desktop), Windows (Desktop) - **Supported Languages**: English - **Available Countries**: Australia, Canada, Germany, Ireland, New Zealand, United Kingdom, United States ## Features - 2D Drawing - Activity Dashboard - Activity Tracking - Assembly Takeoff - Automatic Backup - Bid Management - Bill of Materials - Collaboration Tools - Cost Database - Cost Estimating - Customer Management - Customisable Reports - Data Import/Export - Document Management - Document Storage - Drag & Drop - Electrical Estimating - Electronic Plans - Estimating - For AEC Industry ## Integrations (1 total) - Microsoft Excel ## Support Options - Email/Help Desk - FAQs/Forum - Knowledge Base - Phone Support - 24/7 (Live rep) - Chat ## Category - [Takeoff Software](https://www.getapp.co.nz/directory/825/takeoff/software) ## Related Categories - [Takeoff Software](https://www.getapp.co.nz/directory/825/takeoff/software) - [Electrical Estimating Software](https://www.getapp.co.nz/directory/1533/electrical-estimating/software) ## Alternatives 1.

Great user interface. Reliable automated counting (if drawings are half decent\!) > > **Cons**: Copying symbol selection over to new drawings \& also reviewing later revisions of drawings does not always work as it should with no real explanation as to why apart from it being something related to the drawing > > Great, efficient, time saver\!\! ----- ### "Countfire review" — 5.0/5 > **Paul** | *19 January 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: the way it counts across drawings is great, the way you can side by side documents to assess changes in specs etc is brilliant, and how you can override drawings with new stages. > > **Cons**: the only real problems i have with it is normally if the drawing is bad i.e it has images on it and not done correctly at the designer end. > > my overall experience is very good, countfire its self is great it is just very dependant on the level of the drawing fed in to it. ----- ### "Great quality product" — 5.0/5 > **Brody** | *29 January 2024* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to select 1 symbol and count fire counts all of them. > > **Cons**: Either the loading time or the fact that sometimes it messes up the background and believes it is not background. Though I understand this is probably due to the drawings rather than countfire. ----- ### "It has made doing take off's so much easier" — 5.0/5 > **Craig** | *11 September 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It has made doing take off's so much easier. i am able to dip in and out and never lose my place. I use the manual count function marking up the drawings and this is a great way of doing take off's for me. > > **Cons**: The auto count function does not suit the drawings we receive as they are marked up with lots of other markings which confuses the icon's. you are able to amend the icon's but it is alot of work > > I have been able to start several take off's at a time and know that I will be able to pick up where i have left off easilly. This is going to make such a difference for doing quotations. ----- ### "Excellent Software Package For Taking Off and Estimating" — 5.0/5 > **Jonathan** | *26 November 2025* | Facilities Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The software provides such a quick and easy way in to taking off from a drawing and provides so much functionality whilst also giving a fast entry point for users who have never used software before. Was the biggest plus point for me along with all the customer support. > > **Cons**: Probably the estimating package but I think that was more down to me than the actual software itself which provided all the functionality that you might get with more expensive taking off and estimating packages. > > Very good. The whole entrance to the Countfire ecosystem and software was easy and provided a very short period of time from entry to actually producing take offs. In the midst of the trial period and beyond the Countfire support was there providing tips and tricks on how to maximise productivity and produce accurate results. The AI built in was also very helpful and shortened the process down. ----- Page: 1 / 11\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/107501/countfire?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/107501/countfire) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
