Contractor Co-Pilot vs STACK

Different sizes, different needs

STACK is a cloud-based preconstruction platform. Contractor Co-Pilot is an business platform built for specialty contractors with 3-25 person crews. Both are good tools — for different businesses.

What STACK Does Well

STACK is a strong preconstruction platform

STACK offers cloud-based takeoffs and estimating, with workflows designed for teams that handle high project volumes and coordinate across multiple estimators.

Cloud-based takeoffs

Full on-screen takeoff tools in the browser — no desktop install. Measure areas, linear, and counts directly on plans.

Team collaboration

Built for multiple estimators working on the same project. Good workflows for plan distribution and bid coordination.

Enterprise integrations

Connects with Procore, PlanGrid, and other enterprise construction platforms that larger GCs and subs already use.

STACK is a strong choice if you are:

Preconstruction teams with 5+ estimators
Contractors doing $20M+ in annual revenue
Teams that need Procore or PlanGrid integration
Organizations with dedicated estimating departments

Where Contractor Co-Pilot Fits

We built for the owner-operator and small team

Most specialty contractors don't have a preconstruction department. The owner does the estimating, the office manager sends invoices, and everyone wears three hats. CC is built for that reality.

Affordable from day one

Start at $29/mo, not $500+. No enterprise sales cycle, no minimum seats. Sign up and start working in 15 minutes.

Beyond takeoffs and estimating

CC covers estimates, proposals, projects, budgets, invoices, cost databases, and an AI assistant — the full business workflow, not just preconstruction.

Trade-specific from the start

Pre-loaded cost databases for 8 trades. You don't start from a blank screen — CC knows your materials, labor rates, and equipment.

Contractor Co-Pilot is built for contractors who:

Specialty contractors with 3-25 employees
Owner-operators who do their own estimating
Teams that need proposals, invoices, and project tracking — not just takeoffs
Contractors who want to start in 15 minutes, not 15 meetings
Businesses spending $2M-15M/year that can't justify enterprise pricing

Common questions

Can I switch from STACK to CC?

Yes. Export your cost data from STACK to Excel and import it into CC. Your material costs, labor rates, and historical data can come with you.

Does CC have the same takeoff capabilities as STACK?

CC takes a different approach — AI-assisted takeoffs with cost matching instead of purely manual on-screen measurement. For many specialty contractors, the AI approach is faster.

Is CC too simple for our needs?

CC covers estimates, proposals, projects, budgets, invoices, cost databases, and an AI assistant. It's simple to use but not simple in capability. The difference is we skip the enterprise complexity.
