Manageable learning curve with useful training resources. Strong project collaboration features for team workflows. Clear invoicing and cost-tracking tools. > > **Cons**: Occasional performance slowdowns with very large models. Limited advanced customization in some reports. Initial setup and full feature mastery can take time. Occasional delays in feature requests or roadmap communication. > > Overall, RIB CostX delivered a solid, reliable estimating solution with intuitive takeoff tools and strong BIM integration. Support and training resources made adoption smooth, though mastering advanced features took some time.

The user interface is REALLY un-intuitive, there is a huge learning curve, and it's difficult to use. The system is slow, navigating around a drawing is very laggy. Auto takeoff features don't work well at all, particularly on civil engineering drawings with many intersecting lines or areas > > I know CostX is well regarded in the industry and is full featured. It however is quote slow to use (rendering and navigation). CostX contains may features and tools, but these are buried in menus and under options that make navigation and use difficult for new users without significant training. The user interface is not intuitive ----- ### "Accurate, Efficient Measurement and Reliable Cost Planning" — 5.0/5 > **Marlise** | *8 May 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Its accuracy and efficiency in measurement and cost planning. The ability to extract quantities directly from drawings and link them effortlessly to rates saves significant time, reduces manual errors, and makes benchmarking and cost comparisons across projects far more reliable. > > **Cons**: When writing formulas, you have to look up the cell and enter it manually. Can not group Workbooks in folders > > Excellent. I use this software on a daily basis and actively encourage clients to adopt it as well. It significantly improves efficiency, enhances accuracy, and enables the production of more professional documentation for clients. ----- ### "Daily user review" — 5.0/5 > **Matt** | *8 May 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very easy to use, helps me to win jobs with quick quoting. We basically use cost x when accurate measurements are required for job ordering > > **Cons**: No AI incorporation yet, would love it to just detect and auto calc everything. There are softwares that can do this out there, but we do still use Cost X for accuracy over these softwares. Combine the two and Cost X would win hands down. > > Positive - I use Cost X every day as it is still the most accurate tool for manual measuring, would 100% recommend it if you are looking for a software tool with a higher level of accuracy than many of the other quantifying softwares available ----- ### "CostX Review" — 5.0/5 > **Sam** | *10 May 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: CostX has most of the functions, and is easy to use compared to other softwares. It works in remote, or can be downloaded and work independently. > > **Cons**: There is not option to choose a colour to the writings in the description column of CostX. It will be always in black. > > I am using CostX for the last 14 years. I have also used other softwares like Buildsoft/Cubit, Planswift, etc. CostX is the best. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.sg/software/75416/costx?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.sg/software/75416/costx) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
