How does the free trial work?
Enter your email and card at checkout and you get a licence key and the download straight away. Every feature works for 3 days, but exported documents carry a “TRIAL COPY” watermark. Nothing is charged during the trial; if you cancel before it ends (from your account page, or by emailing us) you pay nothing. Otherwise the subscription starts at A$99 per month + GST and the watermark disappears once the first payment goes through.
Can I skip the trial or end it early?
Yes. Choose Pay now — skip the trial above to be charged for the first month today with no watermark. If you’re already on a trial, use End trial & pay now on your account page or in the plugin’s Licence… window: your card is charged A$108.90 (A$99 + GST) and the watermark is removed straight away.
Can I use it without a subscription?
No. The download is only available to subscribers, and without an active licence (trial or paid) the extension shows only its activation screen. Your models and settings stay on your computer untouched, and everything comes back as soon as you resubscribe.
What will it cost?
A$99 per month plus GST (A$108.90 inc. GST) for one plan with every module included — no tiers, no add-ons. It starts with a 3-day free trial (or pay now to skip it), each licence covers 2 computers, and you can cancel any time from your account page. GST is added at checkout, and your tax invoice shows it separately.
What do I need to run it?
SketchUp Pro 2026 on Windows. Support for other SketchUp versions and for macOS is planned but not yet tested, and we won’t claim a version we haven’t verified.
Do my models need to be set up a particular way?
Yes, for the estimating side. Automatic take-off reads attributes — item code, supplier, price, quantity — off your dynamic components. If your components already carry that data you’ll be productive quickly. If they don’t, the Component Library tool helps you add it in bulk, but that’s a real setup project and we’d rather say so up front.
Does my model data leave my computer?
No. Estimates, prices, customers and models are all stored and calculated on your machine — there’s no cloud pipeline and no telemetry. The single exception is the optional AI assistant: if you choose to use it, the relevant component context is sent to Anthropic’s API for that request. Nothing is sent unless you initiate it.
Do I need an AI key?
Only if you want the AI assistant, which is optional. It uses your own Anthropic API key and you pay Anthropic directly. Every core feature — estimating, documents, pricing, rules — works with no AI and no internet connection at all.
What about macOS?
Windows only at launch. macOS is planned as a follow-up release. We’d rather ship one platform properly than claim two and disappoint half of you.
