Do I need to install anything?

No. MetreMate runs in any modern browser, so there is no heavy desktop application to install, update or licence.

Does it stay fast on large plans?

Yes. It is built to keep pan, zoom and measuring smooth even on big, detailed construction plans, so the tool does not slow you down.

Will it work on a tablet on site?

Not yet. Tablet support is coming soon. For now, MetreMate runs in any modern browser on a Windows or Mac computer, so take a laptop to site and your plans come with you.

Does a faster tool actually help my takeoff?

Yes. A responsive canvas means fewer misclicks and less waiting, which adds up to faster, more accurate takeoffs across every quote.

Is it slower on the free plan?

No. MetreMate runs the same way on every plan, including Free. The paid plans lift the limits on projects, plans, markups and file size, not the speed.

What browser do I need to run MetreMate?

Any modern browser does the job on a Mac or Windows machine. There is no desktop app to install, update, or licence, so you open the plan and start measuring.

Does it slow down once I have placed a lot of measurements on a sheet?

No. The canvas is built to stay responsive as the takeoff grows, so pan, zoom, and clicks keep up even when the plan is covered in lengths, areas, and counts.

Do I need a grunty computer to measure big plans?

No. Because it runs in the browser, a standard office desktop or site laptop handles large, detailed plans smoothly, without the heavy hardware some desktop takeoff software asks for.
