Kamai vs Togal
AI markup platform for estimators
Togal builds a place for estimators to mark up plans with AI assistance. Kamai automates the takeoff itself. Our models read the drawing, count the symbols, and return structured data, so the markup step is done for you instead of made faster.
Togal is building the best place to mark up a plan. Kamai automates the markup. Our models read the drawing more accurately, and you can verify that on your own sheets.
What each tool is built for.
The honest read, including the rows where the other tool wins.
| Capability | Kamai | Togal |
|---|---|---|
| What it optimizes for | Automating the whole takeoff | Faster manual markup |
| Underlying representation | Vector geometry | Rasterized pixels |
| Dimension precision | Sub-millimeter, exact | Approximation per pixel scale |
| Per-sheet retraining | Not required | Often required for new conventions |
| Web-based UI | Yes | Yes |
| Public API | Yes, the primary product surface | Limited |
| Output format | Structured JSON, typed schemas | Excel exports |
| Multi-discipline parsing | Same models across supported divisions, expanding | Strongest in architectural |
Why Kamai is built this way.
- We automate the takeoff instead of speeding up the manual markup, because the markup is the part worth removing.
- We chose vector-native because rasterizing throws away the data we want to extract.
- We chose structured JSON because the next system in your pipeline can read it directly.
Why Togal is built that way.
- Togal builds the markup platform because that is what most estimators are buying today.
- Togal trains on rasterized drawings because it generalizes faster across drawing conventions.
- Togal focuses on architectural takeoff because it is the most lucrative subset.
Togal is a polished markup tool, and it is good at that. The honest test is the output: upload the same drawings to both and compare what comes back. Kamai is built to read them more accurately and hand you data you can build on.
