Survey vs Bluebeam Revu

Bluebeam Revu is the long-time standard for PDF markup in construction, with deep measurement, takeoff and document tools. Survey is a simpler app that runs in the browser and focuses on markup and counting.

Where Bluebeam Revu is stronger

  • Full measurement and quantity takeoff tools
  • A large set of document tools: compare sheets, batch edits, forms
  • Wide use across big general contractors

Where Survey is stronger

  • Runs in any browser, nothing to install
  • A free plan, and Pro at $9.99 a month
  • Tap-to-count markers with running totals you can export
  • Made for a pen and touch

Which one should you pick?

Pick Bluebeam if you need full takeoff and measurement, or your company already runs on it. Pick Survey if you want quick markup and counting on any device without installing anything or paying much.

We make Survey, so read this with that in mind. Check Bluebeam Revu's own site for its current features and prices.
