Ruh AI vs Togal AI

Togal AI stops at the takeoff.
Ruh AI runs the business around it.

Togal is a takeoff tool. It measures drawings, fast. Ruh deploys AI employees that estimate, process invoices, run marketing, and book sales calls, inside the tools your team already uses, with a human in approval.

One AI workforce for estimating, accounts payable, marketing, and sales. Live in about a week.

The core difference

A point tool, or a workforce.

Both use AI. They solve very different sized problems. Here is the honest framing of each.

Togal AI logo

Togal AI

An AI takeoff tool, built by estimators. Upload drawings, and it auto detects, measures, and counts spaces with up to 98% accuracy, then exports quantities to Excel, Sage, or Procore.

  • Scope: preconstruction takeoff only
  • Reads geometry, not specs or plan notes
  • Estimators finish and price the work elsewhere
  • Priced per seat, $299 / user / month
Ruh AI logo

Ruh AI

A digital workforce for construction. AI employees that convert plans into priced, reviewable estimates, then keep going into invoices, change orders, marketing, and sales, working inside Procore, Sage, QuickBooks, and your own stack.

  • Scope: estimating, AP, marketing, sales and more
  • Works inside your own tools, with human approval
  • Owns the outcome, not just the measurement
  • Deployed as a workforce, live in about a week

Accounts Payable

“Our AP team used to spend the first half of every week untangling the same five-stage invoice cleanup before anything could touch JD Edwards. Ruh's pipeline cleans, codes, and pushes the invoice through VIM with the GL string already right. Month-end stopped being a fire drill.”

Invoice cycle time cut ~70%

Comstock Holding Companies
ControllerComstock Holding Companies
Invoice Ops

“Every district had its own Egnyte folder logic and its own Bluebeam stamping habits. Ruh matched documents the way our PMs would have matched them by hand, then ran the Bluebeam stamps without anyone asking twice. I haven't routed a paper invoice in months.”

12+ hrs/week saved per district

Orion Group Holdings
District Operations LeadOrion Group Holdings
Exec Support

“Our CEO is on the road to three job sites a week, and the fourth is usually somewhere with no usable signal. Having an assistant that handles the calendar holds, the rebooked flights, and the 'where am I tomorrow' over text, without a human in the loop on every move, has given the office back hours we didn't know we were losing.”

~10 hrs/week reclaimed for leadership

Argan, Inc.
Chief of StaffArgan, Inc.
Takeoff & Estimating

“Our estimators were spending more time retyping quantities than thinking about scope. Ruh reads our drawings the way a senior estimator does, it knows what's a connection, what's a stiffener, what's a field weld, and gives us a priced estimate we actually want to review instead of rebuild.”

Bid turnaround ~50% faster

ADF Group
Director of PreconstructionADF Group
Change Orders

“On a complex MEP job you can have forty change events in flight at once, and the cost of missing one is real. Ruh catches the scope shift the day it shows up in the RFI log, ties it back to the right trade, and gives us a quantified impact before the meeting. Our review backlog basically disappeared.”

Change-order review: days to hours

Limbach Holdings
VP, Project ControlsLimbach Holdings
Pay Applications

“Pay app season used to mean two weeks of our billing team chasing waivers across email, SharePoint, and three subcontractor portals. Ruh assembles the whole package, application, conditional and unconditional waivers, in the right order, ready for a human pass. We close billing cycles in days now.”

Billing cycle: 2 weeks to ~3 days

Built around you

Not a generic tool. A workforce built around your business.

Point tools ship everyone the same fixed features. Ruh starts with every capability already in the market, then builds on top, custom AI employees and workflows shaped to how your business actually runs. That is where the ROI lives.

Every market feature, included

Whatever the point tools do, Ruh already covers, in one platform.

Custom built on top

Need something specific? We build the AI employee or workflow for it.

Fit to your stack and process

Ruh adapts to how you work, not the other way around.

Higher ROI, not another tool

One workforce that owns outcomes, instead of a stack of subscriptions.

Even on the takeoff

A measurement is a start.
An estimate is the job.

Togal reads the geometry on a drawing and hands you quantities. An estimator still prices it, checks the specs, and builds the bid in another tool. Ruh carries it through to a priced, reviewable estimate, with a person approving before anything is sent.

FAQs

Ruh AI vs Togal AI, answered.

The questions estimators and construction leaders ask when they compare the two.

Is Ruh AI a takeoff tool like Togal? +

Ruh does takeoff and estimating as one of its functions, turning plans into priced, reviewable estimates. The difference is what happens next. Ruh keeps going into invoices, change orders, marketing, and sales, so the same workforce covers the work that surrounds the takeoff, not just the measurement.

Do I have to replace Togal to use Ruh? +

No. If your estimators like Togal for fast takeoffs, keep it. Ruh is most valuable on the functions Togal does not touch, accounts payable, change orders, field reports, marketing, and sales. Many teams start there and expand.

How accurate is Ruh, and who checks the work? +

A person stays in the loop. Ruh prepares the estimate, the invoice, or the report, and a human approves it inside your own tools before anything is finalized or sent. You get the speed of automation with the control of a review step.

Does Ruh work with Procore, Sage, and QuickBooks? +

Yes. Ruh runs inside the construction stack, including Procore, Sage 300 CRE, Viewpoint Vista, QuickBooks, Bluebeam Revu, Salesforce, HubSpot, Microsoft 365, and Teams. The AI employees act in the tools your team already uses.

How is pricing different? +

Togal is per seat, published at $299 per user each month for its takeoff tool. Ruh is priced as a workforce around the functions you deploy, not per estimator seat. The right comparison is cost per outcome owned, not cost per login. Book a walkthrough for a scoped number.

How fast can Ruh go live? +

About a week for a first deployment on your stack. The 30-minute walkthrough starts with one real workflow, and you see output on your own work before you commit to a broader rollout.
