What our research says

AI Room Planner

One of the few room-restyling tools still genuinely unmetered on the web, and its room list stretches past homes into hotels, gyms and shops. The flip side is a beta label with an explicit warning that free access can end without notice, plus mobile apps that do charge.

Pros

  • Free and uncapped on the web during the beta period
  • About 25 room and venue types, including commercial spaces
  • More than 30 styles, from Scandinavian through cyberpunk
  • Google sign-in or an emailed link, with no password to manage

Cons

  • Beta status plus a written warning that free use may stop at any time
  • No published web pricing to plan around
  • The mobile apps are a separate paid product with weekly subscriptions

Planner 5D

Fifteen years old and available on essentially every platform, which is rare in this category and shows in how complete the toolchain is - plan, furnish, render, export to CAD. The AI parts are add-ons to a conventional design tool rather than the product itself, and they are rationed by credits even on paid plans. The free tier is usable but deliberately limited to half the catalogue.

Pros

  • Native clients for web, iOS, Android, macOS, Windows and visionOS
  • AI plan recognition traces a photographed or scanned floor plan into an editable one
  • Catalogue of 8,000+ furniture and decor items, with 4K rendering and 360-degree walkthroughs on paid tiers
  • CAD export and a product configurator for furniture retailers on higher tiers
  • Lithuanian company with a published registered address, trading since 2011

Cons

  • Free plan withholds about half the furniture catalogue
  • AI credits are capped monthly even on the $49.99 tier
  • API access is enterprise-only and requires contacting sales
  • Annual and monthly prices differ sharply, so month-to-month is poor value
