Floor Plan Maker vs Planner 5D

Two fact sheets from our own research, side by side — pricing, platforms, API access and status re-checked by us rather than quoted from the vendors. Planner 5D publishes a starting price ($19.99); Floor Plan Maker does not. Both have a free tier. Only Planner 5D ships a public API.

What our research says

Floor Plan Maker

Genuinely free, genuinely no sign-up, and it produces three plan styles including a 3D isometric view that reads well in a listing or a client conversation. For sketching renovation ideas or comparing room arrangements that is a fair trade. What it will not do is let you nudge a wall — the generator returns finished concepts, and manual editing means exporting into the separate editor tool.

Pros

  • No sign-up, no cost and no watermark on personal-use plans
  • Three output styles: technical, 2.5D and 3D isometric, from the same input
  • Space presets for house, office, restaurant, classroom, garage and kitchen plus custom
  • Connected tools carry a plan onward into rendering, 3D, interior design and virtual staging

Cons

  • The generator returns finished layouts — editing means moving to a separate editor tool
  • Vendor explicitly says plans are not construction-ready without professional review
  • No company address or country is published, only 'Floor Plan Maker INC'
  • No paid tier means no stated support or reliability commitment

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
