Planner 5D vs RoomGPT

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

RoomGPT

The fastest way to answer "what would this room look like in a different style", and the no-expiry credit model suits people who use it twice a year rather than twice a day. Treat the output as a mood board, not something a contractor can build from.

Pros

• +Credits are a one-time purchase with no expiry, confirmed in the vendor's own fulfillment policy
• +Single-photo input with no modelling, measuring or scene setup
• +Turnaround is fast enough to iterate live in front of a client

Cons

• −Output is a render with no dimensions, product links or shopping list
• −No API, no batch upload and no team workspace
• −Run by a single developer, so support and roadmap rest on one person
• −A discount code is permanently displayed on the site, which makes the list price hard to take at face value
