Movers and home planners who draw a plan to exact dimensions
What to check before choosing
Exact wall lengths, short segments and awkward corners are all needed. It is worth testing dimension entry separately, along with how editing one part affects the rest of the plan.

This is a long-standing working tool for floor plans: people lay out every home they've lived in over a decade and love seeing future changes. But moving from a one-time purchase to a subscription enraged old buyers, and some lost paid features like copy-object. Add subscription ads on every launch, crashes when building a roof, and white textures in AR.
Praised: Detailed realistic floor plans, easy to lay out any home for years, see future changes to a room
Complaints: Paid features lost after the subscription switch, subscription ad on every launch, crashes on complex projects, white textures in AR, dimensions overlay the object itself
Best for: People who seriously draw home floor plans and want realistic 3D, willing to accept the new subscription model

Some call the app easy for floor planning and bringing a plan to life in 3D, but few such reviews carry detail. Far more are specific complaints: charged right after starting the free trial, the built-in AI assistant barely works, and uploading your own photo plan has failed for years. The gap between the store rating and what reviews actually say is noticeable.
Praised: Easy for floor planning, brings a plan to life in 3D, lots of graphics and options
Complaints: Charged right after starting the trial, AI assistant barely works, own photo plan won't upload, expensive to remove limits, projects lost after an update
Best for: People who want to lay out a floor plan visually in 3D and will watch the trial period and billing closely

The app helps sketch floor plans fast and flexes your creative, architectural side, and beginners like it. But the free version cuts off hard at three rooms, where a fourth wall already counts as a room, and you can't set precise small wall dimensions. Add crashes, projects lost after an update, and a silent support team.
Praised: Easy to sketch plans as a beginner, flexes your architectural side, fun to create a home
Complaints: Free version cuts off at three rooms, can't set precise small wall dimensions, crashes and glitches, projects vanish after updates, unresponsive support
Best for: Beginners who want to simply rough out a floor plan and are willing to pay to remove limits

A strong tool for anyone willing to learn it: 3D view, walk-through of your house, AR mode and tons of items genuinely impress. But the interface confuses beginners, walls and floors sometimes vanish, and the big pain is that without paying you can only open your most recent project, which leaves many feeling cheated.
Praised: 3D view and house walk-through, AR mode, lots of items and options, no ads, you can build a house in a couple of hours
Complaints: Only your latest project opens without paying, hard interface for beginners, walls and floors disappear, lags and won't load, flickering room lights
Best for: Patient hobbyists and teens who enjoy building a house in detailed 3D, not just quick previews

People value that a room plan comes together easier than in rival apps, and you can see the result in 2D and 3D, some have run their whole house through it for years. It breaks on basics: no ruler to measure, you cannot keep more than one room, adding a third wall makes the other two dimensions jump around, and it freezes often and drops objects into random spots. A separate pain is that a lot of what used to be free now sits behind a subscription, and old projects stop opening after updates.
Praised: Easy to start and learn, clear 2D to 3D switch, planning a whole house for a remodel with contractors, simpler than rivals
Complaints: No ruler for measuring, only one room free, wall dimensions drift when you add new walls, frequent freezes and crashes, objects land in random places, old projects will not open after updates, thin furniture catalog
Best for: Anyone planning a remodel or layout who wants to see a room in 3D quickly without heavy software

A simple workhorse for arranging furniture before a move: people keep saved rooms for years and check in advance whether new furniture will fit. It breaks on two things: a dated, slow interface where moving objects is hard, especially on a phone, and the main pain, after updates people lose all their saved rooms and hours of work.
Praised: Simple furniture arranging before a move, saved rooms on hand, helps through moves for years, clearly shows whether furniture fits
Complaints: Dated slow interface, hard to move objects especially on a phone, saved rooms vanish after updates, no proper saving, payment for saving and rotating
Best for: People who move often and want to plan furniture arrangement in advance, better on an iPad

A precise floor-plan planner: people draw exact walls to the inch, pull permits for construction, and the room scanner is off by only a couple of inches. The main pain is that basics (roof, arched door, stair and window options) are locked behind a roughly 40-dollar yearly fee, while the free version is too thin. It also lacks a basement, floor duplication, and wall grouping.
Praised: Exact walls to the inch, shows inside and outside wall dimensions, accurate room scanner, AR mode, good enough for building permits, easy to learn
Complaints: Basics (roof, arched door, stairs, windows) behind payment, thin free version, no basement, cannot duplicate a floor or group walls, cannot duplicate wall textures, lacks instructions
Best for: For people drawing an exact house or room plan for a remodel or permit who are willing to pay the yearly subscription.

A powerful, flexible planner that fans use for years to furnish a whole house, valuing control over every detail and a large free set. It breaks in three spots: almost no tutorial or help, moving one item scatters the whole room, and some once-free features and furniture moved behind payment.
Praised: Flexible editor with control over everything, rich free set, people plan a whole house for years, addictive and pleasant to use
Complaints: Almost no tutorial or help, moving one item scatters the whole layout, dated furniture, some free features moved behind payment, support replies with auto-messages
Best for: Patient enthusiasts willing to figure it out themselves for deep control over the layout
