Floorplanner vs Planner 5D
Floorplanner is a browser floor planner where you can stay free and pay only for the exports you need. Planner 5D is an all-device home designer with a yearly plan and AI tools. If you need one good floor plan, the math favors one; if you are designing a whole home, it favors the other.
Updated November 2026. Disclosure: we make remodelhome, an AI room redesign tool, and it appears as a third column so you can see when a lighter tool is enough. The verdict between the other two does not depend on it.

Where Floorplanner wins
Paying only for what you export. Floorplanner runs in the browser and is free for casual use: 5 projects with small watermarked exports. When you need a clean image, you buy credits (5 for $8.15 up to 100 for $163) and spend them per project on watermark removal and HD, 4K or even 8K images. For a homeowner who needs one floor plan for a contractor, that can cost less than any subscription.

Where Planner 5D wins
A whole home, on every device. Planner 5D's free plan already allows unlimited projects, and Premium at $59.99 a year adds the full 10,000+ item catalog, renders, AI floor-plan recognition and AI Studio credits. Apps on phones, tablets, Mac and Windows keep the project in sync. If you are furnishing several rooms over months, the flat yearly price wins.
When you do not need a floor plan at all
Floorplanner and Planner 5D start from a plan: you draw walls, place furniture from a catalog, then render. That is the right workflow when the layout changes. When the walls stay where they are and the question is how should this room look, a photo is a faster starting point.
remodelhome takes a picture of your actual room and returns photorealistic redesigns in the style you pick, with the materials you choose and anything you want to avoid. It does not make floor plans, measurements or 3D models, so it does not replace either tool for a renovation that moves walls. It does replace hours of modeling when you only want to compare looks. New accounts get 3 free credits, no card; Basic is $14.99 a month or $119.99 a year.
