Planner 5D vs Home Design 3D

Depth. Planner 5D's Premium plan ($59.99 a year) unlocks a catalog of more than 10,000 items, renders and AI floor-plan recognition: upload a picture of a plan and it becomes an editable 3D project. AI Studio credits generate design images, and it runs in the browser as well as on phones and desktops, so a project follows you between devices.

Simplicity on a phone. Home Design 3D has been around for over a decade and claims more than 80 million users. Draw a plan, see it instantly in 3D, adjust wall heights, place items and walk through; on iOS you can view the design in augmented reality. It is now subscription-based in the App Store, with weekly, monthly and yearly options from $4.99 a week to $79.99 a year. There is no AI.

Planner 5D and Home Design 3D 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.
