| Key advantage | Plan drawing, furniture placement, and 3D viewing sit in one workflow. | A plan-first workflow with measurements and multiple presentation outputs. | A free Basic route covers the core editor and 2D/3D planning. | A browser floor planner with a large model library and Basic 1K rendering. | Connects measured 2D plans with a 3D decor catalog and image output. | The desktop and online editions support simultaneous 2D and 3D work. |
| Main limitation | Some 3D, catalog, and plan-upload tools need a paid plan. | Features and 3D outputs vary by tier, project upgrade, and credits. | Free exports have a watermark and lower resolution. | Higher-resolution renders and advanced tools require payment. | The free Starter plan limits projects and realistic images. | Furniture bundles and mobile editions differ from the free desktop download. |
