What Floorplanner does well
- Polished plans in 2D and 3D.
- High-definition renders and 3D tours, paid for with credits.
- Features built for real-estate professionals.
What Plan² does differently
- Entirely free, with no project limit: every plan is a file you keep.
- No account, and no plan stored on our side.
- High-definition images, without a watermark, for every floor.
- The yard and the lot drawn as precisely as the house.
Which one to choose?
If you need 3D renders and virtual tours, to present a property for instance, Floorplanner has the tools for it. If you simply want clean 2D plans, with no account and no limits, Plan² is enough.
Plan² plans a 3D view, not available yet: meanwhile the 2D plan is complete.
