A Planner 5D alternative, without a subscription
Planner 5D is a 2D and 3D home design app, on the web and on mobile. The free version opens half of the catalogue; Premium starts at $19.99 a month, and an account is required to save a project.
What Planner 5D does well
- Polished 3D, designed for decorating.
- Apps for phones, tablets and computers.
- A very large catalogue of furniture and materials.
What Plan² does differently
- Everything is free, library included: no element is kept for subscribers.
- No account: your plan stays on your device and exports as a file.
- An accurate 2D plan, dimensioned wall by wall, with the area of every room.
- The plot, the fences and the pool belong on the plan.
Which one to choose?
To imagine a decor in 3D, with branded furniture and materials, Planner 5D is very pleasant. To draw just the plan of your house and plot, for free and without an account, Plan² gets straight to the point.
