Why people look for an alternative
Planner 5D or Floorra: which fits your project?
Planner 5D is one of the best-known home design apps. It shines at decorating: a very large furniture catalogue, apps for phone, tablet and desktop, and realistic renders. Many of its advanced features, such as AI design tools, high-quality renders and CAD export, are on its paid plans.
Floorra is built for an earlier question: what house do I need? You list the rooms, choose or draw the outline, and the AI architect designs the layout the way an architect would: zones, entrance, garage, hallways, and a check on every room. You get three designs to compare, each in 2D and 3D.
If you mainly want to furnish and render an existing room, Planner 5D may suit you better. If you want to plan a new house from a room list, Floorra is the faster route, and it is free to start.

What is the best free alternative to Planner 5D?
It depends on the job. For planning a whole house from a list of rooms, Floorra is an alternative that is free to start, with an AI architect on Plus and CAD downloads on Pro. For decorating one room with a large furniture catalogue, tools like Homestyler or Sweet Home 3D are common choices.
Is Floorra free?
Free to start. Choosing a gallery shape, adding and customizing rooms, placing them yourself, 2D and 3D views and the PDF download are free. Plus ($19 a month) adds the AI architect and your own drawn or typed house shape; Pro ($29 a month) adds unlimited AI designs and CAD downloads.
Does Floorra have an AI designer like Planner 5D?
Floorra's AI architect designs the whole house layout from your outline and rooms, gives you three designs with room checks, and follows wishes written in plain words.
Can I export CAD files for free?
The PDF drawing set is free. DXF CAD drawings, a GLB 3D model and an IFC building model are part of Pro.
Can I import my Planner 5D project?
Not directly. Floorra starts from a house outline and a room list, which usually takes a few minutes to set up.
Is Floorra better than Planner 5D?
For planning a new house layout, Floorra is faster and free to start. For furnishing and rendering rooms, or for multi-storey homes today, Planner 5D offers more.
Does Floorra work on phones?
Floorra runs in the browser, including on phones and tablets, but a laptop or desktop is best for editing plans. Planner 5D has native mobile apps.

Yes. Plus plans up to four storeys, joined by stairs; one storey is free.
