The 10 Best AI Tools for Floor Plans in 2027
Curated by Kory White · Fractional CRO, CRO SyndicateDirect Answer
If you need to draw, generate, or refine a floor plan in 2027, the best AI tool overall is Maket, whose generative engine spits out hundreds of code-compliant residential layouts from a plain-text brief and exports clean DWG/PDF files starting at $30/month (with a usable free trial).
The best value is Planner 5D, which gives you a genuinely capable 2D/3D floor planner, an AI layout assistant, and a huge furniture catalog on a free tier, with the Premium plan at roughly $6.99/month when billed annually.
This list is for architects, interior designers, real-estate agents, home renovators, and DIY remodelers who want to skip the blank-canvas problem. Some picks are pure generative AI (describe a house, get a plan); others are mature CAD-style planners that have bolted on AI assistants for auto-furnishing, dimensioning, and 3D rendering.
In 2027 the dividing line is whether you want the AI to invent the layout for you or just speed up a layout you already have in your head. Below are the ten that earn it, ranked.
How We Ranked the Top 10
We scored every tool against six weighted criteria, drawing on G2 and Capterra review counts, Product Hunt launches, vendor changelogs, and hands-on testing of each free trial:
- Output quality (25%) — Are the generated plans realistic, dimensioned, and code-aware, or just rough sketches?
- Ease of use (20%) — How fast can a non-CAD user get from idea to usable plan?
- Price / value (20%) — Free-tier limits, subscription cost, and per-seat math for teams.
- Export & file rights (15%) — DWG, DXF, PDF, glTF, and whether you own/license the output cleanly.
- 3D & rendering (12%) — Quality of the automatic 3D walkthrough and photoreal rendering.
- Integrations (8%) — Revit, SketchUp, Chaos/Enscape, and API access for pipelines.
Tools that locked output behind watermarks, charged for basic DWG export, or generated structurally nonsensical plans lost points fast. Generative quality was weighted highest because that is the actual reason to reach for AI here.
1. Maket 🏆 BEST OVERALL
Best for: Architects and developers who want AI-generated residential layouts from a text brief | Pricing: Free trial / $30/mo (Pro) | Platform: web
Maket is the purest expression of generative floor-plan AI on this list: you type constraints like *"3-bedroom, 2-bath, 1,800 sq ft, open kitchen, garage"* and it produces dozens of distinct floor plans in seconds, each editable in-browser. The engine factors in adjacency rules and local zoning constraints, so layouts come out plausible rather than random, and a built-in AI chat assistant answers building-code and material questions as you iterate.
Exports include PDF and DWG, which drops cleanly into AutoCAD or Revit for the detailing phase. Launched out of beta and heavily updated through 2026–2027, it has become a go-to for early-stage residential concepting where you need many options fast. The $30/month Pro plan unlocks unlimited generations and high-res exports.
Pros:
- Text-to-plan generation that produces dozens of real options in seconds
- Zoning and adjacency awareness keeps layouts buildable, not just pretty
- DWG + PDF export feeds straight into AutoCAD/Revit workflows
- Built-in AI assistant for code, materials, and cost questions
Cons:
- Focused on residential; weak for large commercial or institutional plans
- Generated plans still need a pro to detail before construction
Verdict: The most genuinely "AI-first" floor-plan tool, and the fastest path from a one-line brief to a buildable concept.
2. Planner 5D 💎 BEST VALUE
Best for: Homeowners and DIY remodelers who want free 2D/3D planning with AI assists | Pricing: Free / $6.99/mo (Premium, annual) | Platform: web, iOS, Android, Windows, macOS
Planner 5D is the value champion because its free tier is actually usable: you can draw rooms, drop in 5,000+ furniture items, and flip between 2D and 3D without paying. Its AI Floorplan Recognition feature scans an uploaded image or photo of an existing plan and rebuilds it as an editable model, and the AI design assistant auto-suggests furnishings and color schemes.
The cross-platform apps mean you can start a plan on your phone at a job site and finish on a desktop. Premium, about $6.99/month billed annually, removes catalog limits and unlocks 4K renders and HD snapshots. With millions of downloads and strong App Store ratings, it is the easiest no-cost entry point for non-professionals.
Pros:
- Genuinely free tier with 2D/3D editing and a large furniture catalog
- AI Floorplan Recognition turns a photo or sketch into an editable model
- Cross-platform across web, iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS
- 4K rendering on the inexpensive Premium plan
Cons:
- Not a CAD tool; no DWG/DXF export for professional pipelines
- Catalog and render quality gated behind Premium
Verdict: The best free starting point for anyone who is not an architect and refuses to pay before they have a working plan.
3. RoomSketcher
Best for: Real-estate agents and stagers who need clean 2D/3D floor plans fast | Pricing: Free / $49/yr (Pro) and up | Platform: web, iOS, Android
RoomSketcher specializes in real-estate-grade floor plans: branded 2D plans, Live 3D walkthroughs, and 360° views that listings and brochures eat up. Its order-a-plan service lets agents send a rough sketch and get a professional plan back, while the app's auto-furnish and snapping tools speed up DIY work.
Plans export as JPG, PNG, and PDF with measurement labels, and the Pro plan (about $49/year) and Pro Plus unlock high-resolution and total floor-area calculations that matter for listings. Widely used across European and U.S. Real-estate markets, it nails the specific job of making a property look professional without CAD overhead.
Pros:
- Real-estate-ready output with branding, 3D walkthroughs, and 360° views
- Affordable annual pricing starting around $49/year
- Total area calculations baked in for accurate listings
- Order-a-plan service for agents who don't want to draw
Cons:
- Geared to property marketing, not construction documents
- No true generative "describe-it" AI; it's an assisted planner
Verdict: The default for real-estate floor plans where a clean, branded, listing-ready output beats engineering precision.
4. Coohom
Best for: Interior designers wanting AI rendering plus floor planning in one suite | Pricing: Free / $9.99/mo (Pro, annual) and up | Platform: web
Coohom pairs floor planning with photoreal AI rendering and a massive product library, making it a favorite of interior and kitchen-and-bath designers. Draw a floor plan, furnish it from millions of 3D models, then let the cloud render engine produce 4K stills, 360° panoramas, and walkthrough video without a render farm.
Its AI design tools auto-generate furnishing schemes and recolor materials, and floor plans export to PDF and image formats. The free tier covers basic projects; Pro (around $9.99/month annually) lifts render and storage caps. Backed by parts of the same ecosystem behind enterprise tool Homestyler, Coohom is strong wherever the *look* of the finished space matters as much as the layout.
Pros:
- Cloud photoreal rendering in 4K with no local GPU required
- Millions of 3D furniture models for fast, realistic furnishing
- AI auto-furnishing and material recoloring speed up design
- Affordable Pro tier starting near $9.99/month
Cons:
- Heavier learning curve than a pure floor planner
- Rendering credits and storage limited on lower tiers
Verdict: Pick Coohom when the rendered interior sells the project and the floor plan is step one of a bigger design.
5. Cedreo
Best for: Home builders and remodelers presenting to clients in under an hour | Pricing: $119/mo (Personal) and up | Platform: web
Cedreo is built for the homebuilder sales meeting: draw a 2D plan, auto-generate the 3D model and photoreal renderings in minutes, and walk a client through their future home on the same call. It targets pros who need speed over deep customization, with a streamlined editor, pre-loaded construction-ready templates, and one-click 2D-to-3D conversion.
Plans and renderings export as high-res images and PDFs suited to proposals. Pricing starts around $119/month on the Personal plan, which is steep for hobbyists but cheap against a single closed remodel. Popular with U.S.
And French builders, Cedreo trades CAD depth for sales-cycle velocity.
Pros:
- Minutes from 2D plan to photoreal 3D rendering
- Builder-focused templates and a streamlined, fast editor
- Client-presentation output that closes deals on the call
- Cloud-based, so nothing to install or GPU-render locally
Cons:
- Pricier monthly cost aimed squarely at professionals
- Not a precision CAD/construction-document tool
Verdict: The right call for builders and remodelers who win business by showing a polished 3D home fast.
6. Architechtures
Best for: Developers optimizing multi-unit residential building layouts | Pricing: Free trial / custom (Pro/Enterprise) | Platform: web
Architechtures is a generative design platform for residential developments, not single homes. You set criteria — site boundary, unit mix, density, regulations, daylight — and its AI engine produces optimized building layouts in real time, recalculating as you tweak parameters.
It targets developers and architects working on apartment blocks and housing schemes, where balancing buildable area against code and cost is the whole game. Output exports to DXF and Revit/IFC for downstream BIM work, which is rare among AI tools here. Pricing is quote-based for Pro and Enterprise after a trial.
It is overkill for a kitchen remodel but unmatched for early-stage multi-family feasibility.
Pros:
- Real-time generative optimization of multi-unit residential layouts
- Regulation, density, and daylight constraints built into the engine
- DXF and Revit/IFC export for serious BIM pipelines
- Feasibility metrics (buildable area, cost) update live
Cons:
- Built for developments, not individual rooms or houses
- Quote-based pricing and a steeper professional learning curve
Verdict: The specialist's choice for AI-driven multi-family and development feasibility, well beyond hobbyist needs.
7. Floorplanner
Best for: Quick, shareable 2D/3D plans for real estate and events | Pricing: Free / $5/plan (Plus) and up | Platform: web
Floorplanner is one of the longest-running web floor planners, known for an approachable drag-and-drop editor that turns a 2D drawing into a 3D view in one click. Its pricing model is unusual and flexible: a free account for one project, then pay-per-project credits starting around $5 per plan, plus subscriptions for heavy users.
It bundles an automatic furniture arranger, measurement labels, and high-resolution image and PDF export. Used widely by real-estate portals and event planners, it is the tool you reach for when you need a clean plan shared with a client today and don't want to commit to a monthly fee.
Pros:
- Pay-per-plan pricing ideal for occasional, one-off projects
- One-click 2D-to-3D conversion with auto-furnishing

Verdict: The flexible, no-commitment pick when you need a polished plan now and hate subscriptions.
8. Foyr Neo
Best for: Interior designers wanting all-in-one planning plus 4K rendering | Pricing: $49/mo (annual) and up | Platform: web
Foyr Neo positions itself as an all-in-one interior-design platform that replaces a stack of separate floor-planning, modeling, and rendering apps. You build the floor plan, furnish from a 60,000+ object library, and generate 4K photoreal renders in minutes inside the same browser tab.
AI-assisted auto-furnishing and lighting cut setup time, and the workflow is tuned so a designer can go from empty room to client-ready render without hopping tools. Pricing starts around $49/month billed annually. It is heavier than a pure planner but pays off for designers who otherwise juggle SketchUp plus a render plugin plus a catalog.
Pros:
- All-in-one planning, modeling, and 4K rendering in one app
- 60,000+ object library for fast, realistic furnishing
- AI auto-furnishing and lighting speed up scene setup
- Browser-based, no local install or render hardware needed
Cons:
- Subscription-only with no meaningful free tier
- More tool than needed for a simple 2D layout
Verdict: A strong consolidation play for interior designers tired of stitching SketchUp, a renderer, and a catalog together.
9. SmartDraw
Best for: Business users who need floor plans alongside org charts and diagrams | Pricing: $9.95/mo (annual, individual) and up | Platform: web, desktop
SmartDraw is a broad diagramming suite whose floor-plan templates are a strong fit for office layouts, retail spaces, and facilities planning. Its appeal is breadth and integration: the same tool makes flowcharts, org charts, and floor plans, and it plugs into Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Confluence, and Jira.
Floor plans use smart, snapping templates with scaled measurements, and AI-assisted diagramming can draft layouts from prompts. Export covers PDF, SVG, and common image formats, and individual pricing starts around $9.95/month annually. It is less photoreal than the design-focused tools but ideal where a floor plan lives inside business documentation.
Pros:
- One subscription covers floor plans plus org charts and flowcharts
- Microsoft 365, Google, Confluence, and Jira integrations
- AI-assisted diagramming drafts layouts from prompts
- Affordable individual pricing near $9.95/month
Cons:
- Floor plans are 2D/diagrammatic, not photoreal 3D
- Less furniture realism than dedicated home-design tools
Verdict: The practical choice for businesses that want facility floor plans inside the same tool as the rest of their diagrams.
10. Visual Paradigm Floor Plan Maker
Best for: Teams that want a free, browser-based floor-plan maker with templates | Pricing: Free / paid tiers and up | Platform: web
Visual Paradigm Online rounds out the list with a free, template-driven floor-plan maker inside its larger diagramming suite. It is a fast way to lay out an office, classroom, or apartment using a library of pre-built shapes and room templates, with drag-and-drop walls, doors, and furniture symbols.
The browser editor needs no install, supports real-time collaboration, and exports to PDF, PNG, JPG, and SVG. The free tier covers basic plans with watermarking removed on paid plans, and the same account also produces UML, flowcharts, and mind maps. It will not render a photoreal kitchen, but for a clean schematic plan shared across a team, it is hard to beat the price.
Pros:
- Free, browser-based floor planning with no install
- Template and shape library for offices, classrooms, and homes
- Real-time collaboration for distributed teams
- PDF, PNG, JPG, and SVG export options
Cons:
- Schematic 2D output; no realistic 3D rendering
- Watermarks and limits on the free tier
Verdict: A solid free, collaborative pick for simple schematic floor plans that live alongside a team's other diagrams.
Which One Is Right for You?
What to Look For
- Generative vs. Assisted: Decide up front whether you want the AI to *create* the layout (Maket, Architechtures) or just *speed up* one you draw yourself (everything else). It changes which tool fits.
- Export and file rights: If a pro will detail your plan, you need DWG/DXF or IFC export — most consumer planners only give you PDF/PNG, which is a dead end for CAD.
- Free-tier reality: A "free" plan that watermarks output or caps you at one project is a trial, not a tier. Planner 5D and Visual Paradigm are the rare genuinely usable free options.
- 3D and rendering quality: If you sell with visuals, Coohom, Cedreo, and Foyr Neo produce photoreal 4K; diagram tools and basic planners do not.
- Integration with your stack: Check for Revit, SketchUp, Microsoft 365, or API access before committing, especially on a team.
What matters less than the hype: flashy marketing renders. A tool that generates a buildable, well-dimensioned plan you can actually export beats one with prettier promo screenshots every time.
FAQ
Can AI really generate a usable floor plan from text? Yes — tools like Maket and Architechtures produce buildable, code-aware layouts from a written brief in seconds. They still need a professional to detail before construction, but the concept stage is genuinely automated now.
What's the best free AI floor-plan tool? Planner 5D is the strongest free pick for homeowners, with real 2D/3D editing and AI floor-plan recognition. Visual Paradigm and Floorplanner also offer usable free tiers for schematic plans and single projects.
Which tool exports to AutoCAD or Revit? Maket exports DWG, and Architechtures exports DXF and Revit/IFC. Most consumer-focused planners only export PDF and images, so confirm before buying if you need CAD handoff.
Do I need CAD skills to use these? No. Tools like Planner 5D, RoomSketcher, and Floorplanner are drag-and-drop and aimed at non-professionals. Maket is even simpler — you describe the home in plain language.
Which is best for real-estate listings? RoomSketcher is purpose-built for property marketing with branded 2D plans, 3D walkthroughs, and total-area calculations. Floorplanner is a flexible pay-per-plan alternative for occasional listings.
Are AI-generated floor plans code-compliant? Some account for zoning and adjacency rules (Maket) or full regulations (Architechtures), but no AI output should be treated as final construction documents. Always have a licensed professional verify local code compliance.
Bottom Line
