Shopping around? OpenPlan3D is a free, open-source alternative people also weigh against other floor plan and home design tools, including:
A paid, per-project field app popular for LiDAR/AR room scanning on iPhone.
OpenPlan3D Capture also scans rooms with iPhone LiDAR and Apple RoomPlan — free, with no per-project fees and no account. Open the scan in the editor and export DXF, PDF, or SVG at no cost.
A freemium 2D/3D floor plan tool where the free tier watermarks 3D output and charges per floor-plan render.
OpenPlan3D exports 2D and 3D for free with no watermarks and no per-render fees, and the whole editor is open source.
A freemium planner whose free plan caps projects and exports low-resolution, watermarked images with no DXF or DWG.
OpenPlan3D gives you unlimited plans, full-resolution exports, and free DXF for CAD — no credits or subscription.
A freemium home-design app that watermarks free renders and limits the furniture catalog.
OpenPlan3D has no watermarks, 140+ free furniture models plus GLB/glTF import, and open-source code.
A general-purpose 3D modeler; the free web version blocks CAD (DWG/DXF) import/export and commercial use, and SketchUp Pro is a paid subscription.
OpenPlan3D is purpose-built for floor plans, runs free in the browser, and exports DXF for CAD without a Pro plan.
