AI floor plan tools compared

We ran one house brief through the AI floor plan tools people ask us about and measured what came back: is it a plan or a picture of one, do the dimensions add up, can you change it, which files you get, and what it costs. Each page says where the other tool is the better pick.

Best AI floor plan generator (2026): 8 tools ranked →
Plan Chat, Maket, Drafted, Plancio, Planner 5D, floordrafter, floor-plan.ai and home-design.ai on measured geometry, editing, exports, wait and price.
Floor plan software (2026): Plan Chat vs Planner 5D, RoomSketcher, Cedreo, Floorplanner →
Drawing programs versus a plan drafted from a brief: measured geometry, CAD export, editing and price, from their public pricing pages.
Maket alternative: Maket vs Plan Chat →
Pick Maket if you want a guided questionnaire, a free starter balance and a canvas where you move rooms and draw walls by hand. Pick Plan Chat if you want the plan from one message in about a minute, dimension strings and room sizes on the drawing, a plan check, and PDF, DXF, IFC and 3D files from the $19 Starter plan.
tested October 2026
floor-plan.ai alternative: floor-plan.ai vs Plan Chat →
Pick floor-plan.ai if you want quick concept pictures, many styles and the cheapest yearly plan. Pick Plan Chat if the numbers matter: a plan whose dimension strings, room sizes and areas agree, a plan check, chat edits that keep the house, and DXF/IFC from geometry rather than a trace of a picture.
tested October 2026
Planner 5D alternative: Planner 5D vs Plan Chat →
Pick Planner 5D if you want to draw and furnish your rooms yourself, decorate in 3D and use apps on phone and desktop, with a free tier to start. Pick Plan Chat if you want the AI to lay out the whole house from a description and need dimensioned PDF, DXF and IFC files without the $49.99/month Professional plan.
tested October 2026
Drafted alternative: Drafted vs Plan Chat →
Pick Drafted if you start from room counts and a house shape, want five layouts to compare at once, work in Revit or need collaboration with permissions. Pick Plan Chat if you start from a written brief or a hand sketch, want changes by chat that keep the rest of the house, a plan check on every version, and published prices.

The short matrix

	Plan Chat (ours)	Maket	floor-plan.ai	Planner 5D	Drafted
What you get	Measured plan: rooms, walls, doors and windows as geometry, drawn with dimension strings, room names, sizes and areas	Vector plan (walls, doors, windows, furniture) in an editor. On the 2D canvas we got, rooms carried no names or sizes; floor area and exterior size are in the side panel	Image (our download: a 2752 × 1536 JPG) in one of several styles (technical, colored, 3D…)	A 2D/3D project you build in the editor: walls, rooms, doors, windows, furniture	Schematic floor plan plus a furnished view; 3D model; exterior renders (their home page)
Dimensions add up?	Yes. Dimension strings, room sizes and areas are read from the geometry; on our test plan the right-hand chain 18'-1" + 19'-8" + 5'-3" + 10'-6" = 53'-6", exactly the overall depth	Side panel: floor area 1,850 sq ft, exterior 43'6" × 43'6". The 1,800 sq ft brief was read as the total including the 2-car garage. No dimension strings on the canvas view	No. Room widths across the house: 22' garage + 6' laundry + 18' living + 15' master + 11'-6" master bath = 72'-6", under a 62'-0" overall dimension	Yes, because you set them: a manual editor shows the sizes you draw	Not measured by us yet. Their FAQ: imperial and metric units
Exports	PDF plan set, DXF (AutoCAD, layered), IFC (Revit, Archicad), GLB, CSV room schedule, PNG	PDF or DXF (Homeowner plan and up); share link; renders	PNG/JPG; DXF via a separate Image-to-DXF trace of the picture	Export to CAD only on Professional; images and renders on lower plans	PDF, AutoCAD DXF, IFC; generate floor plans inside Revit
Price	$19/month or $190/year, subscribed on floorplan.ai-architectures.com; no free tier	Free: 30 credits (one plan = 20 credits). Homeowner $20/month, 300 credits. Pro $100/month, 3,000 credits (public pricing page)	Starter $9.99/month billed yearly ($119) or $19.99 monthly, 200 credits; $29.99 one-time for 200 credits (upsell modal); 1 credit = 1 Basic, 4 = 1 Pro generation	Free €0; Premium $19.99 monthly or $59.99/year; Professional $49.99 monthly or $399.99/year (public pricing page)	"Free to start", paid plans for more generations, renders and exports; no public price list (drafted.ai/pricing returned 404 on 2026-10-08)
