What it is

iScape is a landscape design app for visualizing outdoor projects before work begins. Create 2D or 3D augmented reality designs using photos of a yard or job site, then add plants, pavers, furniture, hardscape elements, and other materials from its library. Share designs with clients, family, or landscape installation professionals for feedback. The free plan includes 2D and 3D design but limits database and feature access, including the range of plants, hardscapes, and products. Pro adds full access to the database and features, thousands of materials, image uploads, and a tool for creating customizable PDF proposals with pricing and business and contact information. Pro is listed at $29.99 per month; PRO annual is $299.99 per year. Enterprise lists multiple licenses, premium support, customization, and integrations, but no price. A Pro trial with access to all features is available, with no duration specified. iScape is available on iOS, Android, and macOS; the annual plan specifies 2D and 3D design on iOS only.

iScape in depth

Read the full write-up

iScape is an outdoor design app for homeowners and landscape professionals who want to plan around photographs of a real yard or job site. It is strongest as a visual planning and feedback tool; its professional proposal features come with a paid plan.

Overview

By building designs over site photos, iScape gives users a concrete way to consider outdoor changes before work begins. Sharing lets homeowners gather feedback from family and professionals discuss concepts with clients or installers. The approach is a better fit for visual planning than for readers seeking a general-purpose home design tool.

The free plan includes 2D and 3D design, but limits database and feature access, including the range of plants, hardscapes and products. That makes it a useful starting point, not a dependable route to exploring the full materials selection. Full access and proposals require Pro.

Key features

Photo-based design and materials

Users can create 2D or 3D augmented reality designs on photos of a yard or job site, using plants, pavers, furniture and other hardscape elements from the materials library. This grounds choices in the space being changed, which is useful for planning and discussion. Planting plans are supported as well. The limited free database may restrict how far a design can develop before upgrading.

Sharing and proposals

Designs can be shared with clients, family or landscape installation professionals for feedback. Pro adds customizable PDF proposals with pricing, business information and contact information, making it the more relevant option for professionals who need to present a project as well as visualize it. Enterprise adds multiple licenses, premium customer support, customization and integrations; it is aimed at organizations needing a multi-license arrangement, though the integrations are not named.

Pricing

The free plan costs nothing and includes 2D and 3D design, but limits features and database access, with reduced access to plants, hardscapes and products. It suits initial exploration, but users needing the broader catalog should expect to pay.

Pro costs $29.99 a month, billed monthly. It includes full database and feature access, thousands of plants, hardscapes and products, the proposal tool and the ability to upload your own images. This is the practical choice for regular use or client proposals, but the monthly price is a meaningful step up from free.

PRO annual costs $299.99 a year, billed annually, per user license. It includes full database and features, proposals, image uploads and 2D and 3D design, with 2D and 3D listed for iOS only. At the stated rates, the annual plan costs less than twelve months of Pro billed monthly, but the per-user license matters for teams. Enterprise has custom pricing and includes multiple licenses, premium support, customization and integrations.

Platforms

iScape supports iOS, Android and macOS. The Pro annual plan specifies 2D and 3D design on iOS only, so users should not assume that plan's design capabilities are identical across platforms. The service may collect personal, usage and location data; location collection is subject to user permission. Its privacy policy says commercially acceptable measures are used to protect personal data but cannot guarantee absolute security.

Who it's for

iScape is a good fit for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts who want to visualize a yard change on a photo, and for landscape professionals who share concepts or prepare priced proposals. Hobbyists can start free, but the reduced catalog may frustrate anyone trying to compare a broad range of materials. It is less compelling for occasional users who need full library access, since that requires a paid plan.

Pros and cons

Pros: Photo-based 2D and 3D design ties planning to an actual yard or job site.

Pros: The library covers plants, pavers, furniture and hardscape elements, and planting plans are supported.

Pros: Sharing supports feedback, while Pro proposals give professionals a customizable PDF format with pricing and business contact information.

Cons: The free plan restricts the database and product selection, limiting the scope of no-cost design work.

Cons: Full access starts at $29.99 a month, which may be hard to justify for occasional personal projects.

Cons: The annual plan specifies 2D and 3D design for iOS only, a relevant constraint for users choosing a plan by platform.

Alternatives

For broader home-design comparisons, Planner 5D has a free plan and runs on Android, iOS, macOS, web and Windows; its Premium plan is $59.99 a year and includes floor-plan conversion and a full premium furniture catalog. Choose it when interior planning and cross-platform reach matter more than iScape's outdoor-focused materials and proposals.

Sweet Home 3D offers a free desktop and online version, with desktop support for Windows, macOS and Linux and an online version requiring free registration. It is an alternative for readers looking for a free home-design option rather than iScape's landscape-specific workflow.

Live Home 3D has a free iPhone, iPad and Vision app, with in-app Standard and Pro subscriptions and lifetime licenses. Consider it when that device focus and its subscription or lifetime-license options suit better.

Home Design 3D has a freemium plan and runs on Android, iOS, macOS and Windows. Its Premium Weekly plan for iOS and macOS costs $2.99 a month, billed one week with auto-renewal, and gives unlimited access to app features; choose it when that plan structure fits better than iScape's landscape-focused paid tiers.

RoomSketcher offers a free plan with two credits, one free AI floor-plan conversion, 2D and 3D floor plans, 3D snapshots and AI Render. It is the more relevant option for floor-plan work rather than outdoor landscape visualization.

Coohom has a free Starter plan with a 3,000-plus furniture catalog, 10 renders per month and three shareable links, but no 360° panorama or photo-to-3D imaging. Pick it when a free interior-oriented catalog and renders are the priority.

Home Designer is a paid option with a free trial and a Home Designer Monthly Subscription at $79 a month. It suits readers considering a higher-priced monthly home-design subscription instead of a landscape-specific app.

Blophome offers a free Classic plan with five standard renders per day and 24 manufacturer catalogs, plus a Premium Catalogs Medium plan at $6 a month. Consider it when those catalog and rendering terms better match the project.

Browse 3D Landscape Design Software for more options in this category, or 3D Home Design Software for broader home-design tools.

Verdict

Choose iScape if you want to visualize an outdoor project on a site photo and, as a professional, share designs or prepare customizable proposals. Its strongest reason to choose is the combination of landscape materials and photo-based 2D and 3D planning. Look elsewhere if the free catalog is too restrictive or if you need broader home-design coverage without paying for full access.

Verdict

iScape combines visual planning, a materials library, and design sharing, with proposals available on Pro. Check the free-plan limits and platform details against the way you plan to use it.
