3D Event Designer vs E3D Planner

3D Event Designer is browser-based software for building 2D and 3D floor plans for events and other spaces. It supports event layouts, buffet and beverage diagrams, tent plans, seating charts, and inventory lists. Plans can be viewed from eye level or above in 3D. Users can make reusable templates or choose from the Floor Plan Gallery, which can help when creating similar layouts. The software includes thousands of furniture and decor options, and users can ask about incorporating their own inventory. Interactive plans can be shared by email, with clients given editing rights. It lists Agilysys and Alert integrations; website integration through its API is an add-on. It runs in a browser on computers, tablets, iPads, and phones without a download, and supports English, Spanish, French, and German. Plans start at $14.95/user/mo, and there is no free version. All plans include email support and training videos; Pro and Enterprise also include phone support and one-on-one online training.
