3D Event Designer vs GoodEvent Layout

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.

GoodEvent Layout is web software for building visual floor plans for weddings, conferences, festivals, and other events. Drag-and-drop tools work with pre-made layouts for weddings, expos, and festivals, plus hundreds of icons for bars, chairs, marquees, trees, and other items. Users can create custom add-ons for their equipment and add ceremony seating or seated table plans. Listed structures include frame tents, Clearspan marquees, stretch tents, tipis, yurts, sail tents, pole tents, and pagodas. Teams can collaborate in real time, give staff editing access, and share view-only interactive links with clients or vendors. Links support comments and access from any device, including phones used by on-site crews. The free plan allows three projects and 50 objects per plan, with a GoodEvent watermark on PNG exports. Starter is $32 a month, billed annually at $25/mo, with unlimited projects and unwatermarked PDF/SVG export.
