AgroForest Designer vs Hortus Plan

AgroForest Designer is web software for planning food forests and other layered planting systems. It lets users map site boundaries over map, satellite, combined, or orthomap views, then add features, planting zones, and paths. Its public plant database can be filtered by growing conditions and includes reusable recipes, cultivars, and personal plant records. The generator creates an editable proposal from a recipe, planting area, density, objectives, and a 1-, 5-, 10-, or 20-year horizon. Other planning tools show sun paths and indicative shade, elevation contours, distances and areas, and harvest periods. Professional plans include technical drawings, plan sharing, QGIS workflows, and selected GeoJSON, project-data, and 3D model exports. The shade model omits terrain and objects beyond the plan, so critical conditions need on-site verification. The Free plan is free; paid plans start at €14.99 a month. Free and Starter omit professional delivery tools.
