Blophome vs iScape

Blophome is an interior design application for creating and decorating spaces in 3D, with photorealistic rendering. Its maker says rendering runs on its servers while users continue drawing on their computers. Projects can use 3D products from manufacturer catalogs, including IKEA, Roca, Samsung and Cosentino; users can also publish projects on Blophome’s portal and receive comments. In the browser version, collaborators can work on one project simultaneously and see one another’s actions in real time. The Professional version adds dimension drawings, automatically applied wall dimensions and high-resolution dimension plans. Blophome is available on the web, Windows and macOS. The online version requires an HTML5-supporting browser, and the maker recommends an uninterrupted connection above 10 Mb. The free Classic plan costs nothing and includes standard rendering 5/day and 24 manufacturer catalogs. Monthly plans include Premium Catalogs Medium at $6 a month, Premium Renders at $9 a month, Premium Images at $11 a month, Premium Catalogs Full at $27 a month, and Professional Full at $40 a month. Premium subscriptions renew automatically by default; generated catalogs remain on the maker’s servers for six months after the subscription period.

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.
