Cedreo vs Planner 5D

Cedreo is cloud-based 3D home design software for housing professionals, including home builders, contractors, remodelers, and interior designers. It runs in a browser without a download or installation. The software supports terrain, site, floor, cross-section, elevation, and roof plans, plus surface-area tables. Site-plan tools cover property boundaries, setbacks, terrain grades, elevation points, and contour lines. Cedreo turns 2D plans into photorealistic 3D renderings for construction and remodeling projects. Its free plan costs nothing and includes one project and five photorealistic renderings, with limited furnishing, room symbols, furniture, and materials; renderings are watermarked for personal use. The free account is accessible for three years, after which the project is deleted if the account has not been upgraded. All plans include the Knowledge Base and tutorial videos. Professional and Enterprise subscribers also get a dedicated Success Manager reachable by phone, chat, or email. Cedreo recommends a stable internet connection and recent browser, and publishes Windows and Mac system requirements on its pricing page.
