Coohom vs Home Designer

Coohom is a 3D cloud design platform for taking interior projects from floor plans to rendered images and sharing. Uploading a floor plan image lets the service detect walls and dimensions for a 3D project. Its furniture catalog includes models and dimensions from brands such as IKEA, West Elm, and CB2. A Budget Widget tracks project costs as items are added and can export an itemized PDF. The free Starter plan includes 10 renders per month, more than 3,000 catalog items, and three shareable links, but excludes 360° panorama and photo-to-3D import. Pro Monthly costs $9 a month and includes unlimited 4K renders, a 10K+ premium catalog, panorama links, photo-to-3D import, priority cloud rendering, and watermark-free exports. Coohom runs in a browser and offers Windows and macOS desktop apps, with account data synchronized between desktop and web. Clients can view shared deliverables without an account.

Home Designer is 3D home, interior, and remodeling software for DIY users, based on Chief Architect’s professional architectural software. Drawing walls creates a 3D model, and edits to walls, doors, or windows update framing, roofs, and foundations. Items added to a design appear in a materials list for cost estimating and budgeting. Cabinets snap and adapt to walls, while Material Painter lets users visualize different colors and styles. The 3D Library offers manufacturer-specific and generic catalogs; users can also import third-party 3D objects, materials, and colors. Designs are compatible with Chief Architect’s professional product line and can be shared through the Chief Architect 3D Viewer app. Home Designer is listed for Windows, macOS, web, iOS, and Android. The maker identifies version 2027 as available for PC and Mac, with one license that works natively on both. Monthly pricing is $79 a month, and annual pricing is $495 a year. There is no free plan, but a trial does not expire; it excludes saving, printing, exporting, and virtual tours. The one-person license can be installed on multiple computers for personal use, but only one can be active at a time.
