FloorLens vs Planner 5D

FloorLens turns LiDAR scans of rooms and homes into measured floor plans, textured 3D models, and tours viewable in a browser. It automatically measures wall lengths, room areas, ceiling heights, and object dimensions, while allowing users to edit walls and objects. Shared scans open in dollhouse, floor-plan, or first-person photo views without requiring a viewer to install an app or create an account. The app can align plans to magnetic north and model the sun position and shadows for the scan location. Exports include measured PDFs, JPG, PNG, and SVG views, GLB, USDZ, and OBJ models, and MP4 fly-throughs. Country profiles include area conventions such as ANSI Z765, Gross Internal Area, RMS, WoFlV, and SIA 416; results are scan estimates, not surveys. Scanning and measurements run on the device, and uploads happen only when users choose to share. An account is optional; shared scans can be deleted from the cloud through the app. The free plan includes one web scan. The app requires iOS 26 and a LiDAR-capable iPhone 12 Pro or later or iPad Pro; there is no Android version.

Planner 5D lets users create home, landscape, and office floor plans and designs in 2D and 3D. Users can draw plans, furnish and decorate rooms, and switch between the two views. Its AI tools are described as helping generate ideas, explore layouts, and test styles. Existing JPG, PNG, PDF, DWG, and DXF plans can be uploaded for recognition; PRO users can export 2D plans in DWG or DXF. The free plan costs nothing, has no time limit, and includes unlimited projects, core 2D/3D design, and half the furniture catalogue. Paid pricing is listed from $19.99/mo. Premium is $59.99 a year; Professional is $399.99 a year. Projects sync across supported devices using the same account, but Android-only subscriptions do not support cross-platform synchronization. Planner 5D lists Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows. It is described for non-professionals, homeowners, renovators, design enthusiasts, interior designers, architects, and studios.
