In their own words
iScape
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.
Sweet Home 3D
Sweet Home 3D is an interior design application for drawing home plans and viewing them in 3D. In its 2D plan, users can draw straight, round, or sloping walls with precise dimensions and add room areas, dimension lines, text, arrows, and a compass rose. A live 3D view shows the design from above or from a virtual visitor’s perspective as the plan is built. The software can render images and videos with adjustable lights and sunlight based on time of day and geographic location. It imports blueprints, 3D models, and textures, and can print or export PDFs, images, videos, and 3D files in standard formats. The free desktop and online version costs nothing; downloadable editions have smaller furniture and texture catalogs. Sweet Home 3D Online Manager runs in a compatible browser, but free registration is required to save designs. The Microsoft Store Monthly Premium subscription costs $9.99 a month and includes a 7-day free trial. Desktop editions are available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
