Planix vs Planner 5D

Planix turns a plain-English project brief into dimensioned 2D floor plans, an interactive 3D model, and preliminary engineering outputs. A mathematical solver places walls, rooms, and columns. The pipeline supplies country-aware structural defaults, a bill of quantities, a cost estimate, and engineering notes for review by a licensed engineer. Users inspect walls and openings in a browser WebGL viewport and download AutoCAD-compatible DXF and PDF files; listed export formats also include IFC, OBJ, and STL. Planix Analyze accepts IFC, PDF, DXF, Excel, image, CSV, and DWG files for preliminary structural or civil analysis. Planix Connect is a Windows desktop agent for installed AutoCAD, with AutoCAD 2018+ and Revit 2021+ compatibility listed; Revit and SketchUp support is beta. Connect does not yet support structural drawings inside AutoCAD or Revit, mixed-use buildings, or irregular plots. Files use private storage and signed download URLs. The Free plan costs nothing and allows 10 plan generations monthly.

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.
