QCAD Professional vs RoomSketcher

QCAD Professional is 2D CAD software for technical drawings such as building plans, mechanical parts, and diagrams. It runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Drawing tools include layers, blocks, construction and modification commands, object snaps, measuring, and scaled multipage printing. The Professional edition reads and writes DWG and DXF through version R32, covering 2018–2026, and supports PDF, SVG, bitmap, DWF, and DGN formats. Its Library Browser offers more than 5,000 CAD parts as free add-ons. An ECMAScript (JavaScript) interface supports creating and modifying entities and building interactive CAD tools. Command-line utilities batch-convert drawings to PDF, SVG, bitmaps, and other formats. QCAD offers Professional trial packages and a free, open-source Community Edition. The single-user perpetual license can be installed on multiple computers and operating systems for one user, with new-version updates included for one year. The download plan costs 48.00 USD once.

RoomSketcher is floor plan and home design software for making layouts, furnishing and decorating rooms, and viewing designs in 3D. AI Convert takes a JPG, PNG, or PDF plan and turns walls, doors, and windows into editable project elements in under five seconds. FloorCapture uses LiDAR on an iPhone or iPad to capture a property and produce an editable floor plan. Outputs include 2D and 3D plans, AI renders, Live 3D walkthroughs, and 360 views. Projects are stored in the cloud and available across devices; the app also works offline and syncs again when connected. It runs on Windows, Mac, iPad, and Android tablets. Phones use the web portal and cannot draw or edit floor plans in the app. Credits cover projects, several visual outputs, AI Convert, FloorCapture, and ordered plans. A free plan is available; Pro costs $12 a month billed annually ($144 per year).
