FloorGen vs Floorplanner
Both run in the browser and draw 2D plans with a 3D view. Floorplanner is freemium, with a very large furniture library and paid high-resolution renders; FloorGen is free in full, with scaled drawings and CAD export. Checked October 2026 against Floorplanner's own pricing and help pages.

We make FloorGen, so read this with that in mind. Every Floorplanner fact below comes from floorplanner.com, its help center or its product updates, and where those pages disagree we say so. Floorplanner's subscription prices load only in the browser and did not appear when we checked, so we quote its credit prices and leave the monthly plans out.

On the free Basic plan, Floorplanner's pricing page says you can keep up to 5 projects, each limited to 3 floors and 3 designs, exporting 960 × 540 images with a Floorplanner watermark and a 10-minute cooldown between exports. Two of its help articles still say a free project has one floor and one design. Upgrading a project with credits removes the watermark, raises the export to HD, 4K or 8K, and allows up to 7 floors.
Where Floorplanner is the better choice
- Presentation renders. Photorealistic 3D renders up to 8K (7680 × 4320) and VR-ready 3D tours on upgraded projects. FloorGen has no photoreal rendering.
- A far larger library. Hundreds of thousands of models, many from real furniture brands, and the full library is open on the free plan. FloorGen has about 3,000 generic models.
- Teams and branding. Team, Business and Enterprise accounts with sub-users and roles, and your logo on images from the Pro plan. FloorGen has no team accounts and no real-time co-editing.
- Scanning on an iPhone. The free Floorscanner app turns an iPhone scan (Apple RoomPlan) into a Floorplanner project. FloorGen does not scan.
- Pay once per project. Credits upgrade a single project and stay valid for 5 years, so an occasional user need not subscribe.
- An embeddable editor. Its API lets companies embed the editor in their own site.
Where FloorGen is the better choice
- No account and no paywall on output. Start drawing without signing up, and export PNG up to 4,500 px wide, PDF and SVG with no cooldown or credits (free exports may carry a small FloorGen badge).
- No project cap and no per-project upgrades. Every project gets every feature.
- Scaled drawings. Print sets at a real scale on Letter up to ARCH D or A1 with a title block, plus elevations and sections generated from the plan.
- CAD export. DXF (R12) on named layers for AutoCAD, LibreCAD or QCAD, and glTF for Blender. We found no DWG or DXF export in Floorplanner's pages.
- Checks and quantities. Code profiles (IRC, NBC, OBC, UK, DIN, CDMX) flag small rooms and steep stairs, and the schedules give paint, flooring and tile quantities.
- A video file. An MP4 walkthrough at 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1 that you can post anywhere.
- AI agents. An MCP server lets Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor edit the plan.
Switching from Floorplanner
FloorGen has no importer for Floorplanner projects or its FML files. What carries over is a picture of the plan, which you trace:
- Export the largest 2D image you have from Floorplanner, with dimensions showing. A free 960 × 540 export works for a simple plan; an upgraded project's PDF or HD image traces more accurately.
- Open the trace tool in FloorGen (the button above starts a project ready to trace) and pick the file.
- Set the scale by clicking both ends of the longest dimension on the image and typing its real length.
- Accept the suggested walls or draw over them, then add doors, windows and furniture again from FloorGen's library.
- Check two or three room sizes against the original before you trust the new plan.
Questions
Is Floorplanner free?
It has a free Basic plan: up to 5 projects, watermarked 960 × 540 exports and a 10-minute cooldown, according to its pricing page. Higher resolutions and more floors are paid per project with credits or by subscription.
Can I open a Floorplanner project in FloorGen?
Not directly. Export an image or PDF of the plan from Floorplanner and trace it in FloorGen; converting a floor plan image covers the steps.
Which one has more furniture?
Floorplanner, by a wide margin: its pages claim 150,000 to over 260,000 models. FloorGen has about 3,000, each of which you can resize.
Does either export DWG?
We found no DWG export in either. FloorGen exports DXF (R12), which most CAD programs open; we found no DXF export on Floorplanner's pages.
