Pros

“I especially liked how quickly I could create a full home layout and visualize it in 3D.”

Jonathan R.

Engineering Lead

“Planner 5D is a great tool to have in the digital toolbox. When redesigning our office space, it made it very convenient to get a visual of the design before construction began. Although we haven't used it much or needed it for many projects, Planner 5D is something we will always come back to when needed.”

Cons

“The main downside for me is the pricing. While I understand the value of the product, the cost is quite high for users in countries with weaker currencies like Egypt.”

“The app itself is fine for basic floor planning, but not nearly as functional as other alternatives.”

Director

“Their customer service is completely unhelpful, just copy-pasting the same excuses rather than actually solving the problem.”

Cons

“Simplified Material Editor: Lacks the deep, node-based complexity found in engines like V-Ray or Corona.”

Architect

“Some high-quality assets can be heavy for lower-end GPUs, and certain advanced features are limited to the Pro version, which can be challenging for students.”

“This can be limiting for users who want access to a wider variety of assets but do not have the budget to upgrade.”
