Speed matters in sales. When a client describes their dream home, you need a floor plan now — not in 3 weeks. Floorpln generates 3 professional variations in 3 seconds. Show options on-site, on an iPad, during the first meeting.
No learning curve. Tools like Cedreo and RoomSketcher require hours of training to use effectively. Floorpln requires zero training — enter specs, get plans. Your newest sales rep can use it on day one.
Pay per plan, not per month. Most floor plan software charges $49–$249/month whether you use it or not. Floorpln is $4.99 per download — no subscription, no commitment, no waste.
Built for builders, not homeowners. Floorpln includes room schedules, material takeoffs, build cost estimates, and CAD export. These aren't features tacked on for professionals — they're the core of the product.
Floorpln uses AI to generate complete floor plans from specs in 3 seconds — you don't draw anything. Cedreo and RoomSketcher require you to manually draw walls, place doors, and arrange rooms, which takes 30–60 minutes even for experienced users. Floorpln is designed for builders who need fast concept plans, not detailed design work.
No — Floorpln generates draft-level concept plans for early-stage client discussions, sales presentations, and feasibility studies. When a client approves a concept, you still need an architect or drafter for permit-ready construction documents. Floorpln saves you the $1,200+ and 2–3 week wait for preliminary concepts.
Floorpln uses AI to generate plans algorithmically — there's no manual drafting labor. This lets us offer plans at $4.99 instead of $100+/month subscriptions. You only pay when you download, and generation + preview is always free.
Yes. Floorpln exports DXF files compatible with AutoCAD, SketchUp, and other CAD software. Your architect or drafter can use the DXF as a starting point for construction documents, saving hours of redrawing.
