Too Many Features Locked Behind Paywall.

Limited Precision for Professionals Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’ve been using Planner 5D since 2020, and in that time, it has become my go-to tool for modeling homes, planning renovations, and helping others visualize their spaces. Over the years, I’ve used it to model both of the houses I’ve rented, making it easier to experiment with layouts, furniture placement, and interior designs before committing to any real-world changes.

One of the things I appreciate most is how intuitive the platform is. Whether I’m sketching out a rough floor plan or diving into precise measurements, Planner 5D makes it easy to bring ideas to life. The drag-and-drop interface is smooth, the catalog of furniture and materials is extensive, and the ability to switch between 2D and 3D views provides a level of detail that’s incredibly helpful when planning.

Beyond my own homes, friends often call me to model their houses or help with design projects. Whether they’re rearranging a space, remodeling a room, or just brainstorming possibilities, Planner 5D gives us a realistic preview of what works and what doesn’t. The ability to quickly adjust dimensions, test out furniture arrangements, and even tweak lighting conditions makes it an invaluable tool for both casual users and serious planners.

Final Verdict

Despite these wishes, Planner 5D remains indispensable and is by far one of the best home design tools available. After years of use, I can confidently say it deserves 5 stars for its ease of use, powerful features, and ability to help turn ideas into reality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A Few Small Wishes

As much as I love the app, there are a few small features I wish it had:

• A button to snap objects’ “height from floor” to match the floor height they are in or above.

• A way to categorize custom texture uploads for better organization.

• An option to lock object dimension ratios before adjusting depth, height, or width, allowing percentage-based resizing that automatically applies to all dimensions. As it stands, I have to manually calculate all three values when resizing objects while maintaining aspect ratio.

• A simple way to copy and paste RGB colors for consistency across materials and objects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Planner 5D has made designing my space so easy and fun! The interface is intuitive, and I love the wide selection of templates and items available. It’s been super helpful for visualizing renovations before actually starting them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some advanced features are locked behind a paywall, but their subscriptions are very well priced so there's a solution for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Beside the ease of using the program its the support. I have had two challenges in the 10 years I have used the program and both times there was someone there who put it all back together for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

sometimes i face restrictions in the construction phase of the design but I usually work around it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I enjoy the fact that the controls are easy to use and for kids to pick up on. We use it as a design challenge and kids are able to build and design their own homes with specific features. The company is also very easy to work with and gives out free educational licenses to use with students that allow them full access to the catalog. If there are ever any technical issues, the company responds right away and is super helpful when resolving issues. The kids really enjoy building with the software and it is perfect for middle school level students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tutorial videos are pretty fast to follow and I have to show students how to slow down their speed. It would be great also if there were voices that talked you through what they are doing to help you understand tricky skills like adding stairs and a second floor.

it allows the creation of interior and architectural projects in a very visual and intuitive way, without requiring advanced technical knowledge. It stands out in some specific areas:

Simple interface and drag-and-drop: You can set up rooms, insert furniture, and decorate just by dragging elements, great for those who want to test ideas quickly.

Real-time 2D and 3D visualization: You draw the floor plan in 2D and can see the result in 3D immediately, which greatly aids in understanding space and aesthetics.

Huge library of objects: There are thousands of furniture, decorations, colors, and textures to use, allowing for highly personalized projects.

Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality mode: If you want, you can even explore the project as if you were walking inside it.

Accessible online and via app: You can use it both on the computer and on a mobile phone or tablet, which is great for working from anywhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I believe there should be more promotions to use the premium version of the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that Planner 5D is customizable to meet my particular home-buying needs. I needed to know how my current home furniture would fit in my new home in Colorado. This software was very intuitive to use and met my specific need to fit furniture long distance. Also, Planner 5D provided a 3D rendition of my house project which gave me a real life feel of what my furniture would look and feel like in my new home. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I honestly cannot think of any downsides of Planner 5D. Sorry! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s pretty easy to use even if you don’t have any experience with CAD. It contains everything you need to create and share your design Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it’s not really convenient to edit precisely your plan, working with walls can be better to be honest Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’m not a designer at all, but I managed to do my whole project in Planner 5D. It’s really easy to use, and the fact that it can turn images into 3D objects was such a great find! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it really has everything needed, no concerns Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Planner 5D is how easy it can be to design, from an image to letting your imagination run wild. It's intuitive and they keep adding more design tools. Personally, I recommend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I don't like about Planner 5D is that it's not very clear about the costs, whether the charge is in dollars, pesos, or euros. I think they should be clearer. Besides, in the non-premium version, they only give you 5% of the products, which isn't even enough for the basics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
