Layroom vs
Floorplanner.
Floorplanner is built for real-estate listings: clean floor plans, dimensioned, exportable. Layroom is built for the walk-through: trace, place, step inside. Both touch floor plans; only one cares about the room.
Why you're here
- 01“Free tier caps at two plans, which I burn through in a week.”
- 02“It outputs a 2D listing-grade plan; I want to walk through the room.”
- 03“The 3D mode is a snapshot, not a real walk-through.”
- 04“Built for real-estate agents; I am not selling a listing.”
What it is
Floorplanner is a Dutch web-based tool, founded 2007, used heavily by real-estate agencies and listing portals. The output is a clean 2D plan with optional 3D rendering and dimensioned exports. Subscription-based, with a free tier limited to two plans.
Where Layroom is different
- 01Trace from a phone photo, not from a blank canvas. Floorplanner starts you on an empty grid.
- 02The 3D view is the product. Floorplanner's 3D is an export option, not the main act.
- 03A live walkable 3D view with no render credits or queues.
- 04Free editor without a plan cap. Floorplanner's free tier caps at two plans.
- 05Browser-native real-time rendering. Floorplanner exports 2D images and 3D snapshots.
Where Floorplanner still wins
- 01Dimensioned exports for real estate. Floorplanner produces measured 2D plans ready for listings.
- 02Mature real-estate integrations. Partnerships with listing portals.
- 03Established 2D drafting accuracy. Wall lengths, room labels, square meterage.

Switching over
- What transfers
- Nothing automatic. Layroom does not import Floorplanner project files.

- Time cost
- Re-tracing a single-room plan: 1 to 3 minutes. Multi-room plans scale linearly.
Common questions
- Is Layroom a Floorplanner alternative for real-estate listings?
- No. If you need dimensioned 2D plans for listings, stay on Floorplanner. Layroom is for getting inside the room, not for producing the plan that goes on a portal.
- Can I export a dimensioned 2D plan from Layroom?
- Not today. Layroom outputs a walkable 3D room, not a measured 2D drawing.
- Does Layroom have a plan cap?
- The free tier syncs one scene to your account; anonymous mode lets you draw unlimited plans per browser session (lost on tab close). Floorplanner free caps at two plans.
- Can I add my agency logo to Layroom exports?
- Not today. Layroom is for direct use, not white-label. Floorplanner's Business tier supports custom branding.
Which one to pick
Pick Floorplanner if you produce real-estate listings and you need dimensioned 2D exports. Pick Layroom if your job is to see what the room would feel like, not to put a plan on a listing page.
