Verdict
Planner 5D lets anyone draw a floor plan, drop in furniture and walk round it in 3D on a phone or browser, and its newer AI tools turn an uploaded floor plan into a 3D project and restyle a room photo. TechRadar rated it an excellent service but found it slowed a MacBook to a crawl. Half the furniture catalogue is free, the rest costs £19.99 a month or £59.99 a year, and Trustpilot reviews average 2.7 from 790.

Ratings
What people say
Hobby users like how quickly it produces a usable room, but user comments mostly concern cost, with paywalled furniture and renders and an accidental subscription that Apple would not refund. Planner 5D's own X account posts far more than its users do. Store stars (4.37 on Google Play) are much higher than Trustpilot's 2.7.

Press reviews
- TechRadar 2025-04-29
'an excellent service' that is easy to use and customise, 'marred by intense resource hogging' that slowed the test laptop.
- TechRadar (best interior design software) 2025
Listed fifth; 'surprisingly easy, and almost effortless', with a free tier that has 'a fair number of restrictions'.
- Lifehacker 2025-08-20
Its free version requires 'fiddling with a suite of tools and inputting measurements', unlike scan-based apps.
