Room planners compared: price, billing and reviews
Which room planner is best?
It depends on the job. For a homeowner planning a room or renovation over a few months, Free Room Planner is the cheapest paid option we could verify ($11 a month, no credits), has the highest Trustpilot score here (4.7 from 48 reviews), and drawing to scale is free with no account. If you’ll design all year, Planner 5D’s yearly plan ($59.99) costs less overall. For branded plans for clients, RoomSketcher suits better; for photo-real renders, Homestyler.

Prices in USD from each company’s pricing page: ours include tax, the others’ are before any sales tax; Trustpilot scores from each company’s Trustpilot page. Prices checked 19 October 2026, Trustpilot scores 18 October 2026. Prices and scores change, so follow the links for the latest.

Why monthly matters for a home project
Most people plan a kitchen, bathroom or extension over a few weeks or months. A yearly plan means paying for months you won’t use. Free Room Planner’s plans are monthly only: subscribe while you plan, cancel yourself in Account & billing when the job is done, and refund a payment within 14 days of being charged in the UK and EU (3 days elsewhere) if it wasn’t what you needed.
