Poché compared with Planner 5D, RoomSketcher, Floorplanner and magicplan — what each one asks you to do first, what its free tier really includes, and which to pick for which job. Every competitor figure here was read off that company's own live pricing page on 21 August 2026, with the source and date recorded beside the claim.
Poché has exactly one honest differentiator, and everything else it does ladders to it: no redrawing.
You upload the builder's floor plan PDF, or a photograph of a printed plan. Poché reads the drawing scale off the sheet — from the wall thicknesses on a CAD-printed plan, or from the dimension strings printed on the drawing when what you have is a photo — and recovers every room's outline and floor area from the wall mass itself. Then you place furniture at true dimensions, on the architect's own linework, with clearance rules that redline on overlap and go amber when a walkway pinches.
Every other tool on this page begins by asking you to produce the plan: draw it, trace an image of it, pay for a conversion, or go and scan the building. All four are legitimate, and each is better than Poché at something. But if the drawing already exists, reading it is a measurement problem rather than a drawing problem — and that is the gap this tool was built into.
What Poché does not have, said once and plainly: no 3D. It was built and then deliberately removed, because it took effort away from the question the tool exists to answer. There are no renders, no walkthroughs and no photorealistic images of anything. If that is what you want, three of the four tools below do it well and the comparison pages say so.
| Tool | What it asks you to do first | Free tier | 3D |
|---|---|---|---|
| Poché | Uploading the plan you already have. It reads the scale off the sheet and the rooms off the walls | Everything — there is no paid tier. Account needed to upload; the demo needs none | None |
| Planner 5D | Building the space, or putting a plan image through the AI Floor Plan Converter | Unlimited projects, 50% of the catalogue. Plan upload and the full 10,000+ catalogue are Premium ($4.99/mo billed annually) | Yes — renders, 360° panorama, walkthrough on higher tiers |
| RoomSketcher | Drawing the plan, tracing over one, AI-converting one, or ordering one from their illustrators | Draw and furnish free, 10-project archive. Renders $4 each, AI Convert $20/floor, watermarked snapshots. Pro $12/mo billed $144/yr | Yes — 3D Snapshots, 3D Photos, 360 Views, Live 3D |
| Floorplanner | Drawing the space, or inserting a plan image and scaling it to 1:1 yourself to trace over | 5 projects, 3 floors and 3 designs each, full 260,000-model library, SD 960 × 540 exports with a watermark | Yes — real-time 3D, renders up to 8K |
| magicplan | Walking the building and capturing it — manual, laser-assisted, or LiDAR on an iOS Pro device | 2 free projects, then per job site from $25/project on a 24-month plan; plans start at 10 projects a month | Not the product's purpose — it produces measured plans, documentation and estimates |
Prices, limits and features change. Every figure above was correct on the vendor's own page on 21 August 2026 — check theirs before you decide anything on ours. The individual comparison pages carry the exact source URL beside each claim.
These are written to be useful if you end up choosing the other tool. Each one has a section on when to pick them instead, and it is not a formality.
Planner 5D builds a 3D model of your home and has a 10,000-plus item catalogue; its plan upload sits behind Premium. Where the free tiers differ, what the AI converter really produces, and why 120 million users is a fair thing for them to say.
RoomSketcher's product is the floor plan document — drawn, traced, AI-converted or ordered from their own illustrators from $18 a floor. Exactly what the free Pay As You Go plan includes, line by line, and when paying them is the right call.
Floorplanner will insert your plan image and let you scale it and trace it — and hands every user 260,000 3D models for nothing. Tracing versus measuring, the credit ladder from SD to 8K, and where their free tier genuinely wins.
magicplan measures a building you are standing in — LiDAR, laser, moisture maps, Xactimate exports — and is priced per job site for restoration crews. The cleanest split on this page: does the house exist yet, and can you get inside it?
Not a head-to-head. Five tests a free planner should pass, where each one's free tier actually stops, and why the thing a tool meters tells you what it is really selling.
There is a reasonable argument for using two of them. Read the plan in one, make it pretty in another. Nothing here is exclusive and all five have a free tier you can test in an evening.
Comparison pages have a bad reputation for good reasons, so the method here is deliberately boring.
If a figure here is out of date or wrong, it is a mistake rather than a tactic, and it will be corrected.
One thing: no redrawing. You upload the builder's floor plan PDF, or a photograph of a printed plan, and Poché reads the drawing scale off the sheet and recovers every room's outline and floor area from the walls themselves. Every other tool in this comparison begins by asking you to draw the space, trace over an image of it, pay for a conversion, or go and scan the building. Poché works on the drawing that already exists, and adds true-scale furniture with clearance rules on top of it.
No. A 3D view was built and then deliberately removed so the tool could stay pointed at whether a piece fits and where it goes. Poché is a top-down drafting view only. If you want renders, a walkthrough, or an image of the finished room to show someone, Planner 5D, Floorplanner and RoomSketcher all do that and Poché does none of it. Naming the trade-off is the only way the rest of this comparison is worth reading.
All five have a free tier, and each stops somewhere specific. Poché has no paid tier at all. Planner 5D gives unlimited free projects but puts the plan upload and half the catalogue behind Premium. Floorplanner gives 5 projects and its full 260,000-model library, with SD watermarked exports until you spend credits. RoomSketcher lets you draw and furnish free but charges $4 per generated floor plan and $20 a floor for AI Convert. magicplan gives 2 free projects and is then priced per job site.
Yes. The demo plan opens in the real editor with no account and no email — 2,080 square feet, 13 rooms measured off the drawing's own walls, and 53 pieces standing on it at true scale. Drag anything you like; nothing saves. Uploading your own plan does need an account, because an uploaded plan is private by default and privacy needs someone to be private to.
Every number was read off the vendor's own live pricing or feature page on 21 August 2026, and each page carries the source URL and date in an HTML comment beside the claim so anyone can re-verify it. Where something could not be confirmed it was left out rather than guessed. Prices and plan contents change; check theirs before deciding anything on ours.
For one job. If you already hold a floor plan and your question is whether the furniture fits and where to buy pieces that do, Poché is aimed exactly at that and nothing else here is. For seeing a room in 3D, choosing finishes, producing a floor plan document for someone else, or measuring a building you can walk into, one of the other four is the better answer and each comparison page says which and why.
The demo plan is 2,080 sq ft — 13 rooms measured off the drawing's own walls, 53 pieces standing at true scale, zero clearance warnings. It runs in the real editor with no account and no email.
