A free alternative to room planner apps
Drag-and-drop planners (Planner 5D, Homestyler, RoomSketcher and similar) are good at furnishing a room you draw yourself, with large furniture catalogues and quick renders.
| Room planner apps | Kubikly | |
|---|---|---|
| Getting the room in | You draw walls, doors and windows by hand | Upload the plan or a photo; the AI extracts them |
| Editing | Drag objects, pick from menus | Say it: “open the kitchen”, “close the curtains”, “make it like this photo” |
| Measurements | As accurate as your drawing | Real dimensions from one confirmed measurement, each labelled by source |
| Restyling | Manual, per object | From any reference photo, in one step |
| Free tier | Usually limited renders or watermarks | First complete 3D model free; edits always free; no card |
| Exports | Renders, sometimes 3D | GLB / OBJ / STL with real dimensions (credits) |
Which to use
If you enjoy drawing and browsing catalogues, a planner is fine. If you have a plan or a photo and want the room built for you and changed by talking, Kubikly is faster, and the first model costs nothing.
