Best 3D Home Design Software (Free and Paid)

Entirely free to lay out rooms in 2D and basic 3D with exact dimensions, but there's no paid tier and no real file export; you print to keep a copy, and the save system is widely reported to lose work.

Completely free and open-source for personal and commercial use with no feature paywall; the only real limit is that the online and mobile versions can't import custom 3D models or export OBJ, which the desktop app handles.

Free forever (not a trial) with the full library and real-time 3D, but capped at 2 projects and roughly 30-50 objects each, with no custom-model import and only limited AI render credits before you need Pro.

The free plan gives 1 project and only 5 photorealistic renders that are watermarked and personal-use only, with no blueprint download and no commercial use; everything beyond that requires a paid plan.

Free to design and view in 3D in-browser, but free renders are capped at around 10 standard renders a month and carry a Coohom watermark; HD/4K, panoramas, videos, and watermark removal all require a paid plan.

Free to design in 2D/3D with the full library, but every free export is locked to SD (960x540) with a Floorplanner watermark, and HD/4K, watermark removal, multiple floors, and DXF/PDF export all cost credits.

Free design with unlimited 2D/3D screenshots, but you get only 5 realistic HD renders total for the account's lifetime (not per month), deleting a project doesn't refund the credit, and free is personal-use only.

Free to design with unlimited 1K renders and 100k+ models, but every free render carries a Homestyler watermark, removing it needs a paid plan, and 4K renders cost $1.99 each a la carte.

The free version limits you to one active project at a time, watermarks all image and video exports, and disables 3D-model export entirely; a one-time Standard purchase removes those limits.

Free to design unlimited 2D/3D projects, but about half the furniture catalog is locked, you get no proper renders, and DWG/DXF export plus custom 3D import require the Professional plan.

Free to draw accurate floor plans and view low-res 3D snapshots, but you can't download, print, or export a finished 2D/3D plan until you pay about $4 per output or subscribe to Pro, and free is capped at 2 projects.

Free to design in 3D with the full real-brand catalog, but you must sign up to render, free renders are low-res (around 640x480) and watermarked, and HD downloads require credits.

SketchUp Free is free for personal, non-commercial use in the browser only; you can model and download skp/png/stl, but DWG/DXF/OBJ/PDF export, the desktop app, and extensions all require a paid plan.

There's no free tier, only a non-expiring trial that disables saving, printing, exporting, and walkthrough recording, so you can explore in 3D but can't get any work out without a paid subscription.
