Sweet Home 3D Alternatives (Real Limits Compared)

Sweet Home 3D is a solid choice, but people look for alternatives because of the fine print: 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. On top of that, dated Java interface feels clunky next to modern rivals. Strong options to compare include SketchUp, Planner 5D, and Floor Plan Creator. Below we line up the real free limits of each — what it exports, what it watermarks, and which platforms it runs on — so you switch for the right reason.
