RenoPlan helps anyone -- whether home contractors, interior designers, sales reps, architects, DIYers -- to quickly and accurately measure residential homes or office buildings to create floor plans and project estimates. The app can handle just about measuring jobs, like room drawings, doors, windows, kitchen countertops/cabinets, tubs, and showers. RenoPlan makes it easy for your renovation, remodeling and restoration projects. As you create your plan, the app automatically calculates floor, wall areas and perimeters of room areas so as to estimate product usages. This can mean big savings for your projects.

Verdict

The call

RenoPlan and HC Key both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of HC Key's written reviews are positive against 62% of RenoPlan's. HC Key also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 6). RenoPlan's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). On price, rating, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
