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. It is handy to create estimates and invoices with attached floor plan diagrams and photos, so professionals like contractors can win a job and get client signatures on the spot. And when the job is done, send an invoice to the client to get paid faster. RenoPlan leverages your device's powerful AR (ARKit) and LiDAR capabilities to measure room in seconds, which will be very handy in the accuracy-insensitive scenarios. For professional projects, RenoPlan is integrated with Leica Disto, Bosch, and DeWalt laser meters, capable of measuring room quickly and accurately. With the app, you can also markup and attach site measurements and photos, which can be included in a professional report. Supported laser models: - Leica Disto D1, D2, E7100i - Bosch GLM 50C, 100C, 120C, 150C, 400C, 400CL - DeWALT DW099S, DW0165S, DW0330S - Moasure One (New)

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: RenoPlan at Free against House Design's $2.99. RenoPlan also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and rating (4.5 vs 4.3). House Design's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 14.0). On review sentiment, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

RenoPlan holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 258 and 752 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of House Design's written reviews are positive against 62% of RenoPlan's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

House Design ships an update every 2 months, RenoPlan fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
