TilePlanner – measure rooms, lay tiles automatically, and create a finished survey as a PDF. The practical tool for tilers, tradespeople, and everyone who plans their own project. MEASURE IT YOURSELF • Draw each room with your fingertip – corner by corner. • Walls are labelled with their dimensions automatically. • Tap a wall to set its length and angle precisely – including angled walls and diagonals. • Zoom and pan for large or irregularly shaped rooms. TILE IT AUTOMATICALLY • Tile format, grout and perimeter grout freely adjustable. • Laying patterns: grid, half-offset, third-offset and diagonal. • The app lays the tiles automatically and distinguishes full tiles from cut ones. MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS AT A GLANCE • Instantly visible: floor area plus full and cut tile counts. • Recommended purchase quantity including a cutting-waste allowance. MANAGE CUSTOMERS & ROOMS • Create customers and assign any number of rooms to them. • All data stays local on your device. PROFESSIONAL PDF SURVEY • Create a PDF per room or a combined survey across all rooms. • Includes customer details, room sketch, wall dimensions, tile specifications and quantities – with totals. • Share or print straight away. Ideal for quotes, orders and planning on site. TilePlanner is funded by ads. A one-time purchase removes them permanently, so you can use the app ad-free. Two notes on wording choices: „verfliesen" I translated as „lay tiles" rather than the more literal „tile" — App Store copy reads more naturally as a verb phrase this way, and the second headline keeps „lay tiles automatically". „Mit einem einmaligen Kauf" says removes ads permanently, not a subscription. That wording matters legally and for user expectations, so I kept it unambiguous rather than softening it to „remove ads".

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: BauKalk at none against TilePlanner's shown. TilePlanner's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
