AquaPlot helps homeowners and DIY gardeners plan a simple irrigation system without professional CAD tools. Design your sprinkler system layout on your phone, check flow and pressure, and take a clear shopping list to the store. Start as a guest and create a free account when you want the material list. With AquaPlot you can: - draw your plot in 2D and type exact side lengths - reshape the garden boundary - add sprinklers, pipes, valves, and obstacles - check sprinkler coverage - run a bucket test to estimate safe water flow - review pressure and flow warnings - calculate watering time for each zone - estimate the materials needed for installation - save and compare multiple project layouts Terrain and pressure: - mark a few height points and see your garden with contour lines - every sprinkler takes its height from the map and every zone its slope - pressure loss is calculated for each pipe section and valve - see how much pressure your tap keeps while the water is flowing - get a hint which PE pipe size (16โ32 mm) is enough for your layout - get warnings about uneven pressure, fast water in pipes, and too high pressure on spray heads - include a backflow preventer, filter, and pressure regulator at the tap Watering plan: - watering time per zone based on climate, plant type, soil, and slope - cycle and soak on clay soil and slopes, so water does not run off - weekly, monthly, and seasonal water use for the whole garden - a controller plan with the start and end time for all zones The app is built for practical home planning. It is not a certified hydraulic design tool, but it helps you avoid common mistakes before you start buying parts. Use AquaPlot to: - test whether your water source can handle the planned layout - split the setup into manageable irrigation zones - see where coverage may be weak - choose a pipe size that keeps enough pressure at the last sprinkler - prepare a clearer shopping list for pipes, valves, and sprinklers - export the whole plan to PDF for the store or your installer (Pro) AquaPlot is designed for small and medium home gardens where you want a visual plan, useful warnings, and a straightforward workflow on mobile.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Sprinkler Map at every 3 weeks against AquaPlot's every 2 months. AquaPlot's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
