CubiCasa alternative: scan or draw your own floor plan (2026)
Short answer: CubiCasa and Dinoplan solve the same problem in two different ways. With CubiCasa you scan the home with your phone and CubiCasa sends you the finished floor plan. With Dinoplan you draw the plan yourself in the browser, by typing sizes. Dinoplan is our own product. We say that up front, and we also say where CubiCasa is the better choice. All CubiCasa facts below come from cubi.casa, and the prices were checked there on 13 November 2026.
What CubiCasa is good at
CubiCasa is a scanning service. You walk through the home with the CubiCasa app on your phone. According to their site, a scan takes about 5 to 10 minutes, and roughly 15 to 20 seconds per room. You upload the scan on site or later at the office and place an order. CubiCasa then turns the scan into a floor plan, and their site says every plan is checked by a QA engineer before delivery.
The strong point is clear: you do not draw. Their site says 2D floor plans and add-ons arrive in less than 24 hours, and 3D products within 48 hours. You can still adjust the plan afterwards in their web app. From one scan you can order several products, such as a 3D floor plan, a walkthrough video, CAD files and a virtual tour.
For photographers who already visit the home, this means very little extra work on site and no drawing time at the desk.
Where Dinoplan works differently
Dinoplan is a drawing tool, not a service. You open it in the browser, type the sizes of a room and the room appears. The area per room is shown on the drawing. Nobody else draws for you, so there is no delivery time: the plan is ready when you are done drawing.
- You start from what you have. Trace a PDF, a photo or a DXF, or type the sizes you measured.
- FML for Funda. Dinoplan opens Floorplanner FML files and exports FML, PDF, PNG and SVG. Whether CubiCasa delivers FML is not stated on their site. Read what an FML file is.
- 3D and video in the same place. One click gives you a 3D view, a walkthrough video and a share link.
- Claude connector. On the Agency plan you can connect Claude to Dinoplan.
Honest about our limits: Dinoplan has no scanning app, so you measure and type sizes yourself. It does not make photorealistic renders. Its furniture library is smaller than Floorplanner's and has its own drawing style. And Dinoplan does not produce a measurement report.

What CubiCasa costs
CubiCasa shows prices per country on its pricing page. These are the prices it showed for the Netherlands on 13 November 2026, in euros. Whether VAT is included is not stated on their site.
- STANDARD, €10: 2D floor plan, total area calculations, custom styling and branding, PNG, JPG and SVG, custom disclaimer, 24 hour turnaround.
- PLUS, €20: everything in STANDARD plus fixtures, CubiCasa Tour, a home report and snapshots.
- PLUS 3D, €65: a 3D floor plan with furniture, colours and textures, 48 hour turnaround, plus all PLUS features.
Add-ons on the same page: 6 hour turnaround for €15, a GLA report for €10, CAD files (.dwg, .dae, .obj and .fbx) for €35 with PLUS, and a 3D video render for €85 with PLUS 3D. A large property fee of €25 for 2D and €35 for 3D applies for each extra 232 m² once the drawn area is above 465 m².
The site also says your first 2D floor plan is free. In the United States there is a free LITE package with PNG and JPG output; the prices shown for the Netherlands start at STANDARD.
What Dinoplan costs
You can start for free, with a watermark on the export. One floor plan costs €2.99. Pro costs €19.99 a month, or €16.99 a month billed yearly. Agency costs €49.99 a month for five users. All plans are on pricing.
The models are different. CubiCasa charges per order, and the drawing work is done for you. Dinoplan charges for the software, and you do the drawing. If you make many plans a month, a subscription costs the same whether you draw five or fifty. If you rarely draw and want no work at all, paying per scan can be easier.

Who should stay with CubiCasa
CubiCasa is the better fit if you do not want to draw at all. That goes for photographers who scan in five minutes during a shoot, and for agents who want a plan without sitting behind a computer. It also fits if you sell more than the floor plan: 3D plans, CAD files, videos and tours from the same scan. And if you work for US appraisers, CubiCasa offers a GLA report that their site says is aligned with the ANSI Z765 standard. Dinoplan has nothing like that.
When Dinoplan is the better fit
- You want the plan right away, without a delivery time.
- Your client asks for an FML file for Funda, or you have Floorplanner projects you want to open.
- You already have a drawing as PDF, photo or DXF and only need to trace it.
- You make many plans a month and prefer a fixed price over paying per plan.
