Floorplanner alternatives for real estate floor plans (2026)
Short answer: for floor plans of Dutch homes with an FML file for Funda, Dinoplan is an alternative to Floorplanner (our own product: €19.99 a month for unlimited floor plans, or €2.99 per floor plan), or you have the plan drawn for you. Other well-known tools are Magicplan and CubiCasa (scanning with a phone) and RoomSketcher and Planner 5D (drawing and furnishing); check with the vendor whether they deliver FML. Floorplanner is the best-known floor plan tool in the Netherlands, mainly because of its link with Funda. Below we compare six options. One of them, Dinoplan, is ours; we say so plainly and also say where it does not excel.
Why people look for an alternative to Floorplanner
Floorplanner is not a bad tool. It is mature, with a huge furniture library and photorealistic 3D renders. The reasons to look around are usually practical:
- Credits. Free accounts get up to 5 projects, with small exports and a watermark. The lowest paid project level costs 2 credits per project; the level with 4K in 2D and HD in 3D costs 5 credits. How that adds up per month is on Dinoplan vs Floorplanner.
- Branding per client. If you work for several estate agencies, you want a fixed style per agency: colours, font, logo, and switching between them quickly.
- Floor areas. Dutch clients expect the usable floor area per room on the drawing, measured on the inside of the walls. Interior design tools do not calculate that by default.
- Interiors versus real estate. A floor plan for a listing should be calm and readable. A large furniture library helps little there.
What to check before you choose
- Does the tool export FML? According to the Funda Desk help centre, Funda shows interactive floor plans in the FML format. Without FML export you end up redrawing the plan in Floorplanner. Read what an FML file is.
- Can you bring your existing projects? A tool that imports FML saves you redrawing your archive.
- Does it calculate floor area on the inside of the walls, and can it put an area table on the export?
- How do you pay? Per floor plan, per month, or with credits? What happens in a quiet month?
- Which exports are there? For a brochure and a website you want a sharp PNG or PDF, ideally without the software’s logo.

The six options
1. Dinoplan (our own product)
Dinoplan is Dutch floor plan software in the browser, made for real estate photographers, surveyors, energy assessors and estate agents. The interface is in Dutch and English. You draw walls, doors, windows and stairs with exact measurements, the area per room is calculated on the inside of the walls, and you export to PNG, JPG, SVG, PDF and FML. You can import FML files from Floorplanner: walls, doors, windows, rooms, storeys, dimensions and texts come along. Floorplanner furniture becomes Dinoplan furniture when Dinoplan knows the product code (about 9,900 products); otherwise it arrives as an outline, and as a neutral block in 3D.
You pay per floor plan (€2.99 per project, then unlimited exports for that home including FML) or by subscription: Pro at €19.99 a month (€16.99 a month yearly) with unlimited projects, 10 house styles and walking through the home in 3D, and Agency at €49.99 a month (€41.99 yearly) with 5 users and notes. Free gives you 3 projects with a watermark and without FML. Pro has a 14-day trial without a credit card. These are final prices, nothing is added.
Honest about the limits: Dinoplan does not make photorealistic interior renders with branded furniture, and its library is smaller than Floorplanner’s. If you mainly furnish interiors, Floorplanner is the better fit.
2. Magicplan
Magicplan is a phone and tablet app for building a floor plan on site, using the device’s camera and sensors. It is aimed mostly at construction, installation and surveying, and less at presenting a home for sale. Prices are on the vendor’s website. Check yourself whether the export fits what your client needs, such as FML for Funda.
3. RoomSketcher
RoomSketcher is an international online tool for 2D and 3D floor plans, with a clean presentation style used by many agents outside the Netherlands. It is an all-round tool for drawing, furnishing and viewing in 3D. Prices are on the vendor’s website. For Dutch work, check the floor area calculation and how you deliver to Funda.
4. Planner 5D
Planner 5D focuses on interior design for a broad audience, with a large library of furniture and materials and a 3D view. It is strong at mood images of a furnished room, and less made for a business floor plan with exact measurements, floor areas and a fixed house style. Prices are on the vendor’s website.
5. CubiCasa
CubiCasa works differently from a drawing tool: you scan the home with your phone and the floor plan is then drawn and delivered to you. That saves drawing time, but you depend on the delivery time and the look of the result. It is an international service; prices are on the vendor’s website. Ask how the drawing is delivered and whether you can still edit it.
6. Have it drawn by a surveyor or photographer
Not software, but a real alternative: someone who visits the home anyway draws the plan. Many real estate photographers and surveyors in the Netherlands deliver the floor plan together with the photos or the measurement report. You have no work yourself, but you pay per floor plan and have less control over style and speed.

Switching: what do you take with you?
The main question when leaving Floorplanner is what happens to your existing projects. Export them from Floorplanner as FML. A tool that imports FML reads the walls, doors, windows, rooms and dimensions. Furniture rarely comes across one to one, because every tool has its own library; for a sales floor plan, leaving it out is often better anyway. Step by step: switch from Floorplanner.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a free alternative to Floorplanner?
Most tools, Dinoplan included, have a free plan with limits such as a watermark or a maximum number of projects. In Dinoplan that is 3 projects with a watermark and without FML export. For professional use you nearly always end up paying per floor plan or by subscription.
Which alternative works with Funda?
Funda asks for an FML file. Dinoplan exports FML. For the other tools in this guide, check with the vendor, as it can differ per plan.
Can I move my Floorplanner projects?
Yes, through an FML export from Floorplanner. Dinoplan reads walls, doors, windows, rooms, storeys, dimensions and texts. Floorplanner furniture becomes Dinoplan furniture when the product code is known, otherwise it arrives as an outline.
Is Dinoplan better than Floorplanner?
That depends on your work. Dinoplan is made for floor plans of Dutch homes with floor areas and a house style per client. For interior design with branded furniture and photorealistic renders, Floorplanner is stronger.
