Magicplan alternative for real estate floor plans (2026)

Short answer: Magicplan is a phone and tablet app for capturing a property on site, aimed mainly at restoration teams. If you draw floor plans of homes for sale and need an FML file for Funda, Dinoplan is an alternative: you draw in the browser, open and export FML, and pay a flat price (€19.99 a month, or €2.99 for a single floor plan). Dinoplan is our own product. We say so plainly, and we also say where Magicplan does better. Everything we write about Magicplan comes from its own website, read on 13 November 2026.

What Magicplan is good at

Magicplan describes itself as restoration workflow software, built for the field. Its customers include restoration and flooring companies. The app does a lot more than draw a floor plan:

• Capture on site. Magicplan runs on iOS and Android. On iPhone and iPad Pro models there is a LiDAR scan. In the same app you take photos, videos and 360 tours of the property.
• Reports and estimates. A PDF report holds the sketch, photos, notes and custom forms. There are statistics such as surface area, perimeter and living area as PDF or CSV, and cost estimates as PDF or XLS.
• Many export formats. Its help centre lists a sketch PDF, SVG, JPG, PNG and DXF, plus 3D files as IFC, OBJ and USDZ. The homepage also mentions an ESX export for Xactimate.
• Teams. According to the pricing page, every plan includes unlimited users.

If your work is damage, repairs or renovation, that is a strong set of tools in one app.

Where Dinoplan differs

• Drawing instead of capturing. With Magicplan you stand in the room with your phone. Dinoplan runs in the browser, usually at your desk. You type the sizes and the room appears, with the area per room on the drawing. You can also trace a PDF, photo or DXF, so a sketch or plan from the site can be your starting point. Dinoplan has no scanning app.
• FML. Funda shows interactive floor plans in the FML format. Magicplan's export formats page does not mention FML or Floorplanner. Dinoplan opens Floorplanner FML files and exports FML. Read what an FML file is.
• Presentation of a home. Dinoplan shows the home in 3D with one click, makes a walkthrough video and gives you a share link. Exports are FML, PDF, PNG and SVG.
• What it is made for. Magicplan is built around restoration jobs, with reports, forms and estimates. Dinoplan is built around one thing: floor plans of homes for sale.

What it costs

Magicplan. You pay per project, and every plan includes all features. One project is one property or job site, including all floor plans, exports and reports for it. Plans start at 10 new projects per month, and unused projects roll over to the next month. If you go over, each extra project costs $40. You get 2 free projects to start. The plans are called Pro Flex, Pro 12 and Pro 24. We could not see the monthly prices: when we read the pricing page on 13 November 2026, the plans section only said it was loading. So we give no plan prices here. Check them on magicplan.app/pricing.

Dinoplan. Free with a watermark. A single floor plan costs €2.99. Pro is €19.99 a month, or €16.99 a month billed yearly. Agency is €49.99 a month for five users. There are no credits and no minimum number of projects. Details are on pricing.

Who should stay with Magicplan

Magicplan is the better choice if:

• you work in restoration or insurance and use Xactimate, since Magicplan exports ESX;
• you want to capture the floor plan, photos, notes and forms in one visit, on your phone;
• you need cost estimates, CSV statistics or 3D files such as IFC, OBJ or USDZ;
• you want a scan with LiDAR rather than typing sizes yourself.

Dinoplan does none of those things.

When Dinoplan fits better

• You draw floor plans of homes for sale, and estate agents ask you for an FML file for Funda.
• You have an archive in Floorplanner and want to open those FML files. See switch from Floorplanner.
• You have the sizes, a sketch or an old PDF, and you prefer to draw at your desk.
• You want a flat monthly price without a minimum number of projects, or you only need one plan now and then.
• You work with a small team and want to use Claude to work on plans. The Agency plan has a Claude connector.

You can combine the two. Magicplan exports a sketch as PDF, PNG or DXF, and Dinoplan can trace a PDF, photo or DXF. We have not tested this with every Magicplan file, so try it on one project first.

Honest about the limits: Dinoplan's furniture library is smaller than Floorplanner's and has its own drawing style. There are no photorealistic renders and no scanning app. Dinoplan shows the area per room on the drawing, but it does not produce a measurement report.
