Maket vs Homestyler: Which Floor Plan Tool Is Right for You?
Maket’s floor plan editor with the generated Cambria Heights plan, next to Homestyler’s floor plan import. Both can import an existing plan and generate one with AI; they differ in what the generator knows about architecture, how you get from that plan to the next version, and how much you have to learn.
TL;DR
Both tools now generate a floor plan with AI, so the difference is what you get and how much you have to learn. Maket pulls ahead on five points: its generator takes your rooms, square footage, and house shape and returns one complete plan per generation with architectural rules built in, which you can duplicate and rework by hand, where Homestyler’s AI Planner returns a draft with no shape input and no rules described in its tutorial; its Move tool moves a whole room while the plan adjusts, where Homestyler edits walls one segment at a time; Auto-Furnish places furniture by architectural rules, where AI Decor auto-decorates a room with a curated look; its Pro plan comes with human-validated plan uploads, where Homestyler’s Auto Generate is a beta and its guide describes no human help; and it keeps everything in one light editor with one credit type, where Homestyler spreads work across a pro-grade editor, ten AI tools, coins, AI credits, and render quotas. Homestyler is the better choice if you already have a layout and want a huge catalog, your own 3D files, and 4K renders, panoramas, and walkthrough videos at a low price.
Homestyler and Maket both let you create a floor plan, furnish it, and see it in 3D, and both now generate a floor plan with AI, but they are built for different jobs. Homestyler is a browser-based 3D interior design platform that started life as Autodesk Homestyler: a professional editor with a catalog Homestyler counts at 100,000+ free models, cloud rendering up to 4K, 360° panoramas, walkthrough videos, and a suite of ten named AI tools, with companion apps on iOS and Android. Maket is an AI floor plan generator: you answer a few questions about the home you need, it produces one complete layout per generation, and you refine it, or duplicate it and rework the copy, with the Move tool, Auto-Furnish, your own furniture, and renders in one browser editor. This comparison walks through both tools feature by feature, with every Homestyler claim verified on homestyler.com and its official tutorials in October 2026, so you can tell which one fits the project in front of you.
Why Compare Homestyler and Maket?
Homestyler is one of the largest 3D home design platforms online, with more than 20 million registered users by its own count, roots in Autodesk, and a pivot to AI: an AI Planner that drafts a floor plan from room counts, a design agent called Spark, AI Decor to auto-decorate a room, and AI tools for images, textures, models, renders, and video. It is the tool many designers reach for when they want a photoreal render of a room. We built Maket to answer a different question first: what should the floor plan be, given the rooms, the size, and the shape of the house? That difference drives almost everything else in this comparison, from what the generator knows about architecture to how many tools and currencies you have to learn. If you are searching for a Homestyler alternative because you need a layout generated from your requirements rather than drawn wall by wall, the sections below show where each floor plan software wins.
Quick Verdict: Homestyler vs Maket
Last Updated: October 2026
Generates the plan for you
A complete layout from your answers to a few guided questions, with house shape as an input and preset architectural rules built in, one plan per generation; on paid plans, duplicate it and rework the copy by hand, and hand edits use no credits. Homestyler’s AI Planner returns a plan for 15 AI credits in 2–5 minutes with no shape input and no rules described in its tutorial.
Auto-Furnish and the Move tool
One-click furniture placement by preset rules, with a new configuration on each click, and whole rooms that move while the plan adjusts. Homestyler auto-decorates rooms with AI Decor and edits walls one segment at a time.
Plan recognition with a human check
Upload a PDF or image and get an editable plan: AI-assisted on Homeowner, human-validated by our team on Pro. Homestyler imports JPG, PDF, DWG, and LiDAR scans with an Auto Generate (Beta), and its guide describes no human help.
Catalog, renders, and your own 3D files
100,000+ free models, 4K renders, panoramas, walkthrough videos, and uploads of your own MAX, SKP, or GLB files. Maket has a built-in library and turns a photo into a 3D model with dimensions estimated from the photo or entered from the spec sheet.
One editor, one currency
Maket keeps editing to a light toolbar and a single credit type. Homestyler spreads work across a pro-grade editor, ten AI tools, coins, AI credits, and monthly render quotas.

Where Maket Pulls Ahead of Homestyler
A rule-based plan from your brief
Set your rooms, square footage, and house shape, and the AI floor plan generator returns one complete layout per generation, with preset architectural constraints built in and continuously refined. Want an alternative? On paid plans, duplicate the plan and change the copy yourself in the editor (hand edits use no credits), or run a new generation.
Homestyler: AI Planner takes room counts, kitchen type, extra rooms, a size range, and a text box, and returns a floor plan for 15 AI credits in about 2–5 minutes; its tutorial describes no house-shape input and no architectural rules.
Move a room, the plan adjusts
Drag a whole room with the Move tool in the floor plan editor and the surrounding walls, doors and circulation reshape to match, while room sizes and windows are kept: a room layout planner that keeps the plan coherent.
Homestyler: walls are moved one segment at a time, by dragging or typing a dimension after you unlock them; no move-a-room tool appears in the tutorials we checked.
Auto-Furnish by architectural rules
Auto-Furnish places Maket’s own assets by room type using architectural preset rules, so clearances, door swings, and circulation hold. Run it again for a different configuration of the same room, and run it on any copy of the plan, so you compare furniture arrangements within a room as well as across the versions you have made.
Homestyler: AI Decor auto-decorates a room in 3D with a curated look, and Spark furnishes a whole design from a style prompt on AI credits; Homestyler documents no placement rules for either.
Human-validated uploads on Pro
Upload a PDF, JPG, or PNG and our AI floor plan recognition converts the image to an editable floor plan, then exports it to DXF. On Homeowner the upload is AI-assisted; on Pro, our team validates each upload, up to five a month.
Homestyler: Import Floor Plan accepts JPG, PNG, DWG, PDF, and iOS LiDAR scans, then you trace over it or use Auto Generate (Beta); no human assistance is described in the import guide.
One light editor, one credit type
One floor plan editor with a short toolbar (furniture, structure, select, move and draw wall) and a single credit type that covers generation, renders, and optimizations. Your starting point is generated, so you never draw a wall or browse a catalog to get a first plan, and 2D to 3D and AI rendering live in the same project.
Homestyler: a professional editor with lighting, plumbing, parametric stairs, and BOM export; the ten AI tools on its AI Boost page (AI Planner, Spark, AI Stager, AI Moodboard, AI Modeler, AI Texturer, AI Painter, AI Planter, AI Render, AI Animator) plus AI Decor; and three currencies, coins, AI credits, and monthly render quotas.
AI Capabilities: Where Maket Goes Further
Both tools use AI at every stage now, but with different goals. Homestyler uses it to draft one plan, style a room, generate models, and render or animate a design you then finish in a professional editor. Maket uses it to generate a plan from your requirements, then reshape it, furnish it, duplicate and rework it, and bring your own furniture into it, in one light editor.
Homestyler’s AI: a planner, an agent, and image tools
As documented on Homestyler’s site and official tutorials:
AI Planner (web) turns bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, extra-room, and size-range inputs, plus a text box added in an October update, into a 2D floor plan in about 2–5 minutes for 15 AI credits; the plan then opens in the 3D editor.
Spark, the Interior Design Agent, generates or ingests a floor plan, furnishes the whole space from a style prompt, refines through chat, and exports to an editable project; credits are charged by token usage.
AI Decor auto-decorates a room in 3D with a curated look in seconds; the free Basic plan lists 3 AI Decor credits in total.
AI Modeler creates a 3D model from a photo or text for 20 credits, in 2–5 minutes plus 10–20 minutes to import; model files download on paid plans.
AI Stager, AI Moodboard, AI Painter, and AI Texturer work on images, AI Render produces AI renders (25–35 credits each), and AI Animator produces short videos (10–12 credits per second).
Import Floor Plan reads JPG, PNG, DWG, PDF, and iOS LiDAR scans, then you trace manually or use Auto Generate (Beta); no human assistance is described in the guide.
Maket’s AI: generate, reshape, furnish
What Maket’s AI does in the same project:
Generates a complete layout from your answers to a few guided questions in a few minutes, with preset architectural constraints built in and continuously refined, one plan per generation, for 20 credits per floor; on paid plans, duplicate a plan and rework the copy by hand, with hand edits using no credits, or run a new generation.
AI floor plan recognition converts an existing PDF, JPG, or PNG into an editable project (PDF to DXF on export): AI-assisted on Homeowner, human-validated by our team on Pro, up to five uploads a month.
The Move tool repositions a whole room, and the walls, doors and circulation around it reshape to match, while room sizes and windows are kept.
Auto-Furnish places our own assets by room type with architectural preset rules in one click, and gives a new configuration on each click.
Bring your own furniture: one photo of a sofa or chair becomes a 3D model with dimensions estimated from the photo or entered from the spec sheet, saved to your own library and used in renders.
Takes simple requests in plain language on paid plans, like “add a bedroom.” Long, detailed prompts are only partly used, so short, specific requests work best.
Converts the floor plan to a 3D model in one click, with a 3D walkthrough and an architectural rendering shortly after. No CAD skill needed.
Cambria Heights, one Maket project in three views: the generated 2D floor plan, the isometric 3D view one click later, and an AI rendering of the kitchen in a contemporary farmhouse style from the same model. No redrawing between steps.

Homestyler vs Maket: Pricing Compared
Pricing verified directly from each platform in October 2026. Homestyler shows “starts from” prices with a “Save 15%” label; its pricing FAQ says auto-renew subscriptions are discounted against one-time purchases, with an extra first-time auto-renew discount.
| Plan | Maket | Homestyler |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0, 30 credits, no card required | $0 (Basic): unlimited 1K renders (watermark removal is a Pro+ feature), 100,000+ free models, 3 AI Decor credits in total, 3 model uploads |
| Entry paid | $20/mo (Homeowner), 300 credits/mo; 17% off on annual billing | Pro+ from $6.8/mo (shown with “Save 15%”): 180 AI credits/mo, 75 2K and 75 4K renders/mo, watermark removal, multi-floor, 300 uploads, BOM and construction drawings |
| Professional tier | $100/mo (Pro), 3,000 credits/mo; 17% off on annual billing | Master+ from $11.8/mo: 380 AI credits/mo, unlimited 4K renders, more video and panorama quota, 500 uploads |
| Teams and enterprise | Scale (custom), API access | Team from $19.9/seat/mo (shared space, 500 credits per account); Enterprise custom with SSO, white label, and API |
| AI floor plan generation | 20 credits per generated floor, one plan per generation; on paid plans, you can duplicate a plan and rework it by hand, and hand edits use no credits | AI Planner: 15 AI credits per plan |
| Extra AI credits | Top-up packs for paid subscribers, credits never expire | AI Boost membership from $4.9/mo (1,500 credits, limited-time offer) or credit packs |
| CAD export | DXF and PDF included from Homeowner ($20/mo) | DWG on web; colored floor plan, BOM, and construction drawings on Pro+ |
| Cancel and refunds | Cancel anytime; plan runs to the end of the billing period | Membership fees are, in general, non-refundable per Homestyler’s pricing FAQ |
Pricing verdict: Homestyler is the cheaper subscription by a wide margin, and for rendering it is hard to beat: Pro+ from $6.8/mo buys 150 high-resolution renders a month, and Master+ from $11.8/mo makes 4K unlimited. What the subscriptions buy is different, though. Homestyler’s AI credits are shared across ten tools, and a single AI Planner run is 15 credits, so the 180 credits on Pro+ cover twelve plans a month if you spend them on nothing else, one plan at a time. Maket Homeowner at $20/mo includes 300 credits, which covers up to 15 generated floors built on preset architectural constraints, or 30 renders, plus DXF and PDF export, and on paid plans you can duplicate a plan and rework it by hand, with hand edits using no credits. If the outcome you need is photoreal renders, panoramas, or a walkthrough video of a plan you already have, Homestyler is the lower price to that outcome; if it is a generated layout you can rework and hand to a contractor as a DXF, Maket is.
Who Should Use Homestyler and Who Should Use Maket?
Choose Homestyler if you:
Already have a floor plan, or will draw or import one, and want to furnish it from a 100,000+ model catalog, including your own MAX, SKP, or GLB files.
Need professional output on a budget: 4K renders, 360° panoramas, walkthrough videos, a 720° virtual tour, BOM, and construction drawings from $6.8/mo.
Work in an interior design studio or furniture brand that wants a shared team space and a designer-services directory.
Like having many AI tools at hand, from image staging and moodboards to AI renders and animations, and do not mind managing coins, AI credits, and render quotas.
Choose Maket if you:
Are a homeowner who wants to design your own house floor plans with no existing plan and have AI generate a layout from your requirements, or have an existing plan you want to rework: upload it and our AI floor plan recognition turns it into an editable project, AI-assisted on Homeowner and human-validated on Pro.
Are an architect or designer who wants to skip the blank-canvas phase entirely and have an AI architecture generator produce a starting point shaped by built-in architectural constraints, then duplicate it and refine each copy in the layout editor.
Want a simple floor plan maker: a light interface with a handful of controls and one credit type instead of a full drafting toolset, ten AI tools, and three currencies.
Want your own furniture in the plan from a photo: one photo of a piece becomes a 3D model with dimensions estimated from the photo or entered from the spec sheet, saved to your library, so plans and renders show what you will actually buy.
Need DXF export for handoff to a contractor or structural engineer and want it included from the $20/mo plan, with human-validated uploads on Pro.
Want to try changes quickly: duplicate a plan, Auto-Furnish a room in one click, get a new configuration on the next, and move whole rooms while the plan adjusts around them.
Select any piece and Maket shows its clearances to the walls and furniture around it: here the dining set sits 7’3” from the kitchen island and 8’6” from the family room.

Homestyler vs Maket: Our Verdict
Homestyler is a mature, deep 3D interior design platform: a catalog of 100,000+ free models, your own 3D files, cloud rendering up to 4K with panoramas and video, construction drawings and BOM export, companion apps, and a growing set of AI tools, including an AI Planner that drafts a floor plan from room counts and a Spark agent that furnishes a whole design from a prompt. If you already know your layout, or are happy to draw or import it, and you want professional visuals at a low monthly price, Homestyler is a strong, inexpensive choice.
Maket is the stronger option if you want AI to take the lead on the layout. It generates a complete, editable floor plan from a set of constraints, including the shape of the house, with architectural rules built into the generator, one plan per generation that you can duplicate and rework by hand, and keeps the refining, furnishing, rendering, and DXF export in one light editor with a single credit type. For homeowners designing their own house, architects accelerating ideation, and builders iterating layouts before a structural design, that combination, a generator that takes the house shape as an input with architectural rules built in, is not something Homestyler documents at any price tier.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Maket a good Homestyler alternative?
Yes. Maket is a Homestyler alternative for anyone who wants a floor plan generated from their requirements, with architectural rules built in, instead of a plan drawn wall by wall. You answer a few guided questions about a home, receive a complete floor plan within minutes, then refine it with the Move tool and Auto-Furnish, duplicate it to try changes, and furnish it with your own pieces. Homestyler’s AI Planner returns a plan for 15 AI credits, and its strengths are the catalog, rendering, and construction drawings around a plan you already have. If you need a layout from scratch that you can rework in minutes, Maket is the stronger Homestyler alternative; if you need photoreal renders and a huge catalog for an existing plan, Homestyler remains a strong choice.
Does Homestyler have an AI floor plan generator?
Yes. Homestyler’s AI Planner, on the web, takes the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, an open or closed kitchen, optional rooms such as a home office, laundry, garage, or balcony, a total size range, and, since an October update, a text box for requests like adding a bathroom to the primary bedroom. It generates a 2D floor plan in about 2–5 minutes for 15 AI credits, which then opens in the 3D editor; the free Basic plan lists 3 AI Decor credits in total, so AI Planner needs a paid plan, AI Boost, or a credit pack. Homestyler’s guides do not describe a house-shape input or architectural constraints. Maket generates a complete layout from your bedroom, bathroom, square footage, and house shape inputs for 20 credits per floor, with architectural constraints built in, one plan per generation; to try an alternative you duplicate the plan and change the copy yourself, or run a new generation.
Which is better for homeowners, Maket or Homestyler?
Maket is better for homeowners starting from scratch who want a generated layout they can rework, and Homestyler is better for homeowners who have a plan and want to decorate and render it. Maket generates a layout from a few simple inputs and lets you refine it, or duplicate it and rework the copy, in a light visual editor. Homestyler gives you a professional editor, a 100,000+ model catalog, and unlimited 1K renders on the free plan, with 4K, panoramas, and video on inexpensive paid plans. If you have a paper plan, both tools can digitize it; Maket’s floor plan recognition is AI-assisted on Homeowner and human-validated on Pro, while Homestyler’s Import Floor Plan guide describes a manual trace or an Auto Generate (Beta) option and no human assistance.
How much do Maket and Homestyler cost?
Both have a free plan with no credit card; Homestyler Pro+ starts from $6.8/mo and Maket Homeowner is $20/mo. Homestyler Pro+ includes 180 AI credits a month, 75 2K and 75 4K renders, watermark removal, multi-floor, and BOM and construction drawing export; Master+ starts from $11.8/mo with 380 credits and unlimited 4K renders; Team is from $19.9 per seat. Homestyler’s AI tools draw on the same credits, with AI Planner at 15 per plan, and an AI Boost membership from $4.9/mo adds credits. Maket Homeowner includes 300 credits, DXF and PDF export, and multi-floor generation; Pro is $100/mo with 3,000 credits and human-validated plan uploads. Maket’s credits cover floor plan generation (20 per floor), renders (10), and optimizations (5), refreshing monthly on paid plans.
Can you move a whole room in Homestyler?
No, not as a single action in the tutorials we checked: in Homestyler you unlock the walls and then drag or dimension wall segments one at a time (with Auto Connect, attached walls follow the one you move), so there is no step that repositions a whole room while the plan adjusts. Maket’s Move tool repositions the whole room, and the surrounding walls, doors and circulation reshape to match, while room sizes and windows are kept, so the plan stays coherent.
Does Homestyler have an auto-furnish feature?
Yes, in two forms. AI Decor auto-decorates a room in 3D with a curated look, and Spark, Homestyler’s design agent, furnishes a whole design from a style prompt and refines it through chat, both on AI credits. Homestyler documents no placement rules for either. Maket’s Auto-Furnish places Maket’s own assets by architectural preset rules, so clearances and circulation hold, on any room with a room type set, in a generated or uploaded plan, and each click produces a different configuration, so you can compare furniture arrangements within a room as well as across any copies of the plan you have made.
Does Maket or Homestyler export to DXF or DWG?
Both export to CAD, in different formats and tiers: Maket includes DXF and PDF export from its $20/mo Homeowner plan, while Homestyler exports a DWG floor plan from the web editor and, on Pro+ from $6.8/mo, colored floor plans, a bill of materials, and construction drawings as DWG, PDF, or JPG. We found no DXF export in Homestyler’s export guides. If your contractor or engineer needs a DXF, Maket delivers it directly; if they work in DWG and you also want construction drawings, Homestyler’s Pro+ covers more for less.
Can I use my own furniture in Maket or Homestyler?
Yes, both do, and Homestyler accepts more file types. In Maket, you upload one photo of a piece, Maket estimates its dimensions (or you enter them from the spec sheet), and it becomes a 3D model saved under your custom objects, reusable in any project and visible in renders, for 10 credits. In Homestyler, AI Modeler builds a 3D model from a photo or a text description for 20 credits, and you can upload your own MAX, SKP, FBX, OBJ, GLB, GLTF, ZIP, or RAR models, 3 on the free plan, 300 on Pro+, 500 on Master+, and unlimited on Team. If you already have 3D files from a manufacturer, Homestyler wins; if you have a photo and want the piece to scale inside a generated layout, both can do it and Maket pairs it with the generated layout.
Is Maket easier to use than Homestyler?
Maket is simpler for getting to a floor plan; Homestyler is far deeper once you have one. Homestyler is a professional editor with lighting, plumbing and electricity, parametric stairs, roofs, and BOM export, ten named AI tools with their own credit costs, and three currencies to track: coins earned from tasks and challenges, AI credits, and monthly render quotas. Maket starts from a few questions, generates the plan for you with preset architectural constraints built in, and keeps editing to a light toolbar of furniture, structure, select, move and draw wall, with one credit type, so there is less to learn before you have a plan you can act on.
Can Maket and Homestyler convert a 2D floor plan to 3D?
Yes, both switch any plan between 2D and 3D and produce renders, and Homestyler goes much further on output. Homestyler renders at 1K for free with a watermark, at 2K and 4K on paid plans, and adds 360° panoramas up to 12K, a 720° virtual tour, and walkthrough videos. In Maket, the 2D floor plan to 3D model switch is one click on any plan, including generated ones, with an isometric view, a 3D walkthrough, and an AI rendering of any room for 10 credits on every plan, free included. The difference is the starting point: in Maket the 3D floor plan comes from a layout the AI generated for you, so you can duplicate it, rework each copy, and compare them in 3D before you commit to one.
Is there a free version of Maket and Homestyler?
Yes, both are free to start with no credit card. Maket’s Free plan includes 30 credits, enough to generate a floor plan and render a room, with floor plan generation, 2D to 3D, and AI rendering all available. Homestyler’s Basic plan includes unlimited 1K renders (watermark removal is a Pro+ feature), 100,000+ free models, and 3 model uploads, but only 3 AI Decor credits in total, so AI Planner (15 credits) and the other AI tools need a paid plan, AI Boost, or a credit pack. To export CAD, Maket’s Homeowner plan is $20/mo for DXF; Homestyler’s DWG export runs from the web editor, with construction drawings on Pro+ from $6.8/mo.
