INK TO BRICK vs Floorplanner: editing, exports and project costs
Floorplanner’s credit-based project upgrades are worth comparing when you need better presentation output for one project and want to draw or move walls yourself. INK TO BRICK fits a different job: reconstruct a supplied plan, keep its structure fixed, and export the reviewed model for another tool.[1][3][5]

Start with the decision
Three jobs that separate them.
Compare one-project cost
INK TO BRICK: Free $0 for one lifetime import, or $29.99 once for a Project Pass with three imports and up to 90 days on one project.[7]
Floorplanner: Basic is $0, Plus is $5 monthly with four credits and Pro is $29 monthly with 25 credits. One-off credits start at $8.15 for five.[2][3]
Obtain a 3D file
INK TO BRICK: Choose GLB, packaged glTF, OBJ, COLLADA, STL, 3MF or USDZ from a pinned revision on Plus and above, SKP on Creator and above, and IFC or STEP on Business.[5]
Floorplanner: API documentation includes GLB mesh export; ordinary-account entitlement is not established here.[4]
Draw and rearrange rooms
INK TO BRICK: Reconstruct from a source plan and keep design alternatives separate; it is not equivalent direct structural authoring.
Floorplanner: Draw rooms, move walls, and place doors and windows in its online editor.[1]

If moving walls is the job, start with an editor
Floorplanner’s core workflow is direct planning: draw rooms, alter walls and place openings while checking a 3D view. Its catalog extends beyond residential furniture. That is a substantial advantage when you want to author a layout, test several arrangements or furnish a space without preparing a separate model first.[1]
INK TO BRICK addresses a different starting situation: a source drawing becomes the common reference for editable furnishing directions, current-view imagery, public 3D and exports. Choose it when keeping those deliverables tied together matters more than drawing walls directly in the browser.
A one-project presentation does not always need a subscription
Floorplanner allows a limited set of free projects with watermarked SD image exports. Credits can be purchased separately, and a project-level upgrade is a one-time purchase for that project. A subscription and a project upgrade therefore answer different needs; compare the output you require before choosing either.[2][3]
Floorplanner’s Basic plan is $0, Plus is $5 monthly with four credits and Pro is $29 monthly with 25 credits; one-off credit packs begin at $8.15 for five. INK TO BRICK’s $29.99 Project Pass covers one project, three imports and up to 90 days; its Free plan includes one lifetime import. Credits and imports are different units, so compare the required upgrade and handoff rather than treating the sticker prices as equivalent.[7]
Ask which export your account can actually use
Floorplanner project upgrades document high-resolution images and PDF, FML and DXF downloads, while its API separately defines GLB mesh export. Those access routes and credit costs differ. INK TO BRICK groups plan, 3D, data and view formats around the saved project revision.[3][4]
INK TO BRICK’s 20-format library spans SVG/PDF/DXF/DWG plans, ten 3D model formats, JSON/CSV/XLSX data and PNG/JPEG/WebP views. The library starts on Plus, DXF, DWG and SKP need Creator and above, and IFC and STEP need Business. DWG is a native layered AC1032 drawing. IFC carries canonical rooms, walls, openings and properties rather than a complete engineering model; STEP carries faceted surfaces without editable parametric history. Inspect a sample in the destination before committing the handoff.[5]
Let the next decision choose the tool
Use Floorplanner when the next decision needs direct layout authoring or its large in-app catalog. Choose INK TO BRICK when the decision needs to move from editable direction to a traceable presentation image, public 3D review and portable files without losing the source revision.[6]
For price, Floorplanner’s one-off credits are a flexible low-cost route to individual project upgrades. INK TO BRICK’s Pass bundles three imports for one project; monthly plans bundle recurring imports and editors. Check the exact output, source format and revision trail your recipient needs.
