INK TO BRICK vs Floorplanner: editing, exports and project costs

Floorplanner fits direct layout authoring and a broad catalog, with one-time credit upgrades for presentation output. INK TO BRICK starts from a supplied plan, offers chat-led Basic and direct manual corrections on the same canvas, and exports a reviewed conceptual model.[1][3][5]

Choose INK TO BRICK if

Keep a reviewed reconstruction and its furniture edits available as portable files. There are 20 export formats: every plan covers plans, 3D models, data and images, and DXF, DWG, SKP, IFC and STEP need Pro or Team.[5][7]

Choose Floorplanner if

Browser-based room planning, direct wall editing and a broad furniture library, with project upgrades for presentation output.[1][3]

See the editing workflow

For an editable plan, inspect a wall operation and an opening operation. Drawing shows the running length; the door changes its swing within the same model. Use these specific tasks when comparing each tool’s documented controls.

The demonstrations use native elements in the sample duplex authored in INK TO BRICK.

Walls, fences and columns

Draw walls corner by corner, control snapping and continuation, reshape a wall, and draw fences and columns.

See the steps in the manual

Doors and windows

Place doors and windows on a wall, choose their type and size, flip them, and open and close them.

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 begins with a source drawing as the reconstruction reference. Basic supports chat-led work when an existing allowance is available, and the manual editor offers direct wall and opening controls on the same canvas. Choose it when design alternatives, current-view imagery, public review and portable exports should stay connected to a saved revision.

A one-project presentation does not always need a subscription

Floorplanner’s free project allows three floors and three designs per floor, with watermarked SD output. One-time upgrades use 2, 5, 10 or 20 credits for SD, HD, 4K or 8K, and upgraded projects allow seven floors and ten designs per floor. A subscription and a project upgrade answer different needs.[2][3]

One-off Floorplanner credits start at $8.15 for five. Its current subscription figures were not reliably readable on October 6, 2026, so none is repeated from older pricing. INK TO BRICK offers Home at $6.99 a month, Home Max at $19.99, Plural at $39, Core at $39, Pro at $69 and Team at $149; credits, projects and physical floors are different units. Compare the upgrade and export needed to finish your task.[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 plans, ten 3D model formats, JSON/CSV/XLSX data and PNG/JPEG/WebP views. Basic formats are included on every plan; DXF, DWG, SKP, IFC and STEP require Pro or Team. IFC is a conceptual semantic handoff, and STEP carries faceted surfaces without parametric history. Inspect a sample in the destination.[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 a single presentation, Floorplanner’s credit upgrades can be a flexible choice. INK TO BRICK plans set the floors per home or project, up to 2 on Home, 4 on Home Max and Plural, 3 on Core, 6 on Pro and 10 on Team, with credits each month. Confirm the source, output and revision your recipient actually needs.

Review the evidence, then try your source

Check a wall or opening the rendering could hide, not just the final picture. The Isla de Pascua story combines original SketchUp and plan dimensions with MCP/AI refinement using photographs and video; it is a visual interpretation. The duplex is an authored sample demonstrating editor and presentation work, not proof of automatic reconstruction. Use these examples to choose the review you need to perform on your own drawing.[8][9]

Try your clearest one-floor plan. You see your home in 3D before you pay, and a plan is needed to edit it. A failed build goes back to your monthly builds. Check the required export and final checkout first. Pro and Team include MCP; Team includes API access. The account, editor and billing application currently use English.[7]
