Where each is stronger.
Where HomeGlow is stronger
- It redesigns your real photo instead of building a model from scratch.
- Twenty task-specific tools sit in one place: whole-room restyle, wall colours, floors, exterior, landscape, declutter, cleanup, lighting and more.
- PRO users can refine a result in plain language, such as "make the sofa emerald velvet".
- Photos are stored privately and are public only if you share a design to the Discover gallery.
Where Planner 5D is stronger
- Measured, dimensioned 3D planning.
- A furniture catalogue and a free plan with unlimited projects.
- Apps on web, iOS, Android, Windows and macOS.
Where HomeGlow falls short
- HomeGlow is new and small. There is no long track record or large body of independent reviews.
- There is no iPhone app yet (one is in preparation) and no Android app. HomeGlow runs in a web browser and as a Telegram Mini App.
- The free tier is 1 free watermarked generation, and Colorways and refining a result are PRO features.
- It does not link to real products, estimate costs or export CAD or 3D model files.
- HD upscale is available on PRO only, and there is no video.
- HomeGlow does not work from dimensions, so it cannot tell you whether furniture fits.

Planner 5D vs AI interior design apps?

Can HomeGlow plan a room to scale?
No. HomeGlow redesigns a photo and does not use measurements. For a scaled plan, use a dimensioned planner.
Planner 5D free plan limits?

If you need a measured 3D model, a dedicated planner is the right tool. HomeGlow produces a visual render only.
