At a glance

FloorLens — instant plan + 3D + a one-tap web tour

FloorLens turns an iPhone or iPad LiDAR scan into a floor plan and an editable 3D scene at the same time — no upload, no waiting, no separate "generate" step — with measurements computed automatically. Its standout is sharing: you send a link and QR code, and the recipient opens an interactive 3D viewer (dollhouse, floor plan and first-person photo modes) right in the browser, with no app and no login. It's free to scan, measure and export a PDF, with Premium at $5.99/month. Best for agents and landlords who want a fast, all-in-one iPhone workflow and an effortless way to hand clients a 3D walkthrough. New here? See how to make a floor plan from an iPhone LiDAR scan.

Matterport — immersive, camera-grade virtual tours

Matterport is the best-known name in immersive 3D "dollhouse" virtual tours. You can capture with a phone, but its most polished results come from dedicated 360° cameras, and tours are hosted in Matterport's cloud and shared via a link. Floor plans are typically a separate paid deliverable. Best for teams whose priority is a high-end, camera-quality virtual tour and who are comfortable investing in the hardware and a subscription.

CubiCasa — professional floor plans from a phone video

CubiCasa specialises in the floor plan itself. You record a video walkthrough with any smartphone — no LiDAR required — upload it, and get back a professional floor plan, often with certified square footage (GLA). It's processed rather than instant, so the plan comes back after upload rather than on the spot. Best for agents who mainly need MLS-ready, measurement-accurate floor plans and don't need an interactive 3D tour clients explore.

magicplan — field documentation & estimates

magicplan leans toward on-site field documentation and the trades (contractors, restoration, insurance) as much as real estate. You build a plan on location with the camera/AR, attach photos and notes, and can add cost estimates, then export to formats like PDF. Best for job-site reports and estimates where the floor plan is one part of a larger field-documentation workflow.

Which should you choose?

• Choose FloorLens if you have a LiDAR iPhone/iPad and want an instant, low-cost, all-in-one workflow — plan, 3D and a shareable web tour clients open in one tap.
• Choose Matterport if a premium, immersive virtual tour is the priority and you'll invest in cameras and a subscription.
• Choose CubiCasa if you mainly need certified, MLS-ready floor plans and don't mind uploading a video and waiting for processing.
• Choose magicplan if you're documenting job sites and need estimates and field reports alongside the floor plan.

Which is fastest to a finished floor plan?
