Best Home Design Software for Mac

Completely free and open-source for personal and commercial use with no feature paywall; the only real limit is that the online and mobile versions can't import custom 3D models or export OBJ, which the desktop app handles.

Free forever (not a trial) with the full library and real-time 3D, but capped at 2 projects and roughly 30-50 objects each, with no custom-model import and only limited AI render credits before you need Pro.

The free version limits you to one active project at a time, watermarks all image and video exports, and disables 3D-model export entirely; a one-time Standard purchase removes those limits.

Free to design unlimited 2D/3D projects, but about half the furniture catalog is locked, you get no proper renders, and DWG/DXF export plus custom 3D import require the Professional plan.

Free to draw accurate floor plans and view low-res 3D snapshots, but you can't download, print, or export a finished 2D/3D plan until you pay about $4 per output or subscribe to Pro, and free is capped at 2 projects.

SketchUp Free is free for personal, non-commercial use in the browser only; you can model and download skp/png/stl, but DWG/DXF/OBJ/PDF export, the desktop app, and extensions all require a paid plan.

There's no free tier, only a non-expiring trial that disables saving, printing, exporting, and walkthrough recording, so you can explore in 3D but can't get any work out without a paid subscription.
