FloorLens

Review

FloorLens is a LiDAR room-scanning app that produces measured plans, 3D models and shareable tours. It best suits renovation and property work done on a supported Apple device. Its appeal is a scan-to-share workflow with broad exports; its measurements remain estimates, not survey-grade records.

Overview

FloorLens combines room capture, editing and presentation. It automatically measures walls, room areas, ceiling heights and objects, and users can edit walls and objects before sharing or exporting. Browser tours let recipients switch among dollhouse, floor-plan and first-person photo views without installing an app or creating a viewer account. That makes it practical for showing a space to clients, tenants or collaborators who do not use FloorLens.

Plans can be aligned to magnetic north, and the model includes sun position and shadows for the scan location. Country profiles cover area standards including ANSI Z765, Gross Internal Area, RMS, WoFlV and SIA 416. These options help make measurements more context-aware, but FloorLens describes its outputs as scan estimates rather than surveys. Use them for planning and communication, not as a substitute for a survey when exact surveyed measurements are required.

Key features

Exports include measured PDFs and JPG, PNG and SVG views, plus GLB, USDZ and OBJ models and MP4 fly-through videos. That range is useful whether a renovation discussion calls for a quick document, a model or a visual walkthrough. Web links and QR codes make sharing straightforward; Premium adds iCloud sync between devices. Scans, plans and measurements run on the device, and scans reach the cloud only when users choose to share them. An account is optional, and shared scans can be deleted from the cloud through the app.

The Free plan includes a basic scan without texture, alongside PDF, image, 3D model and MP4 exports. The textured walls and 3D experience arrive with Premium, so the free tier can demonstrate the workflow but is less suited to polished visual presentations.

Pricing

FloorLens is freemium, with a free plan and a free trial. Free costs 0.00 USD per free and allows 1 web scan; its link and QR access auto-deletes after 14 days. It includes basic scans without texture and the listed export formats. This is a useful starting point for occasional capture, but the single active web scan and short link life constrain ongoing project sharing.

Premium costs 6.99 USD per month, billed, or $2.99/week; $39.99 a year. It raises the allowance to up to 3 web scans at a time, keeps links for 90 days, and adds textured walls and 3D, iCloud sync and branded PDFs. It is the more practical tier for homeowners or small practices presenting several spaces and wanting longer-lived links.

Professional costs 19.99 USD per month, billed, or $149.99 a year. It includes Premium features, supports up to 30 web scans and extends links to 180 days, making it a better fit for agents or renovation professionals managing multiple properties at once. Enterprise has custom pricing with usage-based billing, more cloud scan exports per month and priority support, for organizations needing higher export volume and support. The listed maximum projects is 3, so readers should distinguish that cap from the separate web-scan allowances when planning their workload.

Platforms

FloorLens supports iOS, macOS and web. Scanning requires iOS 26 and a LiDAR-capable iPhone 12 Pro or later, or an iPad Pro; there is no Android version. This is a meaningful gate for contractors and homeowners without qualifying Apple hardware, even though tours themselves open in a browser.

Who it's for

FloorLens suits real-estate agents, landlords, architects, renovators, interior designers and people planning a move or renovation who want measured spatial references and a way to share them. Homeowners can use it to communicate room layouts and dimensions, while professionals may value the editable scans, multiple formats and browser tours. It is not the right choice for an Android-only workflow or for work that depends on survey-certified measurements.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Browser tours include three viewing modes and need no app or viewer account, reducing friction when sharing with clients or household members.
• Pros: Exports span measured documents, common images, three 3D model formats and MP4, giving renovation teams options for different handoffs.
• Pros: On-device scanning and optional sharing keep capture local unless a user elects to upload it; shared scans can also be deleted from the cloud.
• Cons: Capture requires a recent LiDAR-capable Apple device running iOS 26, excluding Android users and older or unsupported Apple hardware.
• Cons: The outputs are estimates rather than surveys, so they should not be treated as survey-grade measurements.
• Cons: Free allows only one web scan at a time and links expire after 14 days, limiting its usefulness for sustained client or project sharing.

Alternatives

For broader design tools or platform choice, consider Planner 5D: it supports Android, iOS, macOS, web and Windows, and its Premium annual plan includes floor-plan upload and conversion to a 3D project. Choose Ritn3D if a browser-based floor-plan editor and a free allowance of three monthly renders with sharing for up to five people better match the job.

CubiCasa is an alternative for users seeking a 2D floor plan with room dimensions and PNG or JPG output on Android, iOS or web. For web-based AI generation rather than LiDAR capture, FloorAI offers four free floor-plan generations and an editor. FloorDrafter is another web option, with free signup and daily check-in credits for watermarked 2K PNG output.

Teams considering another scan-focused option can compare Metaroom, which supports iOS and web and offers a 30-day Pro trial with unlimited scans and all export formats. RoomSketcher supports a wider range of platforms and includes 2D and 3D floor plans in its free plan. AI Floor Plan is a paid web option for users seeking AI design tools, with its Starter plan priced at 19.99 USD per month.

Verdict

FloorLens is a strong fit for Apple-equipped homeowners and property professionals who need editable LiDAR plans, flexible exports and tours that are easy to share. Its main advantage is carrying a scan through measurement, presentation and handoff in one workflow. Look elsewhere if your device cannot scan with LiDAR, or if the project requires survey-grade measurements rather than estimates.
