The Roomantic difference
The furniture listing belongs on the floor plan
Across the products reviewed for these comparison pages, Roomantic was the only one whose public product workflow centers on pasting a retail furniture URL and placing the listing's measured footprint directly on the room plan.
01
No conversion queue for the floor plan
Canvas creates a scan immediately, but its professionally modeled floor plans and CAD files are ordered deliverables. Roomantic's dimensioned 2D plan is available directly from the scan, so you can make a layout decision while you are still in the room.
02
No area-based bill for everyday planning
Canvas lists Starter 2D floor plans at $0.18 per square foot with a $10 minimum, and Essentials pricing at $0.14 per square foot. Roomantic does not charge by room area or by the number of projects scanned.
03
Movable furniture is included, not stripped out
Canvas deliberately excludes movable items from professional as-built models. Roomantic is built to add them: paste the listing, keep its photo and price, arrange the footprint, and catch overlaps or blocked doorways.
Make the honest choice
When to choose Canvas—and when to choose Roomantic
The better product depends on the output you actually need. Roomantic is intentionally focused, and it does not currently offer 3D room viewing.
Choose Canvas when…
- You need a professionally modeled Revit, SketchUp, Archicad, or Chief Architect file.
- A reviewed as-built with architectural shell detail is the deliverable.
- You are comfortable with per-area pricing and a delivery window.
Choose Roomantic when…
- You need the floor plan immediately rather than in a later delivery.
- You are planning furniture, not commissioning a BIM or CAD model.
- You want unlimited scans and projects without square-footage charges.
Pricing
Pay for the capability you need
Canvas says scanning is free for up to two spaces per month. Its Starter 2D floor plans are listed at $0.18/sq ft with a $10 minimum; Essentials starts at $0.14/sq ft. Roomantic does not charge per square foot for room scans or floor plans.
Questions
FAQ
Is Roomantic a replacement for Canvas Scan to CAD?
Not when you need a professionally modeled Revit, SketchUp, or other 3D as-built. Roomantic is an alternative for immediate 2D planning, analysis, and furniture fit.
How quickly does Roomantic create a floor plan?
The plan is generated on-device from the LiDAR room scan, without submitting a separate conversion order. Scan quality and room complexity still affect the result.
Can Roomantic place furniture from a store website?
Yes, for supported retailers. Paste the product URL and Roomantic uses deterministic listing dimensions to create a true-scale footprint on your plan.
