Roomantic vs. Polycam

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
Furniture shopping is the primary workflow
Polycam turns physical spaces and objects into digital captures. Roomantic connects a physical room to the furniture web: the product URL supplies the item identity, photo, price, and dimensions used for its plan footprint.
02
Floor plans are not reserved for a team plan
Polycam's current pricing page places 2D and 3D floor plans in Business, listed at $400 per user per year. Roomantic keeps room scanning and project creation unlimited and treats the floor plan as the starting surface.
03
Less capture infrastructure, more room context
Roomantic is intentionally narrower. It trades Polycam's mesh and point-cloud depth for a calm floor-plan workflow, automatic analysis, fit warnings, a furniture cart, and private browser sharing.
Make the honest choice
When to choose Polycam—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 Polycam when…
- You need a 3D mesh, Gaussian splat, point cloud, or virtual walkthrough.
- You need a shared team library, centralized billing, or enterprise controls.
- Your downstream workflow depends on broad 3D export formats.
Choose Roomantic when…
- Your real question is whether a sofa, table, or bed will fit.
- You want floor plans and room analysis without a business capture platform.
- You prefer unlimited room scans and projects over tier-based capture limits.
Pricing
Pay for the capability you need
Polycam lists Free, Basic, Business, and Enterprise tiers. Its pricing page lists Basic at $150/year and Business—with floor plans and advanced measurements—at $400/year per user. Roomantic does not meter projects or room scans.
Questions
FAQ
Is Roomantic better than Polycam for 3D scanning?
No. Polycam is the better choice when the output is a 3D model, point cloud, or walkthrough. Roomantic does not currently offer a 3D viewing or export workflow.
Which app is better for furniture shopping?
Roomantic is purpose-built for it. You can paste a supported furniture product page and place the listing's real measured footprint directly on your plan.
Does Roomantic require LiDAR?
LiDAR is required for automatic room scanning. You can also draft a room manually on supported devices or in the browser.
