Where DrawPlan is stronger
Tracing
Import a plan or photo and draw over it.
Drawing help
Free sketching or to-scale drawing, plus AI that helps lay out the plan. The AI runs on credits sold separately, from $4.99 to $19.99 (US), and recent reviews describe it unable to place what it offered to.
Older iPhones and more languages
It runs on iOS 15 or later, in 38 languages; Scooch needs iOS 26 and has 16.
Where Scooch is stronger
It opens
Scooch runs on iOS 26 and iOS 27. In our tests on iOS 27.0.1, DrawPlan 6.0.1 closed itself at every launch.
A warning before you lift anything
Scooch outlines in red a piece that overlaps another or sticks out of the room. DrawPlan's listing does not describe a check like that.
Your plans stay yours
After the one-time unlock every plan opens, exports as PNG or PDF and syncs through your own iCloud. DrawPlan's listing puts sync and clean exports behind a subscription.

DrawPlan and Scooch, side by side
Screens we captured ourselves, DrawPlan on the left, Scooch on the right. Ours ran on an EU App Store account, so prices on screen are in euros.†
Opening the app
What DrawPlan 6.0.1 showed us on iOS 27: nothing, it closed at every launch (a stand-in, not a capture).
What we saw using DrawPlan
On 23 October 2026, on an iPhone 11 Pro Max with iOS 27.0.1, on an EU App Store account.†
- In our tests on iOS 27.0.1, version 6.0.1 closed itself at every launch, so we could not use it.
- Its crash report points at a check iOS 27 now enforces on how apps start. If your iPhone is not on iOS 27 yet, this may not affect you.
What Scooch does not do
- Trace a plan or photo. You type or drag the room's measurements.
- Sketch freehand. Rooms and furniture snap to real sizes.
- Charge monthly to sync or export. $9.99 once covers every plan, PNG and PDF export and iCloud sync.
What recent reviews of DrawPlan mention
From the 100 most recent US App Store reviews of DrawPlan, read on 23 October 2026. These are individual experiences, not tests we ran, but these themes came up more than once:
- having to subscribe to open a plan they had already drawn and saved (its 22 October update says saved plans are free to open again)
- saved plans that would not open or disappeared after an update
- no way to enter exact wall lengths or keep the plan to scale

Questions
Is DrawPlan free?
It is a free download; per its listing, cloud sync, high-resolution exports and exports without grids or watermarks need a subscription, from $2.99 a month or $29.99 a year (US).
Does DrawPlan work on iOS 27?
Not in our tests on iOS 27.0.1: version 6.0.1 closed itself at every launch (23 October 2026). Its crash report points at a check iOS 27 now enforces on how apps start.
Does DrawPlan warn when furniture will not fit?
Its listing does not describe a check like that, and we could not open it to test one. Scooch outlines a piece in red when it overlaps another or sticks out of the room.
Try Scooch
Rooms at their real size, furniture at real sizes, and a red outline when something does not fit. $9.99 once.
* We make Scooch, so weigh our view accordingly. Facts about the other apps come from their US App Store listings, purchase lists, privacy labels and public US reviews, checked on 23 October 2026, and from using each app ourselves. Versions compared: DrawPlan 6.0.1, Scooch 1.0.2.
** US App Store prices. The US list does not name plan lengths, so a plan's length comes from the app's own upgrade screen, and a US price is used only where it clearly matches that plan. “Cost for one year if subscribed” is the cheapest listed plan that covers 12 months. A mark on “Pay once” only says whether a one-time unlock exists; “6× ours” compares a price with Scooch's $9.99 once.
*** As each listing describes it. A dash means the listing does not say, not that the app cannot do it.
† What we saw using each app ourselves, on 23 October 2026, on an iPhone 11 Pro Max with iOS 27.0.1, on an EU App Store account; screens from that account show euro prices, the prices on this page are the US ones. Offers can differ by country and change over time. On “Plan without paying”, a tick means free with no ads, amber means free with ads, an account or locked parts, a cross means a payment or a trial comes first, and a dash that we could not open the app. “Warns when furniture does not fit” is what happened when we took a furnished room from each app's own samples or templates and moved the coffee table onto the sofa.
