MagicPlan Pricing in 2026: What Contractors Actually Pay

MagicPlan has one of the more unusual pricing models in the field documentation space: instead of charging per user, it charges per project. That works well for some teams and becomes expensive for others. Here's the full breakdown of what MagicPlan actually costs in 2026.

How MagicPlan Pricing Works

MagicPlan's Pro plans are structured around a monthly project quota. Each "project" is one property or job site, including all floor plans, documentation, exports, and reports for that site.

Key pricing details:

• Plans start at 10 new projects per month
• Unused projects roll over to the following month
• All plans include unlimited users at no extra charge
• If you exceed your monthly project quota, extra projects are billed at $40 per project
• Plans start at approximately $149/month for the entry tier

The Per-Project Model: When It Works and When It Doesn't

The per-project, unlimited-users model makes sense for specific types of businesses:

It works well for: Large teams with relatively few monthly jobs. If you have 10 field staff but only run 8 projects a month, you're getting a lot of users for a predictable monthly rate.

It gets expensive for: Smaller teams with high job volume. A 2-person operation doing 25–30 jobs a month would blow past the base project quota every month, paying $40 for each extra job. At 30 jobs on a 10-project plan, that's $800 in overage on top of the subscription.

What's Included in MagicPlan

MagicPlan is primarily a floor plan and sketching tool with field documentation add-ons. Core features include:

• LiDAR-powered floor plan scanning via phone camera
• 2D and 3D floor plan generation
• Photo and note documentation per room
• Custom forms and checklists
• PDF report generation
• Xactimate and CoreLogic integration (strong for insurance/restoration workflows)

Notably, MagicPlan is heavily oriented toward restoration and insurance claims professionals. Its Xactimate integration is a key selling point for that vertical. For general construction field teams, many of these features are useful but the overall product is shaped around a different buyer.

How Manifold's Pricing Compares

Manifold takes the opposite approach: charge per user, with unlimited projects.

• Photo plan: $16/user/month — GPS photos, checklists, reports, client sharing, unlimited projects
• Photo+Scan plan: $24/user/month — everything above plus full 3D scanning and auto-generated floor plans, unlimited projects
• No per-project charges, no overage fees

For a 3-person team doing 30 jobs a month, Manifold Photo+Scan costs $72/month flat. No surprises at billing.

Which Model Is Right for You?

The honest answer: it depends on your team-to-job ratio.

• If you have a large team (10+ users) and moderate job volume (under 15/month) — MagicPlan's unlimited-users model may be cost-effective
• If you're a small team doing a lot of jobs — per-user unlimited projects (Manifold) will almost always be cheaper
• If you need more than just floor plans — GPS photo documentation, offline workflows, crew management — Manifold is built for that whole picture, not just the sketch
