MagicPlan Pricing 2026: What It Actually Costs (And What You Get)

What is MagicPlan?

MagicPlan is a floor plan scanning app that uses your phone's camera to generate room layouts. It's widely used by real estate agents, interior designers, and some contractors for creating quick floor plan sketches. It's not a full field documentation platform — it's primarily a floor plan tool.

How much does MagicPlan cost in 2026?

MagicPlan uses a tiered subscription model with per-project charges on top. This is the part that surprises most new users: the monthly fee is not the only cost.

MagicPlan Starter plan

Free to download and use for basic sketching, but exporting or sharing a floor plan requires either credits or a paid plan. You can sketch as many rooms as you want, but you can't get a usable output without paying.

MagicPlan Pro plan: from $42/month

The Pro plan gives you a set number of project exports per month. Once you exceed your included projects, you pay per additional export. For contractors running multiple jobs simultaneously, costs escalate quickly.

MagicPlan Business plan: from $90/month

The Business plan increases the number of included projects and adds team features. It's aimed at companies running higher project volumes, but still charges per project above the included limit.

Does MagicPlan charge per project or per user?

MagicPlan charges a combination of both — a monthly subscription plus per-project or per-export fees above the plan limit. This is fundamentally different from per-user pricing and makes costs unpredictable for busy contractors. A slow month might cost you $42. A busy month could cost significantly more.

What does MagicPlan include?

• Floor plan generation from phone camera (LiDAR on supported devices)
• Room sketching and editing tools
• PDF and image export (within plan limits)
• Basic measurement tools
• Client sharing via link

What doesn't MagicPlan include?

• Photo documentation or GPS-tagged job site photos
• Checklists or inspection forms
• Team project management
• Punch lists or deficiency tracking
• 3D measurements from video (requires LiDAR-enabled iPhone for any 3D features)
• Offline-first field workflow

MagicPlan is a floor plan tool, not a field management platform. If you need photo documentation, checklists, punch lists, or team coordination alongside your floor plans, you'll need additional software.

Is MagicPlan worth it for contractors?

It depends on what you need. If you exclusively need floor plans and do a small number of projects per month, MagicPlan's Pro plan is workable. If you need floor plans plus photo documentation, checklists, and team features, MagicPlan covers only part of your workflow and you'll end up paying for multiple tools.

How does Manifold compare to MagicPlan on pricing?

Manifold takes a different pricing approach entirely: flat per-user pricing with no per-project charges and no export limits.

• Manifold Photo plan: $16/user/month — unlimited projects, GPS photo documentation, checklists, punch lists, PDF reports, client sharing. No floor plans.
• Manifold Photo+Scan plan: $24/user/month — everything in Photo, plus Orbit Measure (video-based 3D scanning on any phone) and Floor Plan Scan (automatic floor plan generation on iPhone 12 Pro or newer with LiDAR).

No seat minimums. No per-project fees. No export charges. One price per user regardless of how many jobs you run that month.

MagicPlan vs Manifold: which is right for you?

• Choose MagicPlan if: You only need floor plans, you do a small number of projects per month, and you don't need photo documentation or team features.
• Choose Manifold if: You need floor plans alongside photo documentation, checklists, team management, and client sharing — and you want predictable per-user pricing with no per-project surprises.

Does Manifold require LiDAR for floor plans?

Floor Plan Scan (automatic floor plan generation) requires iPhone 12 Pro or newer with LiDAR — the same hardware MagicPlan requires for its best results. However, Manifold's Orbit Measure provides 3D measurements and spatial models from any iOS or Android phone with no LiDAR required. MagicPlan has no equivalent to Orbit Measure.
