MagicPlan Pricing 2026: What It Actually Costs Contractors

MagicPlan's pricing looks simple until you exceed your monthly project quota — then it gets expensive fast. Here's the full breakdown.

MagicPlan pricing plans in 2026

Free plan

MagicPlan offers a limited free plan that lets you create basic floor plans. Exports require payment — you can draft in the app but can't get a usable file without upgrading or paying per project.

Starter — approximately $10/month

Includes a small number of projects per month (typically 3–5 depending on current pricing). Suitable for very occasional users. Exceeding the quota triggers per-project charges.

Pro — approximately $25–40/month

Higher monthly project quota, advanced export formats, and team features. Still subject to per-project overage charges above the quota.

Business — approximately $50–100/month

Highest quota, priority support, and additional integrations. Per-project charges still apply above quota.

The overage cost problem

This is the issue most contractors run into. MagicPlan charges approximately $30–40 per project when you exceed your monthly quota. For contractors doing more than a handful of jobs per month, this adds up quickly.

Example: a contractor on the Starter plan doing 10 floor plans per month might have a quota of 3 included. The remaining 7 are billed at ~$35 each — that's $245 in overages on top of the $10 subscription. Total: $255 for a month where they planned to pay $10.

This per-project pricing model works for architects or designers who do occasional plans. It doesn't work well for contractors who document every job.

What MagicPlan includes

• Floor plan creation from LiDAR scan (iPhone Pro required) or manual drawing
• 2D and 3D floor plan exports
• Basic photo attachment to floor plans
• Cost estimation templates
• Limited team collaboration

What it doesn't include: GPS photo documentation, required-photo checklists, PDF job reports, or 3D scanning that works on non-LiDAR phones.

MagicPlan vs Manifold: pricing comparison

Manifold charges per user per month with no per-project fees and no quotas:

• MagicPlan Pro: ~$35/month + $35/project over quota
• Manifold Photo+Scan: $24/user/month — unlimited projects, includes Orbit Measure 3D scanning on any iOS or Android phone

For a contractor doing 10+ jobs per month, Manifold is almost always cheaper. See the full MagicPlan alternative comparison or the MagicPlan vs Manifold breakdown.

Is MagicPlan worth it in 2026?

MagicPlan is excellent if you need structured 2D floor plans occasionally and you stay within your monthly quota. The per-project overage model makes it unpredictable for contractors who document every job.

If you need GPS photo documentation, checklists, and unlimited project scanning — Manifold's per-user model is more predictable and usually cheaper for frequent use.
