iScape
What it is
iScape is a landscape design app for visualizing outdoor projects before work begins. It lets users create 2D or 3D augmented reality designs using photos of a yard or job site, then add plants, pavers, furniture, hardscape elements and other real-world materials from its library. Designs can be shared with clients, family or landscape installation professionals for feedback. The Free plan includes 2D and 3D design, but access to the database and features is limited, including reduced access to plants, hardscapes and products. Pro adds full database and feature access, thousands of plants, hardscapes and products, a proposal tool, and the ability to upload personal images. Pro is $29.99 per month; an annual Pro option costs $299.99 per year and includes a per-user license. Pro users can create customizable PDF proposals with pricing, business information and contact details. Enterprise lists multiple licenses, premium customer support, customization and integrations. iScape supports iOS, Android and macOS. Its annual plan specifies 2D and 3D design on iOS only.

The long read
iScape is an outdoor design app built around photos of yards and job sites. It is most useful to homeowners shaping a planting or hardscape plan and to landscape professionals presenting ideas to clients. Its strongest case is visualizing real materials in a real setting; full library access and proposal tools come at a meaningful monthly cost.
Overview
Rather than starting with an empty floor plan, iScape lets users build 2D or 3D augmented reality designs over photos of an outdoor space. Plants, pavers, furniture and other hardscape elements give a design discussion concrete choices, and the planting-plan feature adds relevance for users focused on garden layouts. Sharing designs with family, clients or installation professionals makes the app useful as a feedback tool before work begins.
The photo-led approach is a better fit for landscape decisions than for planning rooms or whole-home interiors. Its free tier can introduce the workflow, but the restricted database and reduced selection of plants, hardscapes and products limit how far users can develop an idea without upgrading.
Key features
Outdoor design on site photos
Users can create 2D and 3D augmented reality designs on photos of a yard or job site. That makes it easier to discuss proposed materials in context than to rely on a list alone. The main constraint is that the Free plan offers reduced catalog access, so it is less suited to comparing a broad range of products.
Materials, sharing and proposals
The library includes thousands of plants, hardscapes and products on Pro, alongside pavers, furniture and other real-world materials. Designs can be shared for feedback, which suits household decisions as well as client conversations. Pro also adds customizable PDF proposals with pricing, business information and contact information. For professionals, that proposal function is a concrete advantage; homeowners who only want to visualize a few changes may not need it.
Pricing
The Free plan costs nothing and includes 2D and 3D design, but database and feature access are limited, including reduced access to plants, hardscapes and products. It is the sensible starting point for casual exploration, not a substitute for the full library.
Pro costs $29.99 a month, billed monthly. It provides full database and feature access, thousands of plants, hardscapes and products, a proposal tool and image uploads. This is the right tier for regular design work or client proposals, but the monthly cost is difficult to justify for occasional personal projects.
PRO annual costs $299.99 a year, billed yearly, with a per-user license, full database and features, proposals, image uploads, and 2D and 3D design on iOS only. At the stated rates, annual billing costs less than twelve monthly Pro payments for one user, but the iOS-only 2D and 3D design qualification matters to anyone choosing a platform. Enterprise has custom pricing and offers multiple licenses, premium customer support, customization and integrations.
Platforms
iScape supports iOS, Android and macOS. The annual plan specifies that 2D and 3D design is iOS only, so users should not assume the same design access across platforms. The service also has a web presence, but the supported-platform list identifies iOS, Android and macOS.
Who it's for
Homeowners and DIY enthusiasts can use the free plan to sketch outdoor changes and share them for input, provided the reduced catalog is enough. Pro is better suited to landscape professionals who need broad material selection, image uploads and proposals, while Enterprise is aimed at users needing multiple licenses or customization. iScape is not the natural choice for a reader whose main goal is indoor room design.
Pros and cons
- Pro: Photo-based 2D and 3D design ties choices to the actual yard or job site.
- Pro: Pro's full library and proposal tool support more complete client presentations.
- Pro: Sharing designs gives family members, clients and installers a way to respond before work starts.
- Con: Free access reduces the available plants, hardscapes and products, limiting material exploration.
- Con: Pro's $29.99 monthly price is a substantial step for a homeowner with occasional needs.
- Con: The annual plan limits 2D and 3D design to iOS, a material caveat for users on other platforms.
Alternatives
For indoor projects, room and home design apps are a better starting point. Planner 5D is worth considering for floor-plan-to-3D work and a full premium furniture catalog; its Premium plan is $59.99 a year.
Sweet Home 3D offers a free desktop or online version, making it an alternative for users who want a free home-design option. Live Home 3D has a free app with in-app Standard and Pro subscriptions and lifetime licenses, another route for home-design work.
RoomSketcher starts with two credits and includes 2D and 3D floor plans, 3D snapshots and an AI render, so it better suits floor-plan-focused projects. Coohom offers a free Starter plan with a large furniture catalog, ten renders per month and three shareable links for users prioritizing interior catalog and rendering tools.
pCon.planner has a free Marketing Edition that works with configurable product data from a supplier, a better fit when that supplier-driven workflow matters. Blophome offers a free Classic plan with five standard renders per day and 24 manufacturer catalogs. Homestyler has a free Basic plan with unlimited 1K rendering and more than 100,000 free 3D models and materials, for users focused on interior renders and models.
Verdict
Choose iScape if you need to visualize planting and hardscape ideas on photos of an actual outdoor space and share them before work begins. Its real-material library and professional proposal tools give it a clear role for landscape projects; look elsewhere if your priority is indoor room design, or if the restricted free catalog is not enough and Pro's monthly cost is hard to support.
