AgroForest Designer review
A focused web planner for measured planting, terrain analysis and agroforestry projects.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
AgroForest Designer is a web-based planning application for food forests, agroforestry projects, gardens and layered planting systems. It is aimed at garden owners, educators, designers, advisers and teams managing multiple projects. The tool combines measured site planning with map, satellite, combined and orthomap views; a searchable plant database; reusable planting recipes; custom planting-plan generation; editable paths, structures and access networks; and sun, shade and elevation review. It is a specialized choice for planting-led site planning rather than a general landscape construction design system.
Pricing is structured as a free plan and three paid monthly tiers. The Free plan costs €0 per month and includes the plant database, digital site and planting planner, custom planting-plan generation, path and structure templates, sun, shade and elevation review, and planting-plan inventory export. The Starter plan is €14.99 per month and lists the same highlights. Pro costs €24.99 per month and adds professional delivery tools, 3D visualization, technical drawings, planting-plan sharing, backup and data export, and QGIS interoperability. Max costs €49.99 per month and lists those same Pro highlights. According to the published plans, the Free tier is continuing access rather than a time-limited trial.
The standout fit is the connection between planting decisions and site conditions. Users can adjust planting horizons, density and targets, review shade and elevation contours, inspect interactive 3D growth stages, and produce plant inventories, harvest calendars, PDF or technical outputs. QGIS interoperability is available through GeoPackage export and synchronization, while Google Maps is listed among the integrations. Choose AgroForest Designer when measured planting, agroforestry structure and land analysis are central to the work. Choose an alternative when the project requires a broader landscape-construction workflow or a platform beyond the web.
AgroForest Designer pros and cons
- Where it wins
- Free plan includes measured mapping, planting plans and terrain analysis
- 3D growth views, inventories and technical outputs support project delivery
- QGIS interoperability connects planting plans with GeoPackage workflows
- Where it doesn't
- Its focus is planting and land planning, not full landscape construction design
- 3D visualization and technical drawings start with the Pro plan
- The web-only platform may not suit users seeking desktop or mobile apps
