pCon.planner review
A capable free room-planning tool with catalogs, rendering, CAD exchange, and presentation exports.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
pCon.planner is a desktop CAD application for architects, interior designers, dealers, and manufacturers working on room layouts and interior spaces. Its core workflow covers 2D and 3D planning, furniture and product model placement, materials, lighting, renderings, and presentations. The cost-free edition gives users access to core room and interior design capabilities, making the product a practical fit for space planning with manufacturer product content. pCon.planner was founded in 2003 and is developed by EasternGraphics GmbH.
The product’s strongest angle is the connection between design work and presentation output. It supports high-resolution and real-time rendering, animations, videos, and panorama creation, while web sharing enables browser-based 3D presentations. CAD and 3D file import/export support exchange with existing design workflows. Product-focused features include manufacturer catalogs, Trimble 3D Warehouse access, article lists, and product information. Integrations with pCon.catalog, pCon.basket, Dropbox, and Microsoft OneDrive extend catalog, product-list, and file-sharing workflows. Augmented-reality exports for mobile devices add a way to present designs beyond the desktop application.
Pricing is split between the cost-free edition and pCon.planner PRO. The free edition covers the core planning experience, while PRO adds advanced professional interior-design features and includes a 30-day free trial. PRO licensing is handled through the vendor or sales partners, with prospects directed to contact the vendor. That structure suits professionals who need deeper capabilities and can evaluate the paid tier before licensing. The trade-off is a desktop-first experience limited to Windows and macOS, with mobile use focused on viewing or augmented-reality exports rather than primary design work. Choose pCon.planner for catalog-led room planning and presentation production; consider another option if you need a primarily mobile or browser-based authoring workflow.
