COOHOM is browser-based interior design software that takes you from a blank floor plan to a photorealistic render without installing anything. The pitch on its homepage is to create free 2D and 3D floor plans, customize layouts, and preview interiors online, and the workflow behind that is genuinely short: draw, upload or pick a template for the plan, furnish the space in real-time 3D from a stock library, then render. The vendor's own speed claim is that you can create a 3D home design in 10 minutes, render a stunning visual in just 10 seconds.
What separates it from a generic 3D package is that the entire pipeline is pre-built for one domain. You are not modeling a chair; you are placing a chair from a library of 600,000+ 3D models and decor options and letting a cloud renderer handle the lighting. That specialization is also what makes it approachable to people who have never opened SketchUp, which is precisely the audience the free tier is designed to capture.
The product spans a wider range than a hobbyist tool, though, and that is the part worth understanding before choosing a tier. At the top end it produces downloadable construction drawings, exports a bill of materials, and offers design-to-manufacturing system integration — capabilities aimed at furniture retailers and manufacturers rather than homeowners. The five product lines the site advertises are floor planner, online room planner, 3D visualization, decor and styling, and AI home design, with a separate AIHom Beta entry point.
On the corporate side, the service is operated by COOHOM INC., covering online design tools, rendering services, and online design training. Coohom is the international version of Kujiale, the Chinese platform built by Manycore Tech, launched for overseas markets in 2018. That parentage matters mainly for context on staying power, covered in the limitations section.
The free Basic tier is unusually usable, which is the product's strongest acquisition asset. Basic is free but caps you at three design projects per account and renders 1K images with a watermark, at standard queue speed — but it includes the full asset library and the modeling tool. For a homeowner planning one room, this may be the entire job.
The paid ladder is organized by output rather than by feature count. Pro at 29 dollars a month lifts that to unlimited projects and unlimited 4K image renders, unlimited 8K 360 degree walkthroughs, four 1080p videos a month, doubled render speed and no watermark, with a seven-day free trial. Elite at 69 dollars per seat per month adds team-internal project sharing and editing, thirty 8K renders a month, and downloadable floor plan and construction drawings — the tier where output becomes buildable. Enterprise is quote-only and adds cross-company sharing, parametric asset building, design-to-manufacturing system integration and custom quotation generation, with 8K metered at 400 renders a year.
The vendor's own tier guidance is the most useful purchasing signal it publishes, and it is refreshingly blunt: Pro is described as concept design only, no implementation, while Elite is the tier that lets a studio use construction drawings to implement. If your work has to be built, Pro is not your tier regardless of how good the renders look.
Billing runs monthly or yearly with a stated 17% annual saving, in USD or EUR, and the pricing page runs a permanent countdown-timer promotion. Two cautions belong here rather than in the fine print. First, export capability has been reported as gated above the tier buyers expected — see limitations. Second, intro pricing has drawn sustained complaints about renewal clarity. (Pricing and promotional terms change frequently on this product; verify current figures and exactly which exports your tier includes before subscribing.)
The most consequential thing to understand is what the terms say about your own output, because it is stricter than most users would assume. The service states that all services, outputs, and actions are provided as is and as available without warranties of any kind, disclaiming fitness for purpose, accuracy and reliability. More pointedly for a tool sold on commercial delivery, the agreement asks users to covenant not to use such content for commercial purposes without independent verification. Read literally, that places the verification burden for any AI-generated element squarely on you before it reaches a client.
The content licensing is broader still and deserves attention from anyone working under confidentiality. Using the service grants a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, analyze, and otherwise exploit your generated content, with those rights surviving account termination, and a separate clause states that you irrevocably permit Coohom to employ Content you uploaded and AI-generated outputs for platform improvement, machine learning and model training. No opt-out is described. If you upload a client's floor plan or a proprietary product model, that is the arrangement you are accepting. Separately, if the company terminates your access for a terms violation while you hold a subscription, you will not be entitled to any refund.
Export restrictions are the single most repeated complaint from paying customers, and they bear directly on whether the tool fits a professional workflow. One reviewer on a paid plan reported that exporting the plan to PDF or DWG requires another upgrade, discovered only after a full day of work, arguing the entry paid tier is not genuinely usable for professional delivery and that total cost then exceeds SketchUp or AutoCAD. Another, on the top tier, reported that the service would no longer support exporting projects to FBX or OBJ formats and that render quality had declined. Verify your required export path before subscribing, not after.
Output fidelity and performance also draw criticism. One user reported that changes to furniture dimensions were not reflected in the downloadable drawing and that room names disappeared from it, along with limited assets for their needs — a serious issue if drawings are your deliverable. Others describe the slowest program they had used and extremely unresponsive behavior, plus intermittent failures to load the site.
Billing practice is the third recurring theme. Reviewers report being charged after a trial without notification, and one recounts having cancelled on the renewal day, yet they still charged, with a refund refused. Another documented promotional checkout wording where the next renewal amount is greyed out at checkout while the promotional monthly figure is prominent. Note also that the checkout in that account showed payment going to Coohom (Hong Kong) Limited, while the user agreement names COOHOM INC. as the operator — two different entity names a buyer may encounter.
On third-party sentiment overall, the picture is genuinely mixed rather than bad. The listing carries a TrustScore of 3.4 across 200 reviews, with 76% at five stars but 10% at one star — a sample large enough to be meaningful and a distribution that is strongly bimodal, which usually indicates a product that works well for its core case and fails hard outside it. Trustpilot's own top mentions for the listing are Subscription, Customer service, Price and Refund, and the platform notes the company has never solicited reviews. For category context, Planner 5D sits at 2.5 across 837 reviews and Homestyler at 2.9, so low ratings are common across browser-based design tools. The homepage badge claiming 4.5 out of 5 on G2 could not be checked first-hand because that site blocked both access routes, so treat it as a vendor-stated claim rather than a verified rating.
Vendor figures are also internally inconsistent: the homepage counts 600,000+ models while the pricing tiers each advertise 1 million+ branded 3D assets, captured the same day.
Finally, on the question of staying power, the parent company's finances are worth knowing without overstating their relevance. Coohom is the international version of Kujiale, the Chinese platform built by Manycore Tech, and the parent listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on 17 April 2026 after an abandoned Nasdaq attempt in 2021. Independent reporting from February 2025 recorded revenue of 663 million yuan in 2023, up a mediocre 10%, against a loss of 646 million yuan for 2023, narrowed from 704 million a year earlier, driven largely by high R&D expenses — losses then running at nearly the scale of annual revenue. That same analysis noted that AI is used more than 100 times in the Hong Kong prospectus against 24 mentions in the 2021 New York filing, which is a fair signal that the AI framing is recent positioning rather than long-standing product identity. A subsequent listing changes the funding picture, but the historical pattern is worth weighing if you are building a business process on this platform.
Genuinely usable within limits. Basic is free but caps you at three design projects per account and renders 1K images with a watermark, while still giving access to the asset library and modeling tool. For a homeowner planning one or two rooms, that is often the whole job. For anyone delivering to clients, the watermark alone rules it out.
Elite or above, and the vendor says so itself. Pro is described as concept design only, no implementation, while Elite is the tier that lets a studio use construction drawings to implement. Buying Pro for a project that needs drawings is the most expensive mistake available here.
Verify this for your specific tier before paying, because it is the most common complaint from paying users. One reviewer found that exporting the plan to PDF or DWG requires another upgrade beyond the tier they had bought, and another on the top tier reported the service would no longer support exporting projects to FBX or OBJ formats. Export capability has clearly shifted over time, so confirm the current state on your own account rather than relying on any published summary.
You keep your work, but you also grant a great deal. The terms require granting a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, analyze, and otherwise exploit your generated content, surviving account termination, and separately state that you irrevocably permit Coohom to employ Content you uploaded and AI-generated outputs for platform improvement, machine learning and model training. There is no described opt-out, which matters if you handle confidential client material.
Commercially yes in the ordinary sense, but with a condition worth reading carefully: the agreement asks you to covenant not to use such content for commercial purposes without independent verification, because AI-generated output may contain errors. Practically, that means checking dimensions, specifications and materials yourself before anything goes to a client or a contractor.
Useful for ideation, not for final answers. It can instantly generate layouts, try different styles, and take a virtual walkthrough, which is genuinely helpful against a blank page. But the terms disclaim accuracy entirely, and third-party user feedback on AI quality is mixed to negative. Generate options with it, then correct by hand.
Different tool for a different job. This is faster to start, needs no modeling skill, includes a furniture library and renders in the cloud. SketchUp gives far more geometric freedom; AutoCAD gives precision and drawing authority. The relevant critique is one reviewer's point that once export upgrades are added, cost can exceed those tools while offering less freedom with your own files — so the comparison depends heavily on whether you need library-driven speed or file-level control.
Because the product serves two very different audiences. It carries a TrustScore of 3.4 across 200 reviews, with 76% at five stars but 10% at one star. The five-star reports come from people whose project fit the library and the workflow; the one-star reports cluster on export limits, billing and support. For context, Planner 5D sits at 2.5 across 837 reviews and Homestyler at 2.9, so this is a category-wide pattern rather than an outlier.
Renewal terms above all. Reviewers report being charged after a trial without notification, one having cancelled on the renewal day, yet they still charged, and another documented checkout wording where the next renewal amount is greyed out at checkout. Record what you agreed to, note the renewal date, and confirm your export needs are covered before the trial converts.
It has real scale and is now publicly listed, but the historical financials warrant attention. Coohom is the international version of Kujiale, the Chinese platform built by Manycore Tech, and the parent listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on 17 April 2026. Independent reporting recorded revenue of 663 million yuan in 2023, up a mediocre 10%, alongside a loss of 646 million yuan for 2023, narrowed from 704 million a year earlier. A public listing improves the funding position materially, but if you are standardizing a studio workflow on this platform, keep your source plans archived in a neutral format.
