Yes, and more of it is free than you would expect. The Basic plan has no time limit, unlimited projects, a library of over a million 3D models, and unlimited renders at 1K resolution. You can design a whole apartment without paying.
What you cannot do for free is show the result to anyone. Every render on Basic carries a Homestyler watermark, and anything above 1K is paid: a 2K render costs 9 coins, a 4K render 49 coins, bought one at a time. The AI features come with three credits in total, not per month.

The one-star reviews are not about the free plan at all. They are about the paid trial that converts into a charge, and about how hard the cancellation is to find afterwards. Homestyler documents a cancel button in the subscription page, but three separate reviewers say they could not find it and went to their bank instead.
If you only ever use Basic, none of this touches you. It matters the moment you tap a discount to try Pro+.
“if you sign up for the free trail...you are then charged. No invoice is sent and it is IMPOSSIBLE to cancel.”
“There is nowhere on their website to cancel. They make you go through the trouble of calling your bank.”
The company's own FAQ says renewals are cancelled from Workspace → My Subscription → Cancel Auto Renew, and that fees are non-refundable once paid. Read that before taking the first-subscription discount, because the discount is what starts the auto-renewal.
Homestyler shows "from $6.8 a month" next to a "save 15%" badge. That is the auto-renewal price for a first subscription, not a list price with a discount on top — and no annual figure is published at all. What you actually pay depends on the discount you are offered at checkout, so treat $6.8 as the floor, not the number.
On Basic, a 4K render is 49 coins and a 2K render 9 coins. Homestyler hands out coins for daily log-ins and platform tasks, which is enough for a render or two — not for a project. If you need several high-resolution images, Pro+ at 75 renders a month is the cheaper way to buy them.
“super easy to start, but what I love most is how customizable it is.”
“I totally love the PC version of Homestyler! It's made my life as an interior designer so much easier.”
“I can't use all of furniture unless i have membership and sometimes i face problem in interior modeling”
“It's a memory hog... after an hour, your computer would slow down and eventually crash.”
“adds about its pro subscription comming up every second.”
The praise is for the editor and the catalogue; the complaints split into two kinds. People who stayed free complain about nagging and performance. People who paid complain about billing. Almost nobody complains about the free plan being too small.
Free is enough if
You will hit the paywall if
If the watermark is the only thing in your way, Planner 5D is the free plan that does not stamp its name on the picture. Homestyler has the bigger catalogue and the better renderer; the question is whether you need the image to be clean.
For the question on this page — can I design a room for free — Homestyler is a good answer and we are not. Its free plan is one of the most generous in the category.
Decato is for a different moment: when the furniture in the plan has to be real products you can order, with prices attached. You bring a plan you already have, and it matches in-stock pieces to the room, checks each one fits, and returns a priced list.
Yes. Every render on the Basic plan carries a Homestyler watermark; removing it is a Pro+ feature. The design itself, the projects and the catalogue are free (Checked September 2026).
Unlimited at 1K resolution. Anything larger is paid by the coin on Basic — 9 coins for 2K and 49 for 4K — and coins are earned slowly through daily log-ins. Pro+ includes 75 renders a month at both 2K and 4K (Checked September 2026).
Three AI credits in total, not per month. That is enough to see what the AI tools do and not enough to use them. Pro+ gives 180 credits a month and Master+ 380.
Not on the pricing page. Homestyler shows "from $6.8 a month" with a "save 15%" auto-renewal discount and publishes no annual figure (Checked September 2026). The price you pay is set at checkout.
The five-star reviews are about the editor and the catalogue. The one-star reviews are almost all about billing: a trial that converted to a charge and a cancel button people could not find. If you stay on Basic none of that applies; if you try a paid plan, read the subscription FAQ first.
