Make Plan scans and stages.
Alcovia designs and closes.
Make Plan is a LiDAR scan-to-floor-plan app spanning many trades, with an AI 'Relook' that stages rooms from preset moodboards and a furniture catalog. Alcovia is built specifically for remodeling contractors: a generative photorealistic remodel driven by your client's inspiration, plus takeoffs, estimates, and a client-ready presentation.
Broad multi-trade scanner vs focused remodel sales tool
Make Plan does LiDAR scanning, 2D/3D floor plans, and quick localized cost estimates across many verticals (real estate, design, renovation, property management), with an AI staging feature that produces photorealistic visuals from preset moodboards and a real-furniture catalog. It's a capable, broad tool — but its AI is preset/catalog-based rather than a free-prompt generative remodel, it doesn't take a client's inspiration photo, and it lacks contractor CRM, scheduling, invoicing, and payments. Alcovia is narrower and deeper for remodeling: generative photorealistic renders from your prompt or a client's inspiration, material takeoffs, instant estimates, and a client-ready presentation — sold per project.
Why contractors switch
- Generative photorealistic remodel from a prompt — not just preset moodboards
- Drive the design from your client's own inspiration photo
- Client-ready PDF presentation built to win the job
- Material takeoff and instant estimate from the same scan (Growth)
- Purpose-built for remodeling contractors, not many verticals at once
- Per-project pricing with your first project free

Key advantages
What Alcovia does that Make Plan doesn't
Generative, not preset
Make Plan's AI 'Relook' stages rooms from a handful of preset moodboards and a furniture catalog. Alcovia generates a photorealistic remodel from a free-text prompt — any surface, any style.
Client inspiration in, render out
Upload a client's inspiration photo and Alcovia reskins the scanned room to match. Make Plan has no inspiration-photo input.
Contractor-grade takeoffs
Alcovia produces material takeoffs and instant estimates with your price list. Make Plan offers quick localized estimates but is not a contractor takeoff engine.
Design presentations that close
Export a polished client presentation. Make Plan exports a structured before/after report.
Focused on remodeling
Make Plan spreads across real estate, staging, and property management. Alcovia is built end-to-end for the remodeling sale.
Per-project pricing
Pay per project (first one free) instead of a monthly subscription with metered AI credits.
The bottom line
Make Plan scans, plans, and stages across many trades. Alcovia is the focused remodeling sales tool — generative design, takeoff, and a client-ready close.
Scan any room with your phone, redesign it with AI, generate photorealistic renders, and present to your client — all in one app. Try your first project free.
