I like the ability to show or hide measurements. > > **Cons**: Very clunky drawing and measurement tools; completely ridiculous pricing for light users now they have switched from product licences to online subscriptions > > Extremely frustrating: it has the feel of a very old software system that has been inadequately updated. ----- ### "Useful Program with Fantastic Support Team\!" — 5.0/5 > **Michael** | *27 February 2026* | Public Safety | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I really enjoy the interface, and having the program browser-based instead of application only. The ability to utilize layers and various templates has been helpful with the extra benefit of existing icon libraries for various project types. > > **Cons**: The main issue our department members had with the functionality was overwriting existing projects due to comfortability with "Save As" procedures and unfamiliarity with auto-save. This was mostly resolved with awareness/education training. > > I had a great experience with implementation while playing a lead role in the program adoption within my department. The SmartDraw team was always very thorough, open to questions and meetings, and provided real-time training for our members. There is also continuing potential to utilize this software for unintended purposes, such as post-incident review and emergency response analysis for presentation. ----- ### "Nice to Try Horrible to Own" — 3.0/5 > **Wiiliam** | *9 September 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use, templates, learning was a breeze, simple program with basic features. I recommend this if you are a beginner and want to do a free 7 day trial or are looking for a basic program with basic features to get to your desired design. I would not buy this as it's a annual trap. > > **Cons**: The plans offered are horrible. No monthly plans for those of us who want to periodically want to create personal designs. It's either all or nothing with them. Even with the $10.99 monthly subscription, this has to billed annually which is a headache. They have lost so many customers over not offering a month to month subscription with a $15 subscription fee. > > Overall I like smartdraw as a program but the customer service, lack of customer retention and acting like they are robots, not actually helping or answering you, just like they are reading from a scripted book. Have over 500+ customers ready to sign up at $15 a month, and they still refuse to budge. ----- ### "10/10 restaurant operations" — 5.0/5 > **Joe** | *15 March 2026* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use. Pricing is extremely fair. We use it for multiple kitchen and dining room layouts. It has basically everything we need. > > **Cons**: Sometimes some of the functions dont work like I anticipate them too. Things like dragging walls and moving whole rooms. > > Weve been using it for years for restaurant design. Weve adopted it across multiple operators. App works great. ----- ### "HomeServ Of Louisville Contractor" — 5.0/5 > **Christopher** | *20 April 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very user friendly, great price point, you can create so many different things. It works great for a contractor like me. From designing blueprints to outdoor landscapes > > **Cons**: So far it is great. I wish I would’ve known about it sooner. I would like to see more options for templates on blank estimate pages. > > It is a game changer for all of us here at HomeServ of Louisville. I wish that would have learned about it sooner. ----- Page: 1 / 7\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/78945/smartdraw?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/78945/smartdraw) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nb | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
