I am still learning the program and am surprised how AI can answer most of my questions. > > **Cons**: Since I am mainly interested in floor plans and furniture arranging, and exterior home drawings and landscapting I wish there were more choices in your catalogue. Exterior siding would be very helpful. I also found navigating between the lbrary and selections a bit of a pain, wish what I use the most would stay in my selections. > > Overall I am very, very happy with the program. My family are thrilled I can produce drawings for new floor plans and addtions to their homes. ----- ### "Try it and love it\!" — 5.0/5 > **Nicole** | *April 13, 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: After trying out several types of programs to create a basic floor plan for my storefront I discovered SmartDraw and fell in love with how easy it is to use\! > > **Cons**: I think the only thing I don't like about SmartDraw is I don't actually require it for a year and would've preferred a month to month subscription > > I love using SmartDraw and will recommend to anyone who needs to generate charts, workflows, floor plans, etc. ----- ### "Useful Program with Fantastic Support Team\!" — 5.0/5 > **Michael** | *February 27, 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** | *September 9, 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** | *March 15, 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. ----- Page: 1 / 7\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/78945/smartdraw?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/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
