(*Pricing as of January 2021, not including any discounts or sales.)Ĭhief Architect Premier $2995 or rent for $199 per monthĬhief Architect Interiors $1975 or rent for $199 per month I use a PC, so if you are on a MAC, just make note of the keyboard shortcuts using Control vs Command. It does not matter if you’re using a PC or a MAC, the programs will work the same on either.

There are workarounds for the limitations, but you have to consider your time and workflow. I will link to the product software comparison PDFs below.

All of these factors will play into your decision, so take a look at what each one can and cannot do, and see what fits best for you. Do you take on a lot of projects, and need to have a very efficient workflow? Or are you just taking on 1 project, and you can afford to work more slowly. What do you need to provide to your clients? Are you providing full sets of construction documents, or 3d modeling only? You’ll also need to assess your work load and work flow. One will be your budget, how much can you spend on the software. Which one you choose to work with will depend on several factors that you’ll need to asses and decide on. This is meant to be a general overview, to show the major differences, and help you decide which version will work for your needs. My intent here is not to show every single difference, because there are a lot of subtle small differences. If you are learning on 1, you will be able to use either of the others. The interface in each looks the same, and the tools function the same.

I’m using Premier and Interiors X12 and Home Designer Pro 2021in this example.Įssentially, all 3 are the same software, with Premier being the full version, and Interiors and HDP having various limitations.

IN THIS SOFTWARE COMPARISON, I Will SHOW YOU THE MAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CHIEF ARCHITECT PREMIER, INTERIORS AND HOME DESIGNER PRO.
