ArchiBoard vs Houzz Pro for interior designers
Houzz Pro is business software from Houzz for contractors, remodelers and design professionals: 3D floor plans, selections, estimates, takeoffs, scheduling, a client dashboard and a mobile app, connected to the Houzz marketplace. ArchiBoard is built for interior designers and procurement teams: room-by-room estimates with supplier discounts and markup, order deadlines from the installation schedule, deliveries and supplier payments.
Houzz Pro fits firms that also do construction or remodeling and want leads from the Houzz marketplace. ArchiBoard fits interior design studios whose main work is specifying and buying furniture, lighting and finishes. ArchiBoard publishes its prices, has a free plan and works in 9 languages.
