Plan7Architect tops 90,000 license sales as it doubles down on one-time purchase software

Plan7Architect says it has surpassed 90,000 software license sales after expanding internationally, adding support and training resources, and investing in new product development. The Germany-based home design software maker is also reaffirming its permanent-license model at a time when subscriptions dominate the market.

Why it matters: - Plan7Architect’s growth shows there is still demand for professional design software sold as a one-time purchase, not only through recurring subscriptions. - The milestone gives Immocado UG more resources to expand support, training and product development for both private homeowners and professional users. - The company’s international reach now spans North America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Oceania, with the U.S. as its largest market.

What happened: - Plan7Architect surpassed 90,000 software license sales across its German-language and international sales channels. - The English-language version and international online store launched in March 2025. - The German-language version has been available since December 2018. - Immocado UG markets and distributes Plan7Architect exclusively. - The company said the milestone follows rapid international expansion, product improvements and investment in customer support and educational resources.

The details: - Plan7Architect is 2D and 3D home design and architectural planning software for private builders, homeowners, renovators, residential contractors, draftsmen, designers and architects. - The software supports floor plans, walls, doors, windows, roofs, foundations, terrain, multiple floors, 2D and 3D views, sections, elevations, dimensions and professional plan sheets. - The product supports both metric and imperial workflows. - The U.S. is the largest market, followed by Germany. - Other important markets include Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, Austria, South Africa, the Philippines, New Zealand, Switzerland, Norway, Sweden and the Netherlands. - Private customers often use the software for one major project, such as a new home, extension, renovation or remodeling project. - Professional users include architects, planning offices, residential designers, independent drafting professionals, small construction companies, residential contractors and remodelers. - A purchased license remains usable permanently. - Customers receive updates and support for the included service period. - Users can renew update, download and support access later if needed. - The software includes a 14-day money-back guarantee. - Immocado UG says it updated the software generation in 2022 to create a more modern foundation and improve the user experience and professional scope. - The company said a major 2026 update added numerous improvements based on customer feedback and that it also expanded its manual and onboarding resources. - Since December 2025, the company has published more than 200 new or revised tutorial videos on the Plan7Architect YouTube channel. - The tutorial library includes a structured First Steps guide and public pre-purchase videos showing the software interface and workflow. - Immocado UG relocated from Berlin to larger offices in Bochum to support team growth, customer service, tutorial production, product development and international operations.

Between the lines: - Plan7Architect is positioning permanent ownership as a selling point for customers who work on a single major project and do not want to pay monthly fees after the project ends. - The company is also using education and support as a growth lever, reducing friction for new users who need time to learn a full planning workflow. - The product’s broader feature set puts it closer to professional planning software than simplified room-design apps, which may explain why tutorials and onboarding have become a priority. - Immocado UG appears to be building for a mixed audience: private owners who want affordability and professionals who need deeper planning tools.

What's next: - The development team is working on estimating tools that could help users calculate material requirements and project costs from planning data. - The company is also pursuing expanded IFC compatibility to improve interoperability with BIM and architectural workflows. - Immocado UG has not announced release dates for those capabilities, saying timing will depend on development, testing and customer needs. - Additional improvements and modules are still being evaluated based on feedback from architects, construction professionals, private builders and long-term users. - The company says it will keep developing both private-user and professional workflows without abandoning the permanent-license model.

The bottom line: - Plan7Architect is betting that long-term growth can come from a growing global user base, stronger support and training, and software ownership instead of subscriptions.
