Comparison
Looking for a Planpoint alternative you host yourself?
Rented software versus software you own. Planpoint is a polished hosted platform for interactive floor plans, stacking plans and site maps, billed per project every month. Interactive Real Estate is a WordPress plugin: you install it on the site you already run, your data lives in your own database, and the licence does not expire the moment you stop paying. Both put a clickable building on a page — the difference is where it runs, who holds the data, and what it costs over the life of a development.

Where IRE wins
Interactive Real Estate vs Planpoint
You buy it once instead of renting it monthly
Planpoint bills per project, per month — $69 for up to 30 units, $99 up to 120, $159 for unlimited. A development that takes three years to sell out costs roughly $3,560 on the $99 tier. Interactive Real Estate's lifetime licence is $399 once, for unlimited projects, and the plugin keeps working after that.
The data sits in your own database
Every flat, price and status lives in tables inside your WordPress install. You can back it up, query it, export it or move hosts without asking anyone. On a hosted platform your project lives on the vendor's infrastructure for as long as the subscription runs.
One licence covers every project you ever launch
Planpoint's pricing is per project, so a second development means a second subscription. Interactive Real Estate's premium plans allow unlimited projects, blocks, floors and flats on the licensed site — the tenth building costs the same as the first.
It is part of your site, not an embed
The shortcode renders inside your own theme, on your own URL, indexed as part of your domain. There is no external script deciding how your building looks or how quickly it loads.
Price history and EU compliance built for the regulation
The Price History add-on logs every price change and exports the XML feed EU compliance portals expect. This is a specific legal requirement in several European markets, and it is not something a general international platform tends to cover.
You can try the real thing for nothing
The free plan on WordPress.org is the working plugin — one project, up to 25 flats, no time limit and no card. You can map a real building and put it live before spending anything.
Honest take
When Planpoint is the better choice
Planpoint is the better buy in several situations, and they are not close calls. If you do not run WordPress, Interactive Real Estate is simply not an option. If you manage a portfolio of developments with teams who need role-based permissions and built-in analytics, Planpoint is built for that and we are not. Their rental-side pricing by vacant unit fits letting agencies far better than a plugin designed around sales, and their Superframe touchscreen app for kiosks and TVs in a sales office has no equivalent here. Stacking plans and their shopping-centre CX tool are theirs alone. Interactive Real Estate wins when you already have a WordPress site, want to pay once rather than monthly, and want the unit data to stay in your own database.
