The best landscape design apps that are complete on Android

Complete means the Android app does the job the tool is sold on, with nothing held back for iPhone. We checked each tool's official platform list and feature notes in October 2026. Here is the split, tool by tool.

Prices on this page were checked October 2026. iScape, DreamzAR, Hadaa, Planner 5D and Gardenly are described from their official pages; anything they do not state is marked unverified in the table rather than guessed.

Two of the Android-complete tools, Neighborbrite and Sow, got our real test yard: a brick ranch front walkway in Raleigh, NC, zone 8a, part sun, under pines, with a cottage brief. We ran both on the web, and we ran Sow on an iPhone development build as well.

Neither capture here is from an Android phone, and we say so because a platform roundup that hides where its screenshots came from is not much use.

Neighborbrite inferred Raleigh and zone 8a, guessed full sun (we corrected it to partial sun on the confirm step), wrote a plan in about 60 seconds with five named cultivars, and drew the image in about 33 seconds. House, walkway and bird feeder were kept; the watermark sits bottom right.

The list that came with this first design had 41 plants across 5 varieties with botanical names and nursery prices adding up to about $1,049. Free is 4 designs a day.

Sow, on a fresh free web account, returned Romantic Cottage Walkway with five named plants linked to catalog pages: Buff Beauty rose, Duchesse de Nemours peony, Camelot Lavender foxglove, Baltic parsley and Snowflake catmint. The render itself took under a minute; the gallery showed it 90 to 150 seconds after we submitted.

On the phone app, where each space carries its sun and zone, the same yard came back with part-sun picks and a count per species: The Fairy Rose x8, Foxglove Sugar Plum x28, Hawera Daffodil x66, Anemone x14 and one more.

Both tools kept the house and hardscape, both named real plants, and both watermark free output. The difference on Android, as on any platform, is what happens after the picture. Neighborbrite gives you an image and a list.

Sow gives you a list of species, and on mobile every generated species can be removed, counted up or down, or swapped, and the Plant Editor lets you drag in plants, furniture, lighting and paving by hand, on a generated design or a plain photo; on the web, Design Studio places plants and objects over the render.

iScape's store listings sit near the top of Google for most landscape app searches, so it is usually the first app an Android owner installs. The app is on Android.

The design features it is known for are not all there. iScape's own pricing page, captured October 13, 2026, lists "2D & 3D design (iOS only)" on the Free, Pro and Enterprise tiers, and its AR mode is iOS. What the Android app can do without 2D and 3D design is not spelled out on that page.

The price is the same on both platforms: Pro is $29.99 a month or $299.99 a year, which is $359.88 a year if you pay monthly.

What you would be buying on Android, by iScape's own account, is the established object and hardscape library, manual placement over a photo and the proposal tool for pros, without the 3D and AR that make the iPhone version worth that money. We could not confirm iScape's free-tier limits or whether free output is watermarked.

If you own an iPhone, iScape's AR and 3D are a real advantage. On Android they are not on offer.

Here is what we can and cannot say. Sow is on Google Play and the App Store, and the same project opens on iPhone, Android and the web. Those are the live figures and we are printing both rather than the better one.

We captured Sow on an iPhone and on the web for this page, so every Sow screenshot here is an iPhone or web screen. Sow's place at the top of the ranking is earned by what the product does, shown on iPhone and the web, and the same project runs on Android.

What the product does, from our test. A Create tab where each space carries its sun and zone; Auto Design with style, sunlight and must-have chips; a front-yard result with five species, botanical names and quantities in under three and a half minutes; per-species Remove, Fewer, More and Swap; a Plant Editor for dragging plants, furniture and paving by hand; and Planting Plans that find beds on the satellite view, with a per-bed editor and a Review Costs step that priced 602 plants at $8,919.70 in our test plan. Zone matching covers the US, Canada, the UK and Australia. Weather-aware care uses US forecasts. Outdoor plants only.

Three of the tools on this page do not have a Play app and do not need one. Klora, Hadaa and Gardenly are websites, and Neighborbrite and Sow run in a browser too, so an Android phone with Chrome can reach every tool here except iScape's and DreamzAR's native features.

Klora is the one we tested. With no account, it took our Raleigh address and pulled aerial imagery at 5.5 inches per pixel with parcel lines and 5-foot contours in about 30 seconds, then opened a scaled drawing editor with bed, path, structure and measure tools, season views from spring to winter, growth stages from Year 1 to Mature, and a library of 1,422 species with sun, deer and pollinator icons.

One design is free; PDF export and more designs need the $24 pass or $69 a year. Nothing is generated for you. We ran it in a desktop browser, and because it is a drawing tool you will want a bigger screen than a phone.

Hadaa is pay per render, $12 or $9 each for three or more, and each render comes with a zone-verified planting guide with quantities, a contractor blueprint and a bill of quantities. Browser only, one-shot renders. Gardenly is $54 or $84 a year for photo redesign with a climate-zone plant list and a shopping list; web and iPhone only, no free tier.

Vendor prices as published in October 2026. Sow's row shows web prices; the App Store annual price is $59.99, and we did not separately verify the in-app price on Google Play for this page.

The cheapest routes to a photo redesign with named plants on Android are the two free tiers, Sow (10 designs to start and more for taking part) and Neighborbrite (4 a day); the cheapest paid plan is Sow Pro from $39.99 a year on the web.

DreamzAR is $199 a year with no free tier. iScape is $299.99 a year without the 2D and 3D design an iPhone owner gets for the same money. Planner 5D has a free tier with unlimited projects and half its catalog, and Premium at $59.99 a year, but it has no plant data.

Yes. This comes up as a People Also Ask entry on the Android search, and the answer is that the photo redesign tools on Google Play are Neighborbrite, Sow and DreamzAR. The keyword-named generators that rank as App Store listings (Yard AI, AI Garden Design, Garden AI) are listed on the App Store, and we found no Android versions of them.

What the generator buys you differs by tool. Neighborbrite writes a plan and picks a palette, then draws it. Sow reads your photo and places real catalog plants, then keeps them as editable species. DreamzAR adds chat-based refinement and an AR walkthrough, by its own description. Planner 5D has a generator, but it is built for interiors and we could not confirm what it does with a yard photo.

Sow, if you want free designs made of real plants that you can edit afterwards: 10 free designs to start and more for taking part (posting a design earns 25 credits, a referral 100). Pro is from $39.99 a year on the web ($59.99 a year through the App Store); Pro+ is $99.99 a year.

Neighborbrite, if you want a fresh allowance every day: four designs a day, a watermark on every image, downloads allowed, and the first design came with a plant list and prices in our test. Its Pro tier at $24.99 a month keeps the watermark; only Business at $49.99 a month removes it.

Planner 5D, if you want a free 3D layout of a patio and do not need plant data: unlimited projects and half the catalog free. Klora, if you want a free scaled plan and a browser is fine.
