How OpenKitchen3D differs
- ●MIT-licensed and free — no seat licence or subscription
- ●An open, documented project file and catalog format anyone can read or author
- ●Browser-native planner plus a native iPhone/iPad RoomPlan scanning companion
- ●Built on the open OpenPlan3D engine, so kitchens live inside the full floor plan
