Arcadium 3D is a browser-based tool for planning landscapes and creating house designs, floor plans, and interiors. It suits homeowners and design professionals who want to shape and share a property in 3D. Its strongest appeal is an end-to-end landscape workflow; the free plan’s tight project and object caps limit how far users can take it.

Overview

Arcadium brings property boundaries, terrain, patios, paths, retaining walls, fencing, planting, and outdoor features into a single design workflow. That makes it useful for considering a property as a whole, rather than just arranging plants. The library includes hundreds of trees, shrubs, flowers, furniture, pergolas, fencing, and outdoor structures, giving users a broad set of elements for visualizing a proposed space.

Projects can be shared by URL, and viewers can open a shared design in a browser without an account. Arcadium runs in a browser without installation, a practical advantage for people moving between supported devices. It says it uses industry-standard security practices and must comply with EU and UK GDPR. Service data may also be used for marketing, analytics, and machine-learning training, among other purposes, so organizations should weigh those uses when deciding whether to store sensitive project material in the service.

Key features

Plan, visualize, and present

Terrain modeling supports layouts that depend on changes in ground level. Users can generate photorealistic landscape renders from 3D designs with AI, then explore a project through first-person walkthroughs. Printable 2D plan exports as PDFs provide a more practical reference alongside the visual presentation. Together, these tools suit people who need to communicate both the look of a design and its layout, though the free plan allows only one floor plan generation.

Imports and sharing

Arcadium supports PDF, JPG, and PNG imports. URL sharing lets clients or collaborators view a design in a browser without creating an account, reducing friction for review. Questions about service use can be directed to [email protected].

Pricing

Arcadium is freemium. Free costs nothing and includes two projects, a maximum of 30 objects per project, and one floor plan generation. Those caps are adequate for a couple of small concepts, but they can constrain detailed property work or multiple active designs.

Pro costs $18 a month, billed yearly at $216/yr. It removes project and object limits, adds custom model imports, 150 AI images per month, a 1GB storage limit, and 10 floor plan generations. This is the more sensible tier for regular individual use, especially if the free caps are already restrictive; its yearly billing means the monthly figure is not a month-to-month commitment.

Power costs $60 a month, billed yearly at $720/yr. It includes everything in Pro, raises the AI image allowance to 400 per month, increases storage to 10GB, and provides 50 floor plan generations. The higher limits are aimed at heavier production needs; occasional users are unlikely to need this tier’s expanded quotas. The pricing note also gives a starting price of €16/mo (annual), while plan prices are shown in USD.

Platforms

Arcadium supports web, iOS, and Android. It lists Mac, PC, iPad, and mobile among supported device categories, and the browser-based service requires no installation. That flexibility is useful for reviewing or presenting a project across devices, though the core design environment remains browser-based.

Who it's for

Arcadium identifies homeowners, landscape designers and architects, garden centers and nurseries, and real estate professionals as intended users. Homeowners can develop a property concept, while professionals can use renders, walkthroughs, and shareable browser projects to present options. Nurseries and garden centers may find the plant-rich library relevant to customer planning. The free plan is best for limited exploration; users with ongoing or detailed projects should expect to pay for higher limits.

Pros and cons
