Planify vs Casa: Which FF&E Software Fits Your Studio?

Casa shows up when designers search for FF&E and procurement software, built by an NYC designer and architect around turning messy product links, spec PDFs, and quotes into clean schedules and purchase documents. Here's how it actually compares to Planify, especially for the client-approval side of the workflow that a procurement tool isn't built to cover.

What is Casa built for?

Casa is FF&E software that takes product links, spec PDFs, spreadsheets, and quotes and organizes them into FF&E schedules, furniture slides, budgets, and procurement documents — proposals, purchase orders, and invoices generated from the schedule itself.

It leans heavily into data cleanup: extracting and standardizing names, dimensions, prices, and finishes from whatever format a supplier sends. For studios buried in supplier paperwork, that's a genuinely useful starting point.

How does Casa pricing compare to Planify?

Casa charges $29 per user per month, with a 30-day free trial and no credit card required to start. Planify charges one flat fee — $29/month (€24.99) — per studio, regardless of team size.

The sticker price looks identical at a glance, but the pricing model isn't. A three-person studio on Casa pays per seat; the same studio on Planify pays the same flat $29/month (€24.99) it would pay as a solo designer.

Casa pricing is published on casamakes.com as of October 2026; Casa also offers a separate Enterprise service with embedded engineers for larger practices, priced on request.

Does Casa have a client approval portal like Planify?

Casa's published feature set covers FF&E schedules, budgets, procurement, and a dashboard for furniture details, deliveries, and client communication. It does not describe a dedicated client-facing approval portal that lets a client review and sign off on items without creating an account.

That's a real workflow gap for studios whose biggest friction point isn't organizing the schedule — it's getting the client to actually open something and say yes. Planify's client portal is built specifically around closing that gap: a Magic Link opens straight to the project, no password, no app.

Can Planify clean up FF&E data from PDFs and spreadsheets the way Casa does?

Planify's AI Fetch pulls product data directly from a vendor's product URL — name, image, price, and dimensions — straight into the FF&E schedule. Casa goes further for legacy paperwork specifically, extracting and standardizing data out of PDFs, spreadsheets, and quotes you already have on file.

If your studio's biggest time sink is retyping decade-old supplier PDFs, that's the one area where Casa's tooling is doing more by design. For studios sourcing products live off the web as they spec a project, AI-assisted product sourcing covers the same ground inside Planify without an extra step.

How does FF&E and procurement tracking compare day to day?

Planify's FF&E schedule keeps a running budget and cost sheet per project and routes items straight to client approval. Casa's budgets factor in markup, freight, and tax with live spending tracking, and generate proposals, purchase orders, and invoices directly from the FF&E schedule.

Both tools treat the FF&E schedule as the source of truth. The difference is what happens next: Casa's output is procurement paperwork for your vendors; Planify's output is an approval-ready proposal for your client.

"Planify has completely changed how we manage client approvals — it's simple, fast, and our clients love how easy it is to review and approve items." — Hugo Fleming, Design Director, Cranberryhome (UK)

Which tool is better for a growing studio?

A one-to-ten person studio juggling client sign-off on top of specs usually gets more day-to-day value from flat pricing and a built-in approval portal. A studio whose real bottleneck is multi-vendor procurement paperwork and purchase-order volume is closer to what Casa — and its Enterprise tier — is built around.

Most independent interior design studios spend more hours waiting on a client to say yes than reformatting a purchase order, which is the gap Planify is built to close.
