Pricing & licensing
How much does AI garden design cost?
The short answer
AI Garden Design starts free (3 watermarked designs), then unlimited designs for $4.99 a week or $44.99 a year, cancel anytime. For comparison: Yardzen costs $995–$3,495 per project; a local landscape designer charges $2,000–$10,000 per plan; iScape Pro is roughly $300/year for AR placement.
AI design tools are dramatically cheaper than the alternatives. The cheapest reasonable alternative, a front-yard package from Bower & Branch Design Studio (the service formerly sold as Tilly), starts at $559 for a single project. A week of AI Garden Design Unlimited, with unlimited full-resolution designs, commercial use and no watermark, costs $4.99.
The pricing trade-off is what you get for the money. Yardzen, Design Studio, and a local landscape designer deliver a finished design package, a custom plant list specified to your climate, and (sometimes) a contractor matchmaking service. AI Garden Design delivers a photoreal visualisation of any style you can imagine, on any photo, for $4.99 a week.
Many homeowners use both. AI Garden Design upstream to explore styles cheaply and lock in the direction, then a Yardzen or local designer downstream for the build-ready documentation. The combined cost is still less than commissioning the human designer from scratch and the first draft hits the brief.

Is AI Garden Design free?
You can start free: every free account includes 3 photorealistic designs (watermarked), no credit card. AI Garden Design Unlimited removes the watermark and the limit: $4.99 a week or $44.99 a year, cancel anytime. And the AI design advice tool is free with no signup at all.
What is the cheapest way to design a garden?
The cheapest reasonable path is to use AI Garden Design (3 free designs, then $4.99 for a week of unlimited designs) to lock in the style, then DIY the build with planting from a local nursery and second-hand furniture. Total design cost: $0 to $4.99 for most single-yard projects.
Can AI replace a landscape designer?
For the design exploration phase, yes. For build-ready plans, drainage and grading, climate-tuned plant lists, and project management, no, those still need a human designer. The two are complementary: AI cheaply explores ideas, the designer specifies the build.
Can I use AI Garden Design output commercially?
Yes, on the paid plan. AI Garden Design Unlimited ($4.99 a week or $44.99 a year) includes commercial use, so landscape designers, contractors, and real-estate professionals can use the output with clients. The 3 free designs are watermarked and meant for trying the tool.
