iGUIDE: cost, fit and limits

Instant Sketch is described as an AI-generated Xactimate sketch, and an advanced drawing package reaches CAD and point cloud data.

Who iGUIDE is best for
Insurance adjusters
Instant Sketch delivers an Xactimate ESX file in minutes, which feeds claims software directly without anyone redrawing a floor plan from photos or measurements.
Architects and surveyors
The Advanced Drawing Package returns a plotted PDF set, a CAD floor plan in DWG and LiDAR point cloud data in DXF.
Agents who need measured square footage
Square footage calculations are described as meeting ANSI Z765-2021 and RECA RMS 2017, which matters when a listing or valuation is disputed over measured area.

What iGUIDE does
- Color-coded floor plans
- Floor plans come color coded, with furnished and fixture-rich versions in the higher tiers, so a buyer sees room use rather than bare outlines. Standard adds measurement tools.
- CAD and BIM outputs
- Deliverables include DWG, DXF and PDF files plus RVT files, which fit the CAD and BIM workflows of architects, surveyors and facilities teams who need editable drawings.
- Xactimate sketches
- Instant Sketch produces an ESX file for insurance estimating and is described as AI generated, delivered in minutes alongside a 3D tour and site documentation for the claim.
- Measurement standards
- Area calculations are described as meeting ANSI Z765-2021 and RECA RMS 2017, so measured areas can be cited in appraisals, listings and disputes without separate verification.
- Hosting and offline export
- Tours are hosted, can be downloaded and exported offline, and the Standard package includes a Floorplanner export, so the data is not locked into the hosted viewer.
How iGUIDE handles your data
The privacy policy of Planitar Inc. says personal information is kept only as long as needed and usage data for a shorter period, with data held in WordPress de-identified after 365 days. Primary AWS servers sit in Australia for Australian and New Zealand users, and data may also be stored in Singapore, Japan, Canada or the United States. SSL/TLS encryption is stated, no certifications are listed and training on customer data is not addressed.
Where iGUIDE falls short in practice
- RADIX has no floor plan. The $6.99 CAD RADIX package returns a tour and point cloud only, with no floor plan, so buyers who expected the usual deliverable must move up to Standard.
- Higher drawings need higher tiers. Roof plans, exterior elevations and reflected ceiling plans require Premium or the Advanced Drawing Package, so a full drawing set costs well above the entry price.
- Unclear unit prices. Per-unit add-on prices such as plus $0.110 CAD for a 3D model are listed without a billing unit, and the page shows two different camera prices, which makes budgeting unclear.

iGUIDE: common questions
How much does an iGUIDE cost?
Packages are per project in Canadian dollars: RADIX $6.99, Instant Sketch $34.99, Standard from $48 and Premium from $66 based on square footage, and the Advanced Drawing Package from $210. The page also shows a From $34.50 hero line without a currency.
Does iGUIDE use AI?
The Instant Sketch package is described as an AI-generated Xactimate sketch delivered in minutes. The pages we opened name no other AI features, and floor plans in other packages are not described as AI made. Check whether the sketch matches your claim software.
What does the iGUIDE camera cost?
The page conflicts with itself. The hero shows $2,599 USD while step 1 shows $3,499 CAD. Ask the vendor which figure applies to your region and currency before you budget for a camera purchase. Currency and region may change what you pay.
Is iGUIDE hosting free after the first year?
The FAQ says a hosting fee is not charged after the first year, and Standard lists one year of hosting. RADIX includes a downloadable file for self-hosting, so a tour can live on your own server instead. The first year is the hosted period stated on the page.
Which CAD formats does iGUIDE deliver?
Deliverables include DWG for CAD floor plans, DXF for LiDAR point cloud data and RVT files, plus PDF drawing sets. RADIX also offers a downloadable DXF file. The higher packages add the plotted drawing set and CAD floor plan. Prices rise with each package.
