Casa vs. Studio Designer
Studio Designer alternatives for FF&E teams
Choose Casa when your team needs sourcing, schedules and client deliverables—and your accounting is already handled. Put the budget toward the design workflow you need, with plans from $29 per user per month.
Three reasons to choose Casa.
| What matters | Casa | Studio Designer |
|---|---|---|
| Spend less per design seat. | Casa Pro is $29 per user per month with a 30-day free trial. A smaller subscription for teams focused on FF&E preparation. | Studio Designer Essentials lists $69 per user per month when billed annually and includes general-ledger accounting. |
| Build the design package from your source files. | Import supplier PDFs, spreadsheets and batches of links. Review the extracted product details, then create schedules and handoff files. | Studio Designer also supports Studio Capture and AI item creation from a product URL. Both products automate web sourcing. |
| Take the layout into InDesign. | Export editable InDesign files, Excel schedules and organized product images. Keep the final presentation in your design team’s hands. | Studio Designer offers standard reports and documents; its Custom Document Editor is listed on Professional and Premier. |
Studio Designer is worth considering if you need integrated general-ledger accounting and financial reporting. Casa is an alternative for the FF&E workflow, not a replacement for that accounting system.
Before you switch.
Is Casa a full Studio Designer replacement?
For sourcing, schedules and FF&E deliverables, it is worth evaluating. For general-ledger accounting, retain or choose a dedicated accounting system. Match the switch to the parts of Studio Designer you actually use.
How do I test Casa before moving a project?
Use the 30-day trial to import a supplier PDF or spreadsheet, add product links and export a sample schedule. Review the data and presentation before moving more work.
Try it with your own project.
Import a few products. Review the details. Export a schedule.
