Houzz Pro and Vade: business tools and design memory.

A tool for running a design business and a place for developing references can serve different moments in the same project.

What you are choosing.

Houzz Pro

Houzz Pro offers business software for contractors and designers. Its current overview lists 3D floor plans, selections, estimates, takeoffs and schedules among its tools. Official product overview.

Product descriptions checked against the linked sources on 21 September 2026. Check each provider for current plans and availability.

Vade starts with what you keep.

A poster, a room, a product or an interface can enter the same library. Keep the original source and add the context that makes a reference useful to you.

Use a save in several boards, with different notes, sections and crops. Present those boards as Gallery, Editorial, Collage or Schedule. Full images remain whole until you choose otherwise.

Supplier details and available prices support sourcing work. They are optional facts, not a requirement for every reference. See how Vade works.

Choose around the work.

Consider Houzz Pro when estimating, planning and project delivery drive your choice. Consider Vade when the immediate work is remembering a reference, connecting it to another idea and presenting that direction. Compare the tasks you actually perform before choosing one system or using complementary tools.

Try one real project: save a reference, find it after a few days, give it context in two boards and share a presentation. Those tasks make the fit easier to judge than a feature count.

Questions, answered.

Does every reference need to be a product?
No. Pages, images, typography, interfaces, materials and products share one library. Supplier and product facts appear where supported by the source.
What is included on Free?
Unlimited saves and ordinary boards, all four presentation layouts and standard Vade-branded sharing. Optional AI compositions have a separate monthly allowance.
What requires a paid plan?
PDF export and custom studio branding require Solo or Studio. Solo is £12/month or £120/year; Studio is £29/month or £290/year for up to five seats. See Pricing for details.
