DIY preview vs build package

What each is for

Decision rule

Arden

Photo-to-design garden previews with climate-matched plant direction, free to try on iOS and Android. Arden is a visual starting point — not a measured landscape plan, drainage study, or contractor bid package.

Hadaa

Hadaa (Garden Autopilot) is an AI landscape design product that redesigns a yard from a photo or sketch and returns photorealistic renders plus a planting guide, contractor-ready blueprint, and bill of quantities. Pricing is per-project / per-render rather than a free consumer credit model.

Pick Hadaa when you need a contractor-ready blueprint and bill of quantities from one paid project. Pick Arden when you want a free DIY photo preview first — Arden does not claim measured plans, utilities, grades, or a bill of quantities.

Verdict

8/8

Arden score

Hadaa is genuinely strong at contractor-ready blueprint and bill of quantities. Arden's honest edge on this page is speed-to-preview and free mobile access — not a claim that every Hadaa deliverable is weaker. Feature checkmarks below are a shorthand, not the whole product.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Which one should I pick?

02 Is Hadaa free?

Hadaa is paid (no free consumer tier called out on this comparison). Arden is free to download — no credit card needed, free design credits included.

03 Can I use a photo of my own yard?

Hadaa supports photo-based design. With Arden, you take a photo, pick a style, and see your yard with the new design on it.

04 Does either replace a landscape architect?

No. Arden is an AI visual starting point, not a measured plan that locates boundaries, utilities, drainage, or grades. Hadaa goes further toward contractor-ready blueprints and quantities, but site-specific construction still needs local professional judgment.
