SmartDrawReviews of smartdraw.com

I Used this in 2021 to design a deck area (one off project). The functonality was actually good and I got dagrams done well, but beware of the PRICING practices... Just tried to reactivate my licence in 2025 to sketch a cabinet project and it is asking me to pay over $100 to renew a licence that will expire in 2022 ?? 12 months after last time i used it... NO other options.. what a Joke.. smartdraw has just perminantly lost a good customer.. I'm happy to pay reasonable money for good product, but not this crazy extortion subscription pricing.. bye bye Smartdraw.

simple app and great price,

smartdraw are one up from scammers you can spend hours on a plan on the so called trial try and save it print it or even copy and it says trial expired they only offer an annual option but promote it as monthly log out try and change your email to get a trial that you never got first time and you find your plan has been deleted they really are scum I will never advise anyone to use Smartdraw even AI says its shady

A completely terrible application. It’s performance is woeful, absolutely no consistency, changes lost left right and centre, customer service none existent. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Greedy company

Upon first use it seems great, that is until you try to download your work. Only then does it explain that you MUST pay in order to download. This is sneaky and not upfront at all. It forces you to either pay or redo all of the work you spent a long time on elsewhere. DO NOT USE, IF ONLY FOR THEIR OBFUSCATION AND MISREPRESNTATION.

Fewer features and more bugs than draw.io, and no mention of "purchase to export" until AFTER you've drawn. Toxic version of 'foot-in-the-door' sales tactics. Be upfront, greedy scum.

The fact that you need to pay to export or even print is absolutely ridiculous. The UI is also not really keyboard friendly and selecting multiple things with your mouse is inconsistent.
