Fabrik vs Evacuation-Planner.com
Evacuation-Planner.com is a free, browser-based diagramming tool sold with a one-time $19 upgrade. How does it compare to Fabrik, a professional SaaS built for ISO 7010 / ISO 23601 / NF X08-070 compliance?
Evacuation-Planner.com targets a different audience: individuals and very small businesses who need a printable floor plan with safety icons, fast, for a few dollars. The tool offers a free tier (1 plan, 2 symbols, PNG export) and a one-time Pro license at $19 (regularly listed at $115). Fabrik targets a different market entirely — French and European fire-safety professionals who must produce plans that pass commission inspections, comply with the French Code du travail (Article R4227-39), ISO 23601, NF X08-070, and APSAD R4. The two tools solve different problems. This comparison helps you pick the right one for your actual obligation.

Which Should You Choose?
Choose Fabrik if…
You operate in France, Belgium, Switzerland or Luxembourg and must produce evacuation plans that comply with NF X08-070, ISO 23601 and the Code du travail. You manage an ERP, ICPE, healthcare facility, school or any establishment subject to fire-safety regulation. You need audit-grade revision history and a tool maintained by people who understand French fire-safety law.
Choose Evacuation-Planner.com if…
You need a quick, cheap floor plan with safety icons for a one-off purpose — a personal short-term rental, a small private space, an internal training document — where there is no regulatory obligation and no audit will ever review the plan. You value a single $19 payment over a subscription and accept the trade-off of no compliance guarantees.
