What Is ProKitchen Software?
ProKitchen is a cloud-based kitchen and bath design software developed by Mozaik Software. It is used by kitchen dealers, designers, and remodelers to create floor plans, elevation drawings, 3D renderings, and ordering documents — all from a web browser with no local installation required.
The software is available in two tiers: ProKitchen Lite for smaller operations and ProKitchen Pro for dealers who need advanced rendering and a broader manufacturer catalog library. Both versions run entirely in the cloud, which means automatic updates and access from any device with an internet connection.
For dealers evaluating their software options, ProKitchen sits between free general-purpose tools like SketchUp and the industry-standard 2020 Design. It offers kitchen-specific features at a lower price point than 2020 Design, but with trade-offs in catalog coverage and rendering capability that are worth understanding before committing.
Photo-realistic kitchen render — the quality of output FKD delivers for $100/room, no software required.
ProKitchen Pricing in 2026
ProKitchen software cost varies depending on the tier you choose and whether you pay monthly or annually. Here is what dealers can expect to pay in 2026:
- ProKitchen Lite: approximately $99 to $199 per month, designed for dealers who need basic layout and ordering tools without advanced 3D rendering
- ProKitchen Pro: approximately $200 to $400 per month, which includes higher-quality renderings, more manufacturer catalogs, and additional design features
- Annual cost: $2,500 to $5,000 per year depending on the tier and payment schedule
- Additional costs: setup fees, onboarding training, and certain manufacturer catalog updates may carry extra charges depending on your agreement
Note: ProKitchen pricing is approximate and subject to change. Contact Mozaik Software directly for current rates and any promotional offers. Pricing may also vary based on the number of user seats and any bundled services.
Compared to 2020 Design, which typically runs $5,000 to $15,000 per year, ProKitchen pricing is significantly more accessible. However, the lower cost comes with differences in catalog depth and rendering quality that matter for production work.
ProKitchen vs 2020 Design — Feature Comparison
Kitchen dealers frequently compare ProKitchen vs 2020 Design when deciding which software to invest in. Here is a side-by-side comparison that also includes the outsourcing alternative:
| Feature | ProKitchen | 2020 Design | FKD Outsourcing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Annual cost | $2,500 – $5,000 | $5,000 – $15,000 | $100/room |
| Manufacturer catalogs | Growing library | 55+ pre-loaded | All catalogs |
| 3D rendering quality | Good | Professional | Photo-realistic |
| Cloud-based | Yes | Desktop + cloud | N/A |
| Items list / ordering | Yes | Yes | Included |
| Learning curve | Moderate | Steep | None |
| Elevation drawings | Yes | Yes | Included |
| Floor plans | Yes | Yes | Included |
The 2020 vs ProKitchen decision often comes down to catalog coverage. If your clients carry manufacturers that are well-supported in ProKitchen's library, the cost savings are substantial. If you need access to all 55+ manufacturer catalogs with guaranteed accuracy, 2020 Design or outsourcing are the more reliable paths.
Pros of ProKitchen
ProKitchen has earned its growing user base for several reasons that matter to budget-conscious kitchen dealers:
- More affordable than 2020 Design: at roughly one-third to one-half the annual cost, ProKitchen pricing makes professional kitchen design software accessible to smaller dealers and independent designers who cannot justify a $10,000+ annual software expense
- Fully cloud-based: no local installation, no hardware requirements, no IT headaches. Log in from any browser on any device and your projects are there
- Good for dealers doing their own designs: if you have someone on staff who handles design work, ProKitchen provides the kitchen-specific tools they need without the steep learning curve of 2020 Design
- Growing manufacturer catalog library: Mozaik continues to add manufacturer catalogs, and the library has expanded significantly over the past two years
- Integrated ordering for supported brands: for manufacturers in their catalog library, ProKitchen can generate ordering documents directly from the design
Cons of ProKitchen
Despite its advantages, ProKitchen has limitations that dealers should weigh carefully before committing:
- Fewer manufacturer catalogs than 2020 Design: this is the most significant gap. If your clients carry cabinet lines that are not in ProKitchen's library, you will need to create workarounds or use generic cabinets that do not generate accurate ordering documents
- Still costs $2,500 or more per year: while cheaper than 2020 Design, the ProKitchen software cost is still a meaningful fixed expense — especially for dealers who design fewer than five kitchens per month
- Still requires someone to do the design work: software is a tool, not a solution. You still need a trained person spending hours on each kitchen layout, rendering, and revision. That labor cost often exceeds the software cost
- Training time needed: while the learning curve is more moderate than 2020 Design, ProKitchen still requires weeks of practice before a new user is producing client-ready output efficiently
- May not have all cabinet lines your clients carry: if you work with a variety of manufacturers, you may find that some of your most important brands are not yet supported in ProKitchen's catalog
What if you didn’t need software at all?
For $100/room, FKD handles everything ProKitchen does — floor plans, elevations, 3D renders, items list. No license, no training.
“$100 per room is unbeatable. We used to spend $300-500 per design with freelancers. FKD gives us better quality at a fraction of the cost.”

The Alternative: Outsource Kitchen Design for $100/Room
There is a third option that a growing number of kitchen dealers are choosing: skip the software debate entirely and outsource kitchen design to a specialized team.
At Fast Kitchen Design, dealers pay $100 per room and receive everything that expensive software produces — without buying any software, hiring a designer, or spending weeks on training:
- All 55+ manufacturer catalogs loaded in 2020 Design and always kept up to date
- Complete design packages: floor plans, wall elevations, photo-realistic 3D renderings, and items list with accurate pricing
- Delivered by next morning: submit your measurements tonight, receive the full package tomorrow morning
- Native .KIT files you can open in 2020 Design or send directly to manufacturers for ordering
- Unlimited revisions at no extra charge until your client is satisfied
- No learning curve, no license cost, no hiring overhead
More than 200 kitchen dealers and remodeling companies across North America already use this approach. They focus on selling and installing kitchens while a team of 30+ trained designers handles the drafting and rendering work behind the scenes.
Every FKD design package includes floor plans, elevation drawings, 3D renders, and an items list — everything ProKitchen or 2020 Design produces.
ProKitchen vs 2020 Design vs Outsourcing — Which Is Best?
The right choice depends on your business model, design volume, and how you want to spend your time and money:
- Budget-conscious dealer doing your own designs: ProKitchen is a solid choice. The ProKitchen software cost is manageable, the cloud-based workflow is convenient, and if your manufacturers are in their catalog library, it covers the basics well.
- High-volume dealer needing full catalog coverage: 2020 Design remains the industry standard for a reason. With 55+ pre-loaded manufacturer catalogs and professional-grade rendering, it handles production-level work across all major cabinet brands.
- Any dealer who does not want software overhead: outsourcing to FKD eliminates the software cost, the training time, and the need to hire a dedicated designer. You get professional output at a predictable per-room cost.
- Doing 5+ rooms per month: at this volume, outsourcing at $100 per room almost always costs less than maintaining software licenses plus the labor to operate them. Five rooms per month is $500 — less than the monthly cost of ProKitchen Pro alone, and you get the work done for you.
Many dealers start with ProKitchen or 2020 Design and eventually add outsourcing as their volume grows. The two approaches are not mutually exclusive — some dealers use software for simple projects and outsource complex multi-room kitchens.
