Why designers choose Casa over Programa

Programa delivers a comprehensive set of tools, particularly for firms working across architecture and interior projects. However, many designers find that managing FF&E inside Programa still requires manual setup and more time than expected.

Casa takes a different approach - AI eliminates repetitive scheduling tasks, surfaces vendor details automatically, and helps teams stay focused on creative decisions. For interior designers seeking a platform that feels immediately aligned with the way design work actually happens, Casa offers a lighter, faster, and more affordable path forward.

AI-powered product sourcing

AI-driven FF&E scheduling with built in web scrappers vs. Programa’s manual finish and furniture schedules set up via web clipping.

Easy to use software

By-designers-for-designers user experience vs. Programa’s broader architectural project focus. A lean team that will build for you.

Streamlined budget management

Casa generates budgets with preset sourcing targets. It factors in markup, freight, tax, and real-time tracking.

How does Casa compare to Programa?

Designers often switch because of friction - if you spend 30 minutes per client just formatting, clipping, or reconciling budgets, you’re losing time and energy. Casa wins where speed, clarity, and creative flow count.

The Story Behind Casa AI

Hi, I’m Cassandra, an NYC interior designer. 

When AI took off, most tools aimed to replace designers - not empower us. I didn’t need AI to take over my job; I needed it to handle the admin work so I could actually design.  

Like many in the industry, we’re a small team where every saved hour matters. I spent too much time on client presentations, budget updates, approvals, supplier emails, tracking deliveries, returns, and project timelines- leaving little room for real design.

That’s why I built Casa. Now, AI handles the busywork, freeing me to focus on creativity. I walk into client meetings fully prepared, projects stay on budget, and my business has never run smoother.  

Casa is built by designers, for designers -so we can spend more time creating, not managing spreadsheets.
