Archome AI vs PLANA

Archome AI turns listing photos, sketches, CAD screenshots and plans into photorealistic architectural renders, with renders described as taking about 30 seconds. Its structure lock keeps massing, openings, proportions and camera fixed during image-to-image work while materials, lighting and atmosphere change. Tools cover interiors, exteriors, sketch-to-render, plans, masterplans, materials, inpainting, landscapes, detail, 2D-to-3D, video and upscaling. The service runs in a browser without a local installation or GPU. Free plugins connect it to SketchUp 2021 and newer and Rhino 7 or 8 on Windows and macOS; the 3ds Max 2021-and-newer plugin supports Windows. A public REST endpoint accepts a base64 PNG, tool and prompt, then returns a render URL. API calls share the web app's credit balance, image data is limited to about 10 MB, and calls are rate-limited. The free trial includes 100 credits for three renders. Paid options include a 15.00 USD one-time Starter Credit Pack and monthly plans, including Lite at $29 a month and Plus at $49 a month. Paid packs and plans list commercial-use rights.

PLANA is a workspace for architecture and interiors that combines AI rendering, collaboration, and node-based workflows. In a browser, users can turn photos, sketches, or 3D models into photorealistic visuals. They can connect nodes to make rendering pipelines without code and save workflows as reusable templates. Workflows can also turn renders into video walkthroughs and produce structured, branded client proposals. Projects sit within hierarchical workspaces, with search across projects and files. PLANA offers web access, self-hosted deployment, and API access; enterprise options include integration with existing systems, dedicated server environments, on-premise software, and early API access. Enterprise controls include custom roles, permissions, organization management, and SCIM provisioning. A new account receives one 7-day Max trial without a card, which stops automatically without charge. Starter costs $8 a month and includes 500 monthly credits, one project, up to 2K image generation, and 5GB storage. Pro costs $20 a month and Max costs $50 a month.
