Arkio vs Realsee

Arkio is a design collaboration tool for architects and other spatial designers. Its solid-modeling tools support boolean operations and parametric volumes, while meeting participants can view and edit the same scene together in real time. For design review, users can save views, add voice-transcribed notes, make AI renders, and collaborate on 2D frames. Plugins connect Arkio with Archicad, Navisworks, Revit, Rhino, and SketchUp for model and related-data import or export. The free Starter plan includes the modeling tools, one-on-one meetings, and OBJ, GLB, and image import and export. Pro allows up to six meeting participants and includes 500 AI credits per month; it costs $35/user/mo with annual billing or $45/user/mo with monthly billing. Enterprise supports up to 24 participants and includes 1,000 monthly AI credits per license. Each AI render uses one credit, and credits renew monthly. Arkio runs on Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows. A Pro license can be installed on two devices but used on only one at a time.

Realsee is an AI-powered digital twin platform for capturing spaces and producing 3D virtual tours and related deliverables. Capture workflows include phones, 360 cameras, gimbals, and several Galois and Poincaré systems. Lightweight methods support up to 100 capture points per project; Galois LiDAR projects support up to 2,000. A scan can produce point clouds, 3D models, CAD, floor plans, and high-definition panoramas. Editing tools include multimedia and area labels, video fusion, guided navigation, AI camera removal, and image optimization. Tours can be embedded on websites, shared on social media, or published to Google Street View. Capture, upload, editing, preview, and storage are free, though generation or active hosting may use credits depending on capture method. One credit can generate or keep a tour active for 30 days; purchased credits last one year. The free plan costs nothing. Credit bundles start at 120.00 USD once for 40 credits. Realsee lists web, Android, iOS, and API access, plus developer tools including Five SDK, OpenAPI, Playground, and Argus.
