Atlasly vs Drafted

Atlasly provides early-stage site intelligence for architects, including first-pass screens of planning, flood, heritage, and related constraints. Its floor plan generator turns prompts into schematic 2D concept diagrams for ideation, not construction drawings. The free tool allows three generations per day without signup; free outputs are PNG, while DXF and DWG exports require an account. Atlasly says automated reports generate PDF site packs in under 60 seconds. Walkability AI provides pedestrian-network isochrones, four persona presets, weighted amenity categories, site comparisons, and GeoJSON, Shapefile, and SVG exports. Users can access Claude and ChatGPT through Atlasly’s hosted MCP server, and a Forma Site Design extension is listed. Atlasly says its earlier REST contract has been withdrawn, its OpenAPI document has no callable operations, and the REST API is not ready for client generation. The Starter plan is free, while Professional is £15 a month billed annually and Teams is £159 a month billed annually; both paid plans include a 14-day trial. Atlasly is a product of Parallel Labs Ltd, which works from Manchester, United Kingdom.

Drafted is a web and Windows tool for generating and refining AI floor plans and renders. You provide rooms, house shape, lot size, and design preferences, and it generates five layout options. Walls, doors, and windows can be edited in 2D while a matching 3D model updates. Furnished floor-plan views and exterior renders support selectable materials, colors, and architectural styles. Plans can be downloaded as PDF, AutoCAD DXF, or IFC files, and the Revit add-in generates native editable building elements that sync to a Drafted account. Projects can be shared with invited collaborators using Full-Access, Review, or View Only permissions. Imperial and metric units are supported. Drafted and its Revit add-in are free. Revit generation is limited to single-family, single-story residential designs. Output is schematic, does not check building codes, and requires qualified professional review before construction.
