Atlasly vs Finch

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 Atlasly says its earlier REST contract has been withdrawn, its OpenAPI document has no callable operations, and the REST API is not ready for client generation.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.

Finch is a building-design platform for generating plans, exploring options with real-time data, and producing project outputs. Its Plan Library draws on past projects, firm knowledge, accessibility rules, local codes, and constraints as a basis for design generation. The AI agent Archie handles repetitive precision tasks such as placing doors, checking compliance, and updating linked units. Finch produces floor plans, area calculations, and BIM geometry, with exports to traditional BIM tools. It documents workflows with Rhino, Revit, Grasshopper, and Autodesk Forma; listed application versions include Rhino 8, Rhino 7.24+, Rhino 6 SR35+, and Revit 2023–2027. Finch is available as an extension and on macOS, the web, and Windows. The Free plan costs nothing for one user. Basic costs €79 a month for one user and lists a 14-day trial. Enterprise costs €14,500 a year, billed annually for at least three seats.
