BuildFloorPlan vs Finch

BuildFloorPlan is a web service that turns text prompts, sketches, and images into floor plan drafts. Users can enter measurements and choose Technical 2D, 2.5D, or 3D-style output, then compare, edit, refine, restyle, and download results. It supports ideas for houses, apartments, small homes, family houses, and renovations, as well as early layouts for offices, restaurants, retail stores, clinics, studios, and warehouses. Generation, editing, and style changes use credits. The Free plan costs nothing and includes two generations, sketch or image upload, exports, and a seven-day history window; no card is required. Pro costs $19.90 a month and includes 250 monthly credits, all three output styles, unlimited history while subscribed, and email support. Plus costs $39.90 a month and includes 800 monthly credits, shareable links, branded exports, and priority support. Free and Pro are for personal or internal use; Plus and Lite Annual allow commercial use. Generated plans are drafts, not construction documentation or a substitute for licensed review.

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.
