Fenestra vs Treform

Fenestra is a browser-based studio that turns architectural sketches, CAD drawings, photos, and 3D models into renders and animations. It accepts prompts and uploads including JPG, PNG, WEBP, PDF, GLB, FBX, and 3DM, with workflows for Revit, Rhino, and SketchUp. Users can create, edit, enhance, and animate designs through natural-language prompts and cinematic presets. Realtime image generation runs at 15+ FPS while the camera, prompts, or styles change. Its Video tool turns a still render, sketch, or photo into a flythrough using pan, dolly, or orbit moves. The homepage advertises 71 AI models for image, editing, and video work. Fenestra runs entirely in a browser without a plugin, render-engine setup, or dedicated GPU. A free plan is available; Individual costs $8 a month when billed yearly, with 200 credits monthly. Pro, Studio, and Team add credits and collaboration features, while Enterprise uses unlisted pricing. Pro, Studio, and Team are private by default, and Fenestra says it does not train on customer data.

Treform is an AI-native architecture platform that generates floor plans, 3D models, and renders from plain-language descriptions. It can create editable 3D massing from text prompts or reference photos, then use described changes to produce editable plans, sections, and elevations. Listed architectural guidance covers circulation, structure, daylight, and code, alongside area calculations and sun path analysis. Inputs include text prompts, reference photos, site addresses, and property lines. Treform Desktop is described as working with Rhino, Grasshopper, SketchUp, Revit, and Blender; the homepage also lists AutoCAD. Exports include DWG and PDF for plans, GLB, OBJ, and IFC for 3D models, and high-resolution PNG or JPG for renders. The Free plan allows 3 AI edits per month, has no rendering, and does not permit commercial use; exports are watermarked. Paid plans include a commercial license and start at $25 a month. Desktop is available for macOS Apple silicon and Windows 10/11 64-bit; Rhino use requires Rhino 8 SR29 or later.
