Fermat vs Gendo

Fermat is a generative AI toolbox for fashion and luxury design work, from moodboards to realistic renders, materials and virtual model fitting. Its toolbox lists more than 40 tools arranged by workflow. Designers can turn apparel sketches into photorealistic images, preview fabric before making samples, and alter sleeves, hems, necklines, fit or length without redrawing. Custom Styles uses uploaded visual references to guide image generation. A no-code Tool Editor can package public or private AI models in internal company frontends. Enterprise features include batch processing, API access, custom workflows and custom tools. Fermat says customer prompts, uploads, references and generations are not used to train its models or third-party foundation models; customers retain intellectual property ownership of generations. It lists SOC 2 certification, including SOC Type I and SOC 2 Type II. The free Starter plan includes 1 credit; each image generation costs 1 credit and each video generation costs 4. Pro costs $30 a month and includes 150 credits per month. Fermat offers web and API access.

Gendo is a web-based collaborative canvas for architectural visualization. Architects and designers can generate renders from sketches, change materials, populate scenes, transfer styles, enhance images, and upscale renders to 4× resolution. Its natural-language assistant can use workspace tools, and teams can run simultaneous generations, share images, add comments and notes, and iterate together. Users bring scenes or views into the canvas by exporting them; direct plugins for Revit, SketchUp, and Blender are on the roadmap. The free plan includes Material Bank material specification, but its prompts and outputs are not treated as confidential. Studio and Enterprise prompts and outputs are contractually protected from AI training and marketing use. Gendo says data is stored in EU data centres, encrypted at rest with AES-256 and in transit with TLS. Free costs nothing; Studio costs £66 a year, billed annually at £66/mo (£790/year; excl. tax).
