Finch vs FloorAI

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.

FloorAI turns sketches, photos, PDFs or text descriptions into labelled floor plans that users can edit. It accepts JPG, PNG and PDF uploads, including phone photos, scans and PDF drawings. In the built-in editor, users can move walls and openings, rename rooms, change areas, and move or rotate furniture. Available styles include 2D colour, 2D schematic, technical, blueprint and 3D isometric. Users can generate alternate arrangements for the same footprint, compare them at the same scale and create a matching upper floor. Exports are listed as PNG, PDF and GLB; DXF export is advertised in a customer testimonial. FloorAI is a web app with a free plan that provides four AI floor plan generations and an editor for personal use. Paid plans begin at $9.99 a month, billed yearly at 119.94 USD. Paid plans include commercial use and watermark-free output, with higher tiers providing larger generation allowances. FloorAI says uploaded images are used to generate design outputs and are not used to train its AI models without explicit consent.
