Finch vs Luw.ai Studio

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.

Luw.ai Studio is a browser-based floor-plan generator and 3D design studio that turns briefs, photos, sketches, and other supported inputs into editable scenes. Its in-editor AI architect uses more than 40 browser-side tools to create and edit measurable geometry that can be undone. The generator makes scaled 2D and 3D plans with walls, doors, windows, dimensions, and baseline room sizes and clearances. Users can furnish rooms from a catalog of more than 150 items, with placements checked against door swings and clearances. Rendering supports photorealistic or stylized 4K and 8K output, prompts, reference images, and day or night settings. Studio imports DXF and IFC, with IFC described as early alpha, and exports dimensioned PNG or SVG plans and GLB, OBJ, and STL models. Sharing supports view-only, download, or edit access; MCP access enables headless use with Claude Desktop, Cursor, or a user's own agent. The free plan offers two credits per day, while paid plans start at $19 per month.
