Gendo vs Spacely AI

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).

Spacely AI turns sketches, 3D models, and room photos into interior renders; its homepage says renders can be produced in under 60 seconds. Its tools include rendering, editing, lighting, furnishing, enhancement, point-and-edit changes, style transfer, and angle generation. Users can upload photos or use text prompts, and the listed output resolution is 4K. Team Canvas offers shared projects and credits, live teammate edits, feedback, and team-wide access controls. Listed integrations include SketchUp, Revit, AutoCAD, and Rhino, although AutoCAD is marked as in development on the extensions page. The SketchUp extension is described as free to install and renders models without leaving SketchUp. Free Plan costs nothing and includes 40 trial credits, access to all features, high-resolution downloads, private mode, a commercial license, and watermark-free downloads. One-time options include 200 credits for 9.00 USD, 1,000 for 35.00 USD, and 5,000 for 150.00 USD. Credit use can vary with render options and result count; only subscribers can buy top-ups.
