HomeBoard vs Soleil Clusters

HomeBoard is a mood-board and interior design app for developing and visualizing home ideas. Users can combine furniture, décor, and colors on boards, then turn those boards into AI-generated room renders. Paint palettes from Behr, Sherwin-Williams, and Benjamin Moore help with color planning, while a background remover can isolate objects from images. Projects can be organized into folders, with notes attached to items. Images can be added from Pinterest, Unsplash, a browser, or the camera roll; cut sheets can turn selections into shopping lists. Boards sync across devices, and the app includes comments and a presentation mode. HomeBoard runs on iOS, Android, and macOS. The maker describes it as useful for homeowners, amateur designers, and Airbnb hosts. It can be used without signing in, and the App Store lists it as free with in-app purchases. HomeBoard Pro Monthly costs $7.99 a month. HomeBoard Pro Yearly costs $39.99 a year and includes a 7-day free trial. Its privacy notice says third-party AI providers, including Photoroom and OpenAI, may process user inputs, outputs, and personal information.

Soleil Clusters is a visual workspace for film, photo, design, and brand teams to collect references, storyboards, shot lists, scripts, and schedules. Shared boards, called clusters, use an infinite canvas with live cursors, comments, and presence. Built-in documents let users write briefs beside the canvas, while tags gather references and a relationship graph connects cards and boards. Boards are private by default; users can invite collaborators or share a view-only public link that does not require an account to open. Images, video, audio, and PDFs become cards with viewers or players, while other files become downloadable cards. Clusters offers a REST API and an MCP server, with OAuth or personal access tokens for integrations. The free plan includes 50 cards, unlimited clusters and collaborators, and standard media only. Creator costs $25.00 per month, or $20/mo billed annually ($240/yr), and includes unlimited cards, any file type, no per-file size limits, and 100GB drive. It works in browsers, as an installable PWA, and through native iOS and Android apps.
