PLANA vs Rendero

PLANA is a workspace for architecture and interiors that combines AI rendering, collaboration, and node-based workflows. In a browser, users can turn photos, sketches, or 3D models into photorealistic visuals. They can connect nodes to make rendering pipelines without code and save workflows as reusable templates. Workflows can also turn renders into video walkthroughs and produce structured, branded client proposals. Projects sit within hierarchical workspaces, with search across projects and files. PLANA offers web access, self-hosted deployment, and API access; enterprise options include integration with existing systems, dedicated server environments, on-premise software, and early API access. Enterprise controls include custom roles, permissions, organization management, and SCIM provisioning. A new account receives one 7-day Max trial without a card, which stops automatically without charge. Starter costs $8 a month and includes 500 monthly credits, one project, up to 2K image generation, and 5GB storage. Pro costs $20 a month and Max costs $50 a month.

Rendero is a browser-based AI rendering and image refinement platform for architectural visualization. It helps design teams explore visual directions, materials, atmosphere, and presentation drafts from existing images rather than model files. Users can upload PNG, JPG, or WebP sketches, clay renders, exported model views, or other visuals. Automatic segmentation lets users select image regions for refinement and compare options. The site lists Nano Banana, Nano Banana 2, Nano Banana Pro, GPT Image 2, and Stable Diffusion, although model and resolution access depend on the plan. Rendero works alongside modeling tools: users export images from SketchUp, Revit, Rhino, ArchiCAD, Vectorworks, or Blender for use in the browser. The free plan gives a one-time 50-credit allowance that does not refill monthly. Paid plans start at $19/mo; Lite is $19 a month for 300 credits. Credit charges vary by model and resolution, some engines also account for processing time, and upscaling costs extra credits. Generated images may alter geometry or details, so they need review and are not technical or construction documents.
