Snaptrude vs Speckle

Snaptrude is a web-based, cloud design platform for architects and interior designers working on concept design and collaboration. It links site analysis, programming, massing, BIM, and presentation in one connected model. AI can generate and refine project designs, after which users edit the result in Snaptrude Editor. A spreadsheet-style program interface connects to the 3D environment, with changes reflected in both. Early massing can become BIM, and models can be exported to Rhino and Revit, with IFC support also listed. The presentation workspace enables real-time work with teammates, consultants, or clients. Snaptrude lists quantity takeoff, API access, and mobile viewer access. It states that it is SOC 2 compliant, encrypts data in transit and at rest, and isolates AI queries between tenants. The free plan allows three projects and limited presentation outputs. Individual costs $60 a month; Organization costs $100 a month billed annually.

Speckle is a design data platform for architecture, engineering, and construction. Users can drag and drop model files to view, share, analyze, and comment without opening a desktop design tool. Speckle Intelligence works on published model data and shows the queries, models, and rows behind its answers. Model validation checks published versions against configurable standards and scores each package. Design Review features include a 3D model viewer, issues, markups, and presentations. Listed integrations span ACC, IFC, Revit, Power BI, Rhino, SketchUp, Navisworks, Grasshopper, Blender, Archicad, Civil 3D, AutoCAD, ETABS, Tekla, Vectorworks, Plant 3D, Databricks, and Snowflake. The free Explore plan costs nothing and includes one project, up to three users, 100 versions across a workspace, and 30-day version history. Speckle states that it is SOC 2 Type II certified and aligned with GDPR, and that it does not train AI on customer data. Data is encrypted with TLS in transit and AES-256 at rest; audit logs are marked as coming soon.
