ArchRender vs ArchiVinci

ArchiVinci and ArchRender are both AI rendering tools for architects. ArchiVinci sells unlimited renders on its own engine for a higher monthly price. ArchRender starts at $29 a month with credits, lets you upload a 3D model and set the camera in your browser, and adds area edits, 4K upscaling and video.

Try ArchRender

The short answer

  • Choose ArchiVinci if: You want unlimited renders on one engine. You want a SketchUp plugin, floor-plan generation or 3D walkthroughs, which ArchiVinci lists¹. You only need a tool for a few days (one-time passes).
