Fenestra

Fenestra hits a sweet spot for architectural visualization—it's not trying to be a general-purpose AI image generator, and that focus shows. The sketch-to-render pipeline is the standout: upload a rough pen sketch, describe materials and lighting, and get a presentation-ready render in seconds. The Edit mode is also impressive—adding furniture or changing facade materials via natural language works shockingly well. We'd reach for this when we need quick client iterations without firing up a full 3D modeling suite. The credit economy is reasonable for independent architects and small firms: Individual at $8/month gives 200 credits (roughly 200 renders or 20 videos), which covers a few projects. The Pro plan at $28/month with 1000 credits and image editing is the real value. Where it bites: the Team plan is only available yearly at $208.33/month for up to 5 seats, and Enterprise requires a sales call—no self-serve scaling. Also, the free trial gives only 5 credits, barely enough to test. Compared to Midjourney or DALL·E, Fenestra offers architectural-specific features like 3D model import and CAD rendering that general tools lack. But if you need unlimited generations or offline rendering, look elsewhere. The latest news confirms Seedance 2.0 now produces 720p video with audio, and GPT-Image-2 has been integrated for editing—these are meaningful improvements. For architects who want one tool that covers sketch-to-video without technical fuss, Fenestra is a strong bet.
