Maket AI Alternative — From Plan Generation to Photographic Output
Generating a layout and selling a layout are two different steps.
What Maket AI is
Maket AI works at the generative-layout end of the process: it proposes floor-plan arrangements from constraints. That is genuinely useful early, when the question is still "how could this footprint be organised?".
What it produces is a plan, not a photographic image a client reacts to.
Where Archome AI differs
Archome AI picks up where a layout leaves off. Plan & Render takes a floor plan — generated, drawn or scanned — and produces rendered room views from it, so a client sees the space rather than a diagram.
From there the same account handles interiors, exteriors, sketch-to-render, 3D export and walkthrough video. The two tools are closer to sequential than competing.
Side by side
| Maket AI | Archome AI | |
|---|---|---|
| Stage of work | Layout generation | Visualisation of a layout or design |
| Output | Floor-plan options | Photographic renders, 3D assets, video |
| Input accepted | Constraints and requirements | Plans, sketches, photos, CAD and 3D viewport captures |
| Client presentation | Plan drawings | Images clients respond to without reading a plan |

- —You are still deciding how to organise the footprint
- —You want automated layout options from a brief
Choose Archome AI if
- —The layout exists and now has to be sold
- —You need room views, elevations or a walkthrough from that plan

Frequently asked
Can Archome AI generate floor plans?+
It does not generate layouts from a brief. It renders plans you already have — Plan & Render turns a 2D plan into rendered room views, and 2D-to-3D can reconstruct a 3D interpretation of a plan image.
Can I use both tools together?+
That is the natural workflow: generate layout options first, then render the chosen one photorealistically for the client conversation.
Is Archome AI free to try against Maket AI?+
Yes. Every account gets 100 free credits per month with no credit card. Free renders run at Ultra quality (30 credits each), which is about 3 renders a month — enough to compare output on your own project rather than on marketing samples.
Can I use the renders commercially?+
On any paid plan, yes — files are watermark-free and carry a full commercial licence. Free-plan renders are watermarked and intended for evaluation and personal use.
What should I actually compare?+
Run the same input through both tools and zoom in on the parts that matter: did the window count change, is the wall line still straight, are the proportions still yours? Marketing pages do not settle this — a side-by-side on your own photo does.
