Published exterior-render prices by country
Render a House is an AI rendering tool for architects and real estate. Upload a drawing or model to explore visual directions before commissioning controlled production work.
The first row is Render a House. Its figures are in USD because the plans bill in USD; every other amount below remains in the source’s published local currency. “No published rate found” means no country-specific public freelancer price was verified for the exterior-still scope.
| Country / provider | Freelancer example | Studio / published example |
|---|---|---|
| Render a House | Not applicable | Free: 3 credits/day. Standard 1K: 1 credit. Pro: $39/240 credits ≈ $0.16 per credit. Studio: $99/1,000 credits ≈ $0.10 per credit. |
| United States | No published rate found | US Drafting Inc: basic exterior $600–$1,200 per image; detailed exterior with landscaping $1,000–$2,500, in USD. |
| United Kingdom | No published rate found | 3DAV: £295 for one starter exterior image or £595 for one growth hero image, ex VAT. |
| Australia | No published rate found | Build3DRender: exterior images from A$445 each, excluding GST. |

| Mexico | No published rate found | ArquiNetPolis publishes MX$1,500–4,500 for exterior-house renders, depending on scope and quality. |
| Argentina | No published rate found | DP Renders: AR$65,000–85,000 per interior/exterior image, depending on complexity; price is confirmed against plans. |
| Brazil | No published rate found | Márcia Machado Arquitetura: R$600 online for two views of one façade up to 60 m²; this is a package, not a single-view quote. |
The Render a House arithmetic uses the public monthly subscription prices and credit allowances. A 1K Standard still uses one credit; Free use is bounded by its daily allowance and carries a small watermark. Check the current plans and pricing documentation and credit table before budgeting.
How we sourced prices
We checked the linked studio and service price pages in October 2026. Each listed number links to its source; local prices remain in their published currency, with no conversion to USD. These are examples for specific scopes, not a country average or a promise of project cost. The freelancer column includes only a verified, country-specific per-exterior-image rate; hourly rates and request-a-quote listings are not converted into estimates. No like-for-like freelancer price was verified for these entries, so the cells say “No published rate found.” This is not an exhaustive marketplace survey.
Studio examples are not uniform: some include modeling, revisions, a specified resolution, or a small project; others give only a starting figure. Taxes also differ. Ask for the same drawings, camera, resolution, revisions, deadline, and usage rights in every quote.
How to compare the quotes
A low concept-render cost and a professional studio quote buy different work. Render a House can help compare materials, context, or lighting from an existing input; it does not turn the result into a verified construction drawing or a guaranteed final brief. If geometry, planting, camera accuracy, or contractual delivery matters, compare a human quote on the same defined scope.
For a broader breakdown of per-image, hourly, and package pricing, read the architectural rendering cost guide.
Common questions
Which country has the cheapest exterior architectural renders?
- The published examples here are not directly comparable: they cover different scopes, taxes, image counts, and levels of detail. Compare the same brief and deliverables rather than ranking countries from one rate card.
How much does one AI architectural render cost?
- A Standard 1K render costs one credit. On the current Render a House Pro plan, $39 divided by 240 monthly credits is about $0.16 per credit; on Studio, $99 divided by 1,000 is about $0.10. Free includes three credits a day, subject to its plan limits.
Why can two studios quote very different prices?
- A quote may include modeling, site context, planting, revisions, resolution, and usage rights—or omit them. Compare the scope, not just the per-image number.
Are freelance architectural-render rates available for every country?
- No. Where a reviewed public source did not provide a country-specific exterior-image rate, this guide says “No published rate found” instead of estimating.
Have a plan, elevation, or model ready? Try Render a House to explore a visual direction, then use a clearly scoped quote for the final deliverable.
