PromeAI or Gendo
The short answer.
Pick PromeAI if you work alone and want one coin balance across 15 image models and 13 video models, from $29/mo — or $39/mo once the work is commercial. Pick Gendo if a studio of up to five people reviews and comments on renders together: its Studio plan is £79/mo with five seats included, and its Free plan gives unlimited watermarked generations.
If what you actually need is to turn a 3D model or a sketch into a render, Render a House is the alternative: it runs in any browser with no GPU, returns a concept image in about 30–60 seconds, and is free for 3 renders a day. Last updated: September 25, 2026.

Render a House
Render a House, the alternative for 3D model or sketch to render.

| PromeAI and Gendo | Render a House | |
|---|---|---|
| What it does | Render sketches inside an image suite or a team canvas. | Turns a model, sketch or plan into a render, then edits by area. |

| Where it runs | Web apps, no install. | Any browser, no GPU, Mac included. |
| Price | PromeAI from $29/mo; Gendo Studio £79/mo. | Free at 3 a day; Pro $39/mo. |

What you get
3D integration
Where your modelling software exports a mesh, upload it and set the camera in the browser, then render from that view.
Rendering
Photorealism in seconds rather than a queued calculation you leave running over lunch.
Video
A camera move across the same project, generated from a finished still. Nothing to animate.
Design
Try materials, light and surroundings until the version you want exists, without touching the source model.
Refinement
Fix one part of a render — a facade panel, a tree, a sky — without starting the image again.
Precision
Your geometry is respected: the walls, openings, heights and proportions you drew in your modelling software stay where you put them.
Collaborative
Share a link and take comments on the image itself, so feedback lands on the render rather than in an email thread.
Mobile and web
Runs in the browser, on the machine you have open, including a laptop that would struggle with a local render engine.
4K
Delivery resolution, ready to print or put on a board without a separate upscaling step.
Render a House is an AI rendering tool for architects, interior designers and real estate. Frame a GLB in the browser or photograph a sketch, and a concept image comes back in about 30–60 seconds. The UI is in English, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese.

What Render a House cannot do.
- Replace Gendo's shared canvas. There are no multi-seat workspaces, team roles or live shared comments of the kind Gendo Studio is built around.
- Match PromeAI's 42-tool range. Render a House is for architecture, interiors and real estate — not headshots, product shots or game art.
- Produce measured drawings or BIM data. The output is a concept image; geometry is generally preserved but can shift, so check openings and proportions against the model.
- Open a .skp file or run as a plugin inside SketchUp, Revit or Rhino. Export a GLB, or take a screenshot of the view, first.
The verdict
The verdict.
PromeAI and Gendo rarely compete for the same buyer. PromeAI is better value for one person who wants the widest choice of models, video included. Gendo is better for a practice that wants renders discussed in one shared, private place, and its free plan makes that easy to test.
If the job is simply to turn a 3D model or a sketch into a render, try Render a House first: it is free for 3 renders a day, needs no GPU, and runs in the browser you already have open.
Common questions about PromeAI vs Gendo.
Is Gendo better than PromeAI?
For an architecture team, yes: Gendo is built around a shared canvas with five Studio seats and unlimited viewer seats. For one person who wants many image and video models on one budget, PromeAI fits better, with commercial use from $39/mo.
Is PromeAI free?
Partly. PromeAI has a Free version, but its commercial-use page limits Free and Base to personal use, and the pricing page does not publish the free allowance (checked Sept 2026). Commercial work starts on Standard at $39/mo.
Is Gendo free?
Yes. Gendo's Free plan gives unlimited watermarked generations on one project canvas with 1K export and no credit card. Commercial use and watermark-free export start on Studio at £79/mo; students with .edu or .ac addresses get a free Educational plan, without commercial rights.
Can I use PromeAI or Gendo without a 3D model?
Yes. Both render from a hand sketch or a photo, and Gendo also generates from text alone. Render a House also takes GLB, GLTF and OBJ models when you have one.
Do PromeAI and Gendo run on a Mac?
Yes, both are web apps used in the browser, so a Mac with a current browser is enough. Gendo takes SketchUp, Rhino or Revit exports as uploaded images rather than through a plugin. Render a House is also browser-based and needs no GPU.
What is the best alternative to PromeAI and Gendo?
Render a House, if the job is turning a 3D model or a sketch into a render. It runs in any browser with no GPU, returns a concept image in about 30–60 seconds, and is free for 3 renders a day. It has no team canvas like Gendo and no non-architecture tools like PromeAI.
