Gendo vs MyArchitectAI
MyArchitectAI and Gendo both offer unlimited AI renders from sketches, CAD exports and model screenshots, at similar prices for a five-person team. The difference is in how a studio works with the images: MyArchitectAI is a fast rendering tool, and Gendo is a shared design canvas where teams review, compare and sign off options together.

The short answer
- MyArchitectAI suits solo designers and small teams who want unlimited stills, high-resolution downloads and included animations, with a simple upload-and-render flow.
- Gendo suits practices where several people iterate and review with clients, and where ownership, confidentiality and governance need to be set out in a contract.

Pricing for five people
Both sell a plan for five people. MyArchitectAI Team is $99 a month, or $990 a year ($82.50 a month on average). Gendo Studio is £79 a month, or £66 a month billed annually, for five editors, with extra seats at £15 a month and free viewer seats.
MyArchitectAI's pricing page also says "Prices are in USD, per user", so confirm with them whether Team is $99 in total or per seat. For one person, MyArchitectAI Starter at $29 is the cheaper route, because Gendo has no single-seat paid plan.
Where MyArchitectAI is stronger
- Higher stated download resolution: 8K on Studio and Team.
- Animations are included in the monthly plan, rather than bought as packs.
- An interface in eight languages.
Where Gendo is stronger
- One canvas for the whole review. Variations, materials, comments and decisions sit together, so a director or client can see why an option was chosen.
- Clients review free. Viewer seats cost nothing on Studio.
- IP in writing. On Studio and Enterprise, prompts and outputs are contractually excluded from model training and marketing and are treated as confidential (Data and control, Plan catalogue).
- EU hosting and Enterprise governance. GDPR-compliant EU data centres. SSO, audit logs and custom DPAs on Enterprise, for practices with procurement and NDA requirements.
