How it compares with the tools designers already know.
According to my own October 2026 survey of the tools below: the studio tools manage clients you have already won, and the AI render apps make images that are not connected to an enquiry. LakberAI links the two: the enquiry arrives through the website assistant, you approve a render, and the quote goes out from the same system. Prices are list prices in USD, checked in October 2026, with the source next to each row.

Third-party listings can lag behind the vendors' own pages, and vendors show different prices by region. Check the source before you decide; tell me in the chat if a figure here is out of date and I correct it.
One chain from enquiry to signed quote.
It starts before the client is won
The website assistant answers new enquiries day and night, asks for a room photo and books the meeting. The studio tools above start once the client is already yours.
Renders inside the workflow
The AI render apps make good images, but nothing connects them to the enquiry, the approval or the quote. Here the render sits on the client card and goes out only after you approve it.
A flat fee for the studio
A studio of 3 pays one fee with 3 users and 150 renders included, not a seat price plus render credits.
Where the others are ahead.
3D floor plans and CAD
Houzz Pro and DesignFiles draw 3D floor plans. I do not, and I do not plan to: keep your design software for measured drawings.
Maturity
These tools have run for years with many studios. Here the website assistant and the render demo are live today, the rest is delivered to the first founding partners by a contract deadline.
Specification depth
Programa and Studio Designer go deep on FF&E specification and studio finance. My procurement list covers trade price, sale price, markup and status, not full accounting.
