    Boardspace vs Gendo for Interior Designers and Architects

    Gendo (gendo.ai) is an AI tool dedicated to architects and designers, specializing in turning sketches and SketchUp models into photorealistic renders. It's excellent for the sketch-to-render leap. Boardspace is a broader platform: includes sketch-to-render, but also a Hebrew AI agent, image generation from description (not just from sketch), AI video, moodboards, presentations, and a creator marketplace. If you just need 'sketch → render' — Gendo is light and focused. If you need a complete workflow — Boardspace.

    When Gendo is the better choice

    • Your focus is hand-sketch or a SketchUp section → photorealistic render, with nothing else needed.

    • You're an English-preferred architect with no Hebrew content needs.

    • You want a light, fast tool that specializes in one thing — Gendo is easier to onboard for that scenario.

    When Boardspace is the better choice

    • You want to generate from a Hebrew description without a sketch — Gendo requires sketch input.

    • You want AI video for clients too — Gendo doesn't do video.

    • You want one workflow from sketch to deck — Boardspace.

    • You want to hire an approved designer for the render when out of time — Boardspace has a marketplace.

    • You work in Hebrew — Boardspace native, Gendo English-only.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is Boardspace's 'sketch-to-real' workflow equivalent to Gendo?+
    Essentially — yes. Both take a sketch and return a photorealistic render. Differences: on Boardspace it's 5 tokens (~$0.50), auto aspect detection, and the output lands on a canvas where you can keep working. On Gendo the whole product focuses there, with finer control over angle.
    Which is more accurate for a professional architect's sketch?+
    Gendo typically gives more control over preserving dimensions and proportions from the original sketch. On Boardspace it depends on the model the agent picks; in practice, for architects requiring high sketch-fidelity, Gendo is still considered more pro.
    Can I use both in one project?+
    Definitely. Common workflow: sketch → Gendo → initial render. Import to Boardspace canvas → material swaps, video generation, client deck. A productive combo.
    Can Boardspace render without a sketch?+
    Yes — and that's the big difference. On Boardspace you can write 'Scandinavian living room, 30 sqm, oak parquet, gray sofa, exposed concrete accent wall' and get a render. On Gendo you need a sketch as input.
    Which is cheaper?+
    Boardspace with a free tier and $19 entry is cheaper than Gendo (~$39). For heavy users producing dozens of renders monthly, pricing converges; Boardspace is cheaper on mixed deliverables (image + video + presentation) since Gendo only does renders.
