Redraw alternative
The Redraw alternative built on the best AI models — chosen for you
Redraw bundles several general-purpose models (OpenAI, Hunyuan, Kling, Wanx) and lets you pick. Maquete runs on the best AI models available — Nano Banana Pro from Google plus GPT-5.4 from OpenAI for validation — chosen and tuned for architectural fidelity. You upload, we get it right. Start free, no card required.
Why architects switch from Redraw to Maquete
Best models, best results — without thinking
Redraw centralises multiple general-purpose models — OpenAI, Hunyuan, Kling, Wanx — and surfaces the choice to you. Maquete demands quality on your behalf. We run on the best AI models available (Nano Banana Pro from Google for image generation, GPT-5.4 from OpenAI to validate output before it ships). One frontier model per task, picked for architectural quality, upgraded as new models arrive. You never see a model picker. You never write a prompt. You upload — we get the best render out of the best model, every time.
Guided briefing instead of free-form upload
Redraw's flow is upload + a few style toggles. Maquete's guided render was designed by a licensed architect (Laura) for real architectural decisions — time of day, light quality, window treatment, material specification, scene context. Structured choices that produce structured results, every time.
Geometry preserved exactly as modelled
Multi-model bundles tend to drift — walls soften, openings shift, furniture appears. Maquete's prompts are tuned specifically to preserve walls, openings, proportions, and structural elements without reinterpretation. The render matches what you actually designed.
Client share links + inline feedback
Redraw outputs are downloads — you save the image and email the client. Maquete projects come with public share URLs: clients open a clean gallery in any browser, comment directly on images, and approve without email chains. No account required on their end.

Frequently asked questions
Is Maquete a good alternative to Redraw?
Yes. Maquete is a direct Redraw alternative built on a frontier image model (Nano Banana Pro from Google) with GPT-5.4 output validation, plus a native SketchUp plugin and a guided briefing designed by a licensed architect. Both produce photorealistic AI renders from architectural inputs — Maquete's edge is model quality, SketchUp-native rendering, and architectural fidelity.
What model does Maquete use vs Redraw?
Maquete runs on Nano Banana Pro — the current frontier image model from Google — and uses GPT-5.4 to validate output before it ships. Redraw centralises several general-purpose models (OpenAI, Hunyuan, Kling, Wanx). Maquete picks one frontier model per task and upgrades it as new models arrive, so you never see a model picker.
How does Maquete pricing compare to Redraw?
Redraw's entry tier starts at $15/month (300 renders, 1 user). Maquete's paid plans start at $19/month with commercial rights, the SketchUp plugin, the guided architectural workflow, and client share links included. Redraw is cheaper at the entry tier; Maquete includes the SketchUp plugin and architect-built workflow at every tier.
How does Maquete compare to Redraw on geometry fidelity?
Maquete is engineered specifically to preserve modelled walls, openings, proportions, and structural elements — no scene reinterpretation. Redraw uses a bundle of general-purpose generative models where some drift is common. For client-facing deliverables where the render must match what you designed, Maquete's fidelity-first approach is the differentiator.
