What it is

Arkio is design collaboration software for architects and other spatial designers, with tools to model, review and work on shared 3D scenes. Its solid modeling supports boolean operations and parametric volumes. In meetings, participants can view and edit the same scene together. For reviews, users can save views, add voice-transcribed notes, create AI renders and collaborate on 2D frames. Arkio offers plugins for Archicad, Navisworks, Revit, Rhino and SketchUp to import or export models and related data. The free Starter plan includes the modeling tools, one-on-one meetings, and OBJ, GLB and image import and export. Pro costs $35 per user a month with annual billing or $45 per user a month with monthly billing; it includes up to six meeting participants and 500 AI credits per month. Enterprise costs $85 per floating license per month with annual billing and supports up to 24 participants. AI renders use one credit each, and included credits renew monthly. Arkio runs on Android, iOS, macOS and Windows.

Who it suits. Arkio suits architects and spatial designers who want to develop ideas and review shared scenes together. Schools and educational institutions can apply for free educational licenses.
