Archifruits is a web app that makes architectural renders with AI. An architectural render is a picture of a building or a room that does not exist yet, made from a 3D model or a sketch so that a client can see the design. Studios usually make renders with 3D software and long computer render times. Archifruits takes an image the architect already has and returns a finished picture in seconds. It is built as model orchestration: the app does not train its own model, but sends each task to the rented model that does that task best, for example Google's Nano Banana for realistic renders, Kling or Seedance for short films, and Tripo or Hunyuan for 3D models.
TrustMRR, a site that reads revenue directly from a startup's payment provider, lists one founder, Fatih Ekşi. The terms of service name the operator as Blick3d, Inc., a Delaware company, and the about page of the Blick3d visualization studio names Fatih Ekşi as its managing director. Revenue is verified. TrustMRR shows US$73,052 in payments from November 2025 to 25 October 2026, read from Stripe. It also shows US$4,754 of monthly recurring revenue (MRR), the subscription revenue of one month with yearly plans spread over twelve months, from 110 active subscriptions.
This page grades every number by its evidence. The trend is down: monthly revenue peaked at US$9,149 in June 2026, then fell to between US$5,000 and US$5,900 a month from July to September, and the last 30 days brought US$4,465, about half of June. The page also shows four failed startups that tried to sell 3D design pictures or design work for buildings and rooms before image models could make a render in seconds.
How much revenue does Archifruits make?
Each row shows the evidence grade and the source numbers from the list at the end of this page. The grades are explained in How Aiolum verifies.
| Fact | Value | Grade | How we know | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Verified revenue, November 2025 to 25 October 2026 | US$73,052 | A | TrustMRR, read from Stripe through an API key, last synced 25 October 2026. It includes monthly plans, yearly plans paid in advance and credit purchases. | [1] |
| Monthly recurring revenue, 25 October 2026 | US$4,754 | A | TrustMRR snapshot, with 110 active subscriptions. TrustMRR shows a change of minus 1.4% over the last 30 days. | [1] |
| Average revenue per active subscription | about US$43 a month | calc | Calculated: 4,754 divided by 110 equals 43.2. The plans cost US$19, US$69 and US$169 a month, so most subscribers pay for the cheaper plans or for yearly plans. | [1, 7] |
| Yearly run rate from MRR | about US$57,000 | calc | Calculated: 4,754 multiplied by 12 equals 57,048. | [1] |
| Verified revenue by month, November 2025 to February 2026 | US$1,139; 4,854; 7,491; 7,285 | A | TrustMRR monthly timeline. November 2025 covers only the days after the launch. | [1] |
| Verified revenue by month, March to June 2026 | US$6,433; 6,882; 9,127; 9,149 | A | TrustMRR monthly timeline. June 2026 is the highest month. | [1] |
| Verified revenue by month, July to September 2026 | US$5,735; 5,908; 5,027 | A | TrustMRR monthly timeline. The average of the three months, about US$5,557, is 39% below June (calculated). | [1] |
| Verified revenue, 1 to 25 October 2026 | US$3,574 | A | TrustMRR monthly timeline, a partial month. At the same daily rate, all of October would bring about US$4,430 (calculated: 3,574 divided by 25, multiplied by 31). | [1] |
| Verified revenue, last 30 days to 25 October 2026 | US$4,465 | A | TrustMRR shows minus 30.0% against the 30 days before. It is 51% below June 2026 (calculated: 4,465 divided by 9,149 is 0.488). The largest single day, 1 October, brought US$870, 19% of the 30 days. | [1] |
| Last 3 months compared with the 3 months before | US$15,025 against US$24,125, minus 38% | calc | Calculated from TrustMRR's last-3-months (US$15,025) and last-6-months (US$39,150) totals: 39,150 minus 15,025 equals 24,125. | [1] |
| Monthly totals compared with the all-time total | US$448 apart | calc | Calculated: the twelve monthly figures add up to US$72,604, which equals TrustMRR's last-12-months figure (US$72,605), while the all-time figure is US$73,052. TrustMRR does not say which payments make the difference. | [1] |

How to read this table: a grade A value was read by TrustMRR from Stripe, the payment provider, through an API key. A grade C value comes from the company's own pages or a founder-written listing. A "calc" value was computed on this page from the rows above it.
| Plan | Per month, billed yearly (US$) | Per month, billed monthly (US$) | Limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hobby (trial) | 19 | 1,250 credits a month, up to 4 images a batch, some modules limited | |
| Basic | 49.92 | 69 | 5,000 credits a month (60,000 a year on the yearly plan), up to 8 images a batch |
| Pro | 133.25 | 169 | 12,500 credits a month (150,000 a year on the yearly plan), up to 15 images a batch |
| Basic yearly | 599 a year | billed once a year | |
| Pro yearly | 1599 a year | billed once a year |
Credits pay for the AI work. The pricing questions say a balance render costs 2 credits, a standard render 5 credits and a high-detail 2K Pro render 15 credits. Extra credits can be bought, never expire, and need an active plan. The page says "Save 21%+ annually": the Basic yearly plan is 28% cheaper than 12 monthly payments and the Pro yearly plan 21% (calculated). The company describes the US$19 plan as "essentially a trial subscription". The search description of the pricing page also mentions "a watermarked free trial", which is not in the plan list. Images are deleted after 30 days.
When did Archifruits launch, and how did it grow?
From a company founded in February 2025 to a falling revenue line in October 2026. Each entry carries its grade.
- Before 2023CFatih Ekşi runs Blick3d, an architectural visualization and animation studio. Its pages claim "About 12 years of experience", "More than 300 professional projects" and "over 15 years" of work; the pages carry a 2023 copyright. [4, 5]
- 18 February 2025CBlick3d, Inc. is incorporated in Delaware, according to the Archifruits privacy policy. [3]
- 27 November 2025AArchifruits is founded, according to TrustMRR. The first verified payments arrive the same month: US$1,139. [1]
- 30 November 2025CThe earliest archived copy of the home page describes the first version: "Upload up to 3 images, pick a style, and get side-by-side before/after visuals in seconds." [11]
- January 2026AUS$7,491 of verified revenue, the first full month above US$7,000. [1]
- May and June 2026AThe two best months: US$9,127 and US$9,149. [1]
- July 2026ARevenue falls to US$5,735, 37% below June (calculated), and stays between US$5,000 and US$5,900 through September. [1]
- 2 September 2026CVersion 0.1.2 of the SketchUp plugin is packaged. It opens Archifruits inside SketchUp and sends the current 3D view to a render module. [9]
- 22 September 2026CThe privacy policy is updated. It lists Google (Gemini), Replicate, fal.ai, RunPod and Anthropic as AI providers. [3]
- 25 October 2026ATrustMRR shows US$73,052 in verified revenue, US$4,754 MRR from 110 subscriptions, and US$4,465 in the last 30 days, minus 30%. [1]
Why did Archifruits work?
Four causes, in the order they mattered. Each one is a reusable lesson.
A tool from inside the trade
The founder runs a studio that sells renders and animations to architecture firms. Archifruits sells the same jobs as self-service modules: sketch to render, material swap, new camera angles, environments, floor plan coloring, flyers and short films. The home page says: "Architecture is too specific for one-size-fits-all AI. We pick the strongest model per task so your output stays predictable."
One model per task
Each module calls the model that suits its job: Nano Banana from Google for realistic renders, Flux and GPT Image for other image tasks, Kling or Seedance 2.0 Fast for films, Tripo or Hunyuan for 3D models. The company rents these models through official paid interfaces (Google's Gemini API, Replicate, fal.ai) and changes them as better ones appear. The architect sees one tool and one credit balance.
Inside the design software
Plugins for seven design programs (SketchUp, Rhino, Revit, AutoCAD, Archicad, Blender and Cinema 4D), downloaded from the site at no charge and all marked beta, open Archifruits next to the 3D model and send the current view to a module with one click. The SketchUp plugin is a small Ruby file that captures the view and loads the Archifruits website; it calls no other AI service itself.
Credits that follow model costs
A cheap balance render costs 2 credits and a high-detail render 15 credits, so heavy use of expensive models costs the customer more. Yearly plans are paid in advance, which brings cash early but makes single months uneven.
How it was built
These details come from the company's own pages, its privacy policy, the text files of its web app and the SketchUp plugin file (grade C; the plugin code is public). [3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
- A single-page web app: the site loads its content by script, in 13 languages, from text files on the same server. A backend on Railway handles accounts, credits and Stripe checkout; the privacy policy lists Railway and Vercel as hosts.
- Sign-in only with Google accounts. Payments, plan changes and the customer billing page run on Stripe.
- AI providers named in the privacy policy: Google (Gemini), Replicate, fal.ai, RunPod and Anthropic. The module texts name Nano Banana Pro and Nano Banana 2, Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, GPT Image 2, Flux 3, Kling, Seedance 2.0 Fast, Tripo and Hunyuan.
- A SketchUp plugin (version 0.1.2, packaged 2 September 2026) for SketchUp 2021 to 2025, plus beta plugins for Rhino, Revit, AutoCAD, Archicad, Blender and Cinema 4D, all downloaded from the site instead of a store.
- Content for search and learning: a documentation page for each of 25 modules and 26 video tutorials, including courses on AI visualization for villa projects.
- Google Analytics, Google Ads and Meta Pixel measure visits and ad campaigns, according to the privacy policy. Sentry records errors.

Who tried this before Archifruits, and why did they fail?
Four companies in the Loot Drop database tried to sell pictures of a future room or building, or the design work behind them, before image models could make a render in seconds. The values below are from that database and are not independently verified.
Modsy
The promiseUpload photos of a room and receive photorealistic 3D renders with furniture to buy.
Why it diedEach room needed 2 to 4 hours of human designer time, customers paid US$69 to US$199 per room, and paid social ads cost more than customers brought back.
Kujiale
The promiseDesign a home in 3D in the browser and render it as a photorealistic picture in minutes.
Why it diedConsumers made a few designs and left because they wanted experts to design for them, and AI image tools made its technology ordinary.
Laurel & Wolf
The promiseOnline interior design from professional designers for a flat fee.
Why it diedThe flat fees did not cover the cost of finding customers, and quality fell as the designer network grew.
Katerra
The promiseOne company for the whole building process, from architecture to factories to construction.
Why it diedIt built factories and bought companies before it had enough customers, and the losses grew faster than its investors would cover.
The failed startups come from Loot Drop, a free database of dead startups, retold here in our own words. Loot Drop describes its entries as AI-assisted summaries of public sources, so these cards carry no evidence grade.
What changed
Before image models, a picture of a design that did not exist needed people. Modsy sold 3D renders of customers' rooms but needed 2 to 4 hours of designer time per room, and closed after spending US$72.7 million. Kujiale raised US$550 million for browser 3D design with fast rendering, and its database entry says AI image tools made that technology ordinary. A visualization studio such as Blick3d sells renders project by project, with artists and render time.
By 2026, rented image models redraw a sketch or a SketchUp view as a realistic picture in seconds, and video models turn it into a short film. That removed the labor that sank Modsy, and it let one architect who runs a studio package the studio's jobs as self-service modules with no investors reported. What did not change is competition: the same models are open to every developer, and Archifruits' revenue fell after June 2026.
Can one person copy Archifruits now?
The pattern, yes. The moat, no.
Any developer can rent the same image and video models, and many AI render tools for architects already exist. What a copier cannot rent is the founder's knowledge of which jobs architecture clients pay for and what a correct render must keep: the geometry, the camera and the proportions. The falling revenue since June 2026 shows how hard it is to hold customers in this market.
Where it is still open: The same module approach fits neighbouring trades that sell pictures of things not yet built: landscape design, kitchen and bathroom showrooms, real-estate developers selling homes before construction. Tools that export editable files (CAD drawings, 3D models) rather than only pictures are also less crowded.
- 1Start from a trade you know, and list the paid jobs in it that a new model can now do in one step.
- 2Make one focused module per job instead of one general prompt box, and pick the best rented model for each.
- 3Put the tool inside the software the trade already uses, through plugins.
- 4Price in credits that follow model costs, with a low-priced trial plan that can be upgraded.
- 5Watch monthly revenue and recurring revenue separately when yearly plans are paid in advance.
What could go wrong for Archifruits?
The risks are the mirror image of the causes above.
Revenue is falling
Monthly revenue reached US$9,149 in June 2026 and has stayed between US$5,000 and US$5,900 since July. The last 30 days brought US$4,465, minus 30% against the 30 days before. The pace of October points to about US$4,430 for the month. No source gives a reason for the fall.
Yearly plans and the first renewals
Yearly plans cost US$599 and US$1,599 and are paid in advance, so the early months include whole years of revenue. The first yearly plans, bought from late November 2025, come up for renewal from late November 2026. How many renew will show whether the US$4,754 of MRR holds.
Who does the work
TrustMRR names one founder, and no other person is tied to Archifruits in the sources. The product is operated by Blick3d, Inc., the company of the founder's visualization studio, which describes "A team of architects and artists". How many people work on Archifruits is not stated.
Dependence on rented models
Every module calls a model made by another company, such as Nano Banana, Kling, Seedance, Flux, GPT Image, Tripo or Hunyuan, through Replicate, fal.ai and Google. The plugins call no AI service themselves and the models are rented through official paid interfaces, but price changes or new limits from these providers change Archifruits' costs. TrustMRR's profit-margin snapshot, which is not among its verified sources, is 65%.
Numbers that do not agree
The Blick3d pages give "About 12 years of experience" on one page and "over 15 years" on another. TrustMRR gives the country as the US, while the privacy policy says the service is operated from the United States and Turkey. The twelve monthly revenue figures add up to US$448 less than the all-time total.
