Our verdict on Archway

Archway is a web-based architecture diagramming platform for engineers, architects, and engineering teams. It generates cloud architecture, sequence, ERD, data-flow, flowchart, C4, and network diagrams from natural-language descriptions, GitHub repositories, and database schemas. Model-aware service and provider editing gives users a way to refine generated diagrams, while notes, embeds, exports, and version history support documentation workflows.

Pricing scales from a Free plan with 5 AI generations per month, 3 diagrams, all 7 diagram types, and PNG and SVG export. Pro costs $12 per month and adds 50 AI generations, unlimited diagrams, Markdown notes, embed codes, all export formats, version history, and a template library. Team costs $35 per user per month and adds 200 AI generations per user, real-time collaboration, team workspaces, admin controls, and everything in Pro. Team Pro costs $40 per user per month and adds 300 AI generations per user, audit logs, advanced permissions, dedicated onboarding, and a priority support SLA. Enterprise adds unlimited AI generations, SAML SSO, a self-hosted deployment option, consolidated invoicing, a custom SLA, and dedicated support.

Archway fits teams working across GitHub, AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, MongoDB Atlas, Vercel, and other listed integrations. Its REST API covers diagram creation, editing, generation, and export, while exports include Mermaid, PlantUML, D2, Draw.io XML, SVG, PNG, PDF, and Terraform HCL. Real-time collaboration uses CRDT synchronization. Developers and architecture teams should choose Archway when they need multiple diagram types, repository or schema parsing, and collaboration; simpler diagram needs may not justify its broader feature set or paid tiers.
