Where it wins
- Parametric massing and floor-plan creation from building forms
- Real-time multiplayer editing with contextual project comments

Where it doesn't
- Web-only, cloud deployment excludes desktop application access
- Revit export is available only on paid plans
- Focuses on early-stage building design and feasibility workflows

Our verdict on Arcol

Arcol is a browser-based building design and feasibility platform for architects, developers, general contractors, and owners. It is aimed at early-stage work, combining parametric massing with floor-plan creation, live site and building metrics, and project cost and feasibility analysis. A shared project supports multiplayer editing and contextual comments, while Boards bring model views, metrics, and sheet sets into shareable, automatically updating collections. The result suits small teams that need to test design options together before committing to more detailed delivery workflows.

Arcol follows freemium pricing. A free plan is available, and the Solo plan is labeled for personal projects. Team - Monthly costs $100 per user per month, billed monthly, and adds unlimited collaborators, live updating metrics, advanced 3D modeling tools, and Revit export. Team - Annual lists those same highlights. The standout workflow is the link between geometry and evaluation: changing a mass can feed live metrics and feasibility analysis, giving collaborators a common view of design, yield, and cost signals. Revit export on paid plans provides a handoff path for teams working with that platform.

Arcol's browser-only, cloud deployment keeps access centered on the web, so teams seeking a desktop application may need an alternative. Its documented support channel is email, which may not fit organizations expecting broader service options. The product is deliberately centered on building design and early-stage workflows; firms needing a wider downstream production, documentation, or lifecycle suite should compare other architecture systems. Choose Arcol for fast collaborative feasibility studies and shared model review; look elsewhere when desktop coverage or broader workflow depth is a priority.
