Our verdict on Rayon
Rayon is a browser-based design tool for architects, interior designers, and other built-environment professionals. It brings together 2D drafting, mood boards, images, textures, materials, color palettes, annotations, templates, libraries, presentations, and real-time multiplayer collaboration. Teams can import PDF, DWG, DXF, and image files, then share models or presentations through public links. Rayon is available on the web and as an installable desktop app for Windows and macOS.
The freemium structure provides a practical entry point, but the Free plan limits PDF and PNG export, access to Rayon libraries, and model history. It includes unlimited models and async support. Pro costs $27 per user per month with monthly billing or $21 per user per month with annual billing, adding full exports, full library access, unlimited model history, personal templates and libraries, model sharing, and 100 AI credits per week. Team costs $49 monthly or $38 with annual billing, adding team templates and libraries, team workspaces, team-level billing, live support, and 200 AI credits per week.
Rayon’s strongest distinction is its blend of mood boarding and CAD-oriented workflows. Its library includes 4,000+ CAD blocks and design assets, while import and export support covers PDF, DWG, DXF, PNG, and image files. Presentation mode, publishable presentations, comments, annotations, and external viewing support work that extends beyond a static inspiration board. AI-assisted image editing and visualization add another layer for concept development. Professional design teams that need structured materials, drafting, collaboration, and presentation tools should consider Rayon; teams seeking a lightweight mobile-first mood board app should choose an alternative.
