Architectural visualisation from your phone. Photograph a plan sketch and Monocular builds the 3D model, places it on the real site and renders it, all on the phone. Or turn a photo or model view into a photorealistic image or walkthrough video with your own AI keys. SKETCH TO MODEL, ON THIS PHONE • Photograph a hand-drawn plan: bold lines for walls, thin lines for glass, a dashed outline for upper floors that overhang • Write the storeys in each shape and one length beside an edge; Monocular reads it with Apple Vision and builds the model • Or open your own 3D model: DAE, GLB or OBJ from ArchiCAD, SketchUp, Revit and similar ON THE REAL SITE • Type the address: Apple Maps satellite ground out to 5.5 km • Real terrain and the hills around the site • The neighbouring buildings, with real heights where OpenStreetMap has them • The real sun at the time of day you choose; move and turn the model to sit it on its plot RENDER • Clay or Photoreal: a path-traced render of your exact geometry, nothing invented, on the phone • Optional AI stills (OpenAI) and walkthrough videos (Runway) with your own API keys, stored only in your phone's Keychain. You pay those providers directly; Monocular adds nothing on top. One purchase. No subscription, no account.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Monocular 1 at 100% against Invitation Maker's 15%. Monocular 1 also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). Invitation Maker's advantage is price (Free vs $0.99) and ratings volume (735 vs 1). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
