Compare · Revit alternative
Revit was built for large teams coordinating architecture, structure and MEP in one model. Most small practices pay for that machinery and use a fraction of it. Toras gives you the parts you use every day — the site, the plan, the 3D model and the drawing set — in a browser tab, from day one.

A three-person studio, for one year
Revit at $3,005 per seat per year, against Toras Pro at today’s price. List prices, October 18, 2026.
01 / Site
Type an address and Toras brings in the terrain, the neighbouring buildings, the roads and the sun path, ready to design against. In Revit, real-world context means a separate Forma Site Design project or a survey import.
02 / Model
Walls, doors and windows go down in 2D and stand up in 3D as you draw, with roofs, stairs and every floor in step. No families to load and no template to set up before the first line.
03 / Document
Plans, sections, elevations and door and window schedules sit on sheets and update the moment the design changes. Export PDF sets for the client and DXF or IFC for consultants. Consultants who live in Revit get an IFC file they can open.

Plenty of small firms keep one Revit seat for those jobs and do everything else in Toras.
Toras speaks the two formats Revit exports best, so nothing you have is stranded.
Export IFC from Revit and open it in Toras as a reference to design around.
Revit’s DXF exports drop straight into the Toras plan.
Hand consultants who stay on Revit an IFC or DXF of your design.
Two full projects on the free plan, from the real site to the drawing set. No credit card, nothing to install.
Start freeToras models walls, slabs, roofs, stairs, doors and windows as real building elements, and the drawings update with the design. It is built for architectural design and documentation; for multi-discipline coordination with structure and MEP in one model, Revit is the tool.
Export IFC from Revit and import it into Toras. RVT is Autodesk’s own format and only opens in Revit.
Revit is $380 a month or $3,005 a year per user. Revit LT, the lighter version, is $70 a month or $560 a year. Students and educators get Revit free.
Not natively. Autodesk supports Windows 11 inside Parallels Desktop on a Mac, without accelerated graphics. See Revit for Mac for every option.
