Compare · Revit for Mac
Revit has never shipped for macOS. Autodesk’s supported route is Windows 11 running inside Parallels, on a Mac with 32 GB of memory and without accelerated graphics. Toras runs in your Mac’s browser instead: the site, the plan, the 3D model and the drawing set, with nothing to install.

A three-person studio, for one year
Revit alone at $3,005 per seat per year, before Parallels and Windows, against Toras Pro at today’s price. List prices, October 18, 2026.
01 / Mac
Toras runs in your Mac’s browser and draws with your Mac’s own graphics. No virtual machine, no second operating system, no partition to manage, and your projects open the same on any computer.
02 / Site
Type an address and Toras brings in the terrain, the neighbouring buildings, the roads and the sun path, ready to design against. With Revit on a Mac, that context comes from yet another Windows app.
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. Colleagues on Revit get an IFC file they can open.

For everything else, a browser tab is the fastest way to design on a Mac.
Four routes, and what each one costs you.
Autodesk’s Revit 2027 requirements list it: Windows 11 in Parallels on any Apple silicon Mac, 32 GB of memory, no accelerated graphics.
Autodesk still mentions it, but Boot Camp does not exist on Apple silicon Macs (M1 and later).
Revit runs natively on Windows 11, so some Mac studios keep one PC just for it.
Archicad and Vectorworks support Apple silicon Macs. Toras runs in the browser, with nothing to install.
Two full projects on the free plan, from the real site to the drawing set. No credit card, nothing to install.
Start freeNo. Autodesk says Revit does not have a native Macintosh version and supports running it in virtual machines such as Parallels Desktop.
Only on an Intel Mac. Apple silicon Macs (M1 and later) have no Boot Camp, so Parallels is the supported route.
Not natively either. The same Parallels setup applies.
Archicad and Vectorworks support Apple silicon. SketchUp Pro and AutoCAD have Mac versions. Toras runs in the browser on any Mac.
