Decato vs Foyr Neo for sourced interiors, not just rendered ones
Foyr Neo helps designers model, plan and render interiors. Decato focuses on the next bottleneck: taking a room concept into a buyable package with real products, fit checks and pricing logic tied to the room output.
Decato
Laid out and sourced in one pass, rather than modelled first and specified afterwards.
An all-in-one design tool built for interior professionals: draw the plan, furnish it from a large 3D library, and render it in 4K — in the browser, without CAD skills.
The same span on paper, one difference underneath. Decato furnishes rooms with real, purchasable products rather than 3D models, so the layout doubles as a specification you can order from.
If the deliverable is the design and the render, Foyr Neo covers it and covers it well. If someone then has to turn that render into a purchase list, Decato skips that step because it was never separate.
What each one does
Plan, furnish and render in one tool
Large 3D model library for styling
Thousands of models, textures and materials
Drag-and-drop 3D editing
Runs in a browser
Decato is a Mac app
Runs on Windows
Furniture is real, purchasable product
Library models are geometry, not catalogue items
Prices, sizes and stock attached to each piece
Specification you can order from
Spec rows stay clickable in the exported PDF
A client opens the file and buys from it
Budget tracked as the room is furnished
The same room, through both tools
A 26 m² living room, warm minimal, roughly a $6,000 furniture budget. Same brief on both sides — the inputs differ, and that turns out to be the whole story.
What do you start with?
A floor plan — drawn in the app or imported as a photo of a drawing.
A floor plan you draw in the browser, or import and trace.
Where does the furniture come from?
A retailer catalogue. Each piece is an item with a price, real dimensions and a stock status.
A 3D library — thousands of models, and larger and better for styling than anything Decato offers. They are geometry, not products.
Does it fit?
Checked against the plan, using the product’s real catalogue dimensions rather than a model’s.
The scene is 3D, so gross collisions are visible. What the model represents may not match anything you can actually buy.
What comes out?
A render plus a specification: product, size, price, stock, subtotals by room, remainder against budget.
4K renders and 3D floor plans, quickly. Sourcing the real equivalents happens afterwards, by hand.
What does the client get?
A deck built from the same project — brief, plan, spec and renders — exported as PDF, where each spec row still opens the product page.
Renders and plans to assemble into a presentation yourself.
The whole job, no mockups
Screen recordings of the Mac app on one apartment — a photographed floor plan in, then a furnished layout, a sourced spec, renders and a client PDF out. Nothing here is a rendering of the interface; it is the interface.
The furniture is a catalogue item
Product, size in centimetres, unit price, line total, stock — subtotalled by room and measured against the budget. A library model has none of these.
The render is made from those products
Same plan, same pieces already in the spec — so what the client approves is what gets ordered, with nothing re-sourced in between.
Neither tool wins everywhere
Foyr Neo does things Decato cannot do at all. Knowing exactly where the line falls is more useful than being told one tool is better.
- Furniture is a catalogue item, so the layout is already a purchase list
- Fit is checked against real product dimensions, not a model’s proportions
- Budget is tracked while the room is furnished, not reconciled afterwards
- The client deck comes out of the same project as the plan
- A far larger 3D library — thousands of models, textures and materials Decato has no equivalent for
- Direct drag-and-drop 3D editing, where Decato asks an agent to do it
- Runs in any browser, and on Windows, where Decato does not run at all
- Mature 4K rendering with a long track record among working designers
- A 14-day trial with no card, against a Mac download and a subscription for sourcing
Find your week in one of these
The right answer changes with what is on your desk, not with which company you are reading about.
A designer on Windows
No Mac in the studio, and the work still has to get done today.
Decato does not run on Windows at all. Nothing else about the comparison matters until that changes.
A studio whose bottleneck is the purchase list
Renders are already fine; two days a project go into finding, pricing and checking the actual products.
That step is not a separate step in Decato — the furniture in the layout is the furniture in the spec.
A designer styling a concept for a pitch
Nothing is being bought yet; the job is to show a look convincingly.
A bigger model library and hands-on 3D editing win when the output is the image and sourcing comes later — or never.
If you move across
Decato is a Mac app, and it starts from a plan rather than a photo. That changes what is worth bringing with you.
- Floor plans exported as an image — Decato reads them and redraws the room to scale
- Your brief, style direction and budget
- Scenes and 3D models. There is no import path, and no equivalent library on our side
- Custom materials and textures you have built up
- Windows and browser access — Decato is a Mac app only
Compare Decato against the next closest workflow.
If this page is close but not exact, use the routes below to compare Decato against staging-first, retail-first and render-first alternatives with the same decision lens.
Decato vs REimagineHome
Both source real furniture. REimagineHome fits it to a photo; Decato fits it to a dimensioned plan.
Staging-firstDecato vs Virtual Staging AI
Staging sells the photo. Decato specifies the room — real products, measured fit, a priced spec.
Service-outputDecato vs BoxBrownie
BoxBrownie sells edited images per job. Decato sources a room into a priced specification.
Retail-workflowDecato vs Wayfair
Wayfair plans your room and fills its own cart. Decato checks the fit and hands over a spec.
Most comparison tools judge the screenshot. Designers still have to deliver the room.
Decato is optimized for the step after concept approval: matching real products, checking fit, keeping the room inside budget and turning the output into a defendable package instead of a render to reverse-engineer.
Common questions
How does Decato compare to Foyr Neo?
Foyr Neo is strong for creating the room visually. Decato is stronger for carrying that room into the sourcing and specification phase: real products, measured fit, budget alignment and a client-ready package.
Should a studio use Decato or Foyr Neo?
If the pain is mainly room design and rendering, Foyr Neo may be the closer fit. If the pain is what happens after approval — sourcing, fit checks and building a room spec from real products — Decato is the sharper tool.
How much does Foyr Neo cost?
Foyr Neo is a subscription with a 14-day trial that does not ask for a card. We are not quoting tier prices here: third-party listings disagree with each other, and we have not been able to read the figures off Foyr’s own pricing page — so anything we printed would be a number we had not verified. Decato is a free Mac download; sourcing and renders start at $20 a month, and the dearer plans add render volume only. (Checked August 2026.)
Does Foyr Neo source real products and check budget?
Sourcing and budget are not its center. Decato embeds real-product matching, fit validation and budget tracking, and renders from the sourced furniture into a deck.
What is the best Foyr Neo alternative for sourcing after rendering?
Decato, which closes the gap after the render: real products, fit, budget and a client-ready deck.
