Does it fit existing exports?
Look for a workflow that can use the image exports your designers already create.

What to Look For in AI Kitchen Rendering Software
The best tool for a kitchen showroom is not just the one that makes the most dramatic image. It should fit the team's design process, review standards, commercial model, and client presentation workflow. ARQ includes rendering, material and presentation tools, automatic comparison and whole-team access on every paid plan; choose the render allowance your business needs.
Key questions to ask
Does it preserve design intent?
The tool should help reviewers catch layout, cabinet, material, and camera drift.
Does it support teams?
Multi-designer showrooms need seats, shared rooms, review state, and usage controls.
Is pricing predictable?
Check the included render allowance, spend controls, plan-change path, and whether key workflow features are included.
Can you review before sharing?
Approval should be visible before a render becomes a client-facing asset.
Can you test with real work?
A 14-day free trial with real design exports is more useful than a generic demo image.
ARQ's answer to the checklist
ARQ is built for after-design render production: export images in, ARQ handles rendering and automatic design comparison, then approved results are organised by client room.
- Windows desktop workflow for designers.
- Render queues and watch folders for batch work.
- Automatic design comparison and approval boards.
- Simple public plans based only on monthly render quantity, with no per-designer fees or feature gating.
