Solibri vs Revizto

Two established BIM quality tools that start from different jobs. Solibri is a rule-based model checker: it validates geometry, data and classification against rules and runs clash detection as one kind of rule, with an AI-powered Assistant in Beta on its Premium tier. Revizto is a 2D/3D collaboration workspace where clash automation, issue tracking and drawing review sit together, with an MCP Server that lets a customer's own AI tool read and update project data. Vendor pages read Oct 22, 2026; desk research, not tested, no winner.

What it doesRule-based BIM model checking, clash detection and coordination issue management from Solibri, a Nemetschek company. Read Oct 18, 2026: Solibri says it applies structured rule-based validation so geometry, data and classification are verified before execution, and that its clash detection is rule-based rather than only geometry intersection: teams choose which disciplines and elements to compare, set clearance zones and tolerances, exclude acceptable intersections, group clashes by system, location or responsibility, and rerun checks automatically on new model versions. Tiers: Starter (IFC federation and visual inspection), Essential (IFC and native Revit federation, predefined rules, clash detection workflows, BCF issue management and CDE integrations), Advanced (custom rules, clash matrix control, IDS data validation, QTO/ITO, Autorun automation, WebChecker), Premium (point cloud checking, company extensions, Superrun automation and an AI-powered Assistant) and Security+ (fully offline, air-gapped deployment with no telemetry). The AI-powered Assistant is listed as Beta and Premium-only, in desktop release 26.6.0: it answers natural-language questions about rule setup, queries the open model and current results, and helps work through issues; Solibri says it only gets access to the open model and session with explicit permission and does not access external data or browse the internet. Re-read Oct 19, 2026: tiers and the Beta, Premium-only AI-powered Assistant are unchanged; the assistant page adds that Premium customers turn it on by accepting the software update notification in their Solibri environment. Re-checked Oct 21, 2026: solibri.com is back up after the scheduled-maintenance page seen in earlier Oct 21 reads; the homepage, tiers (Starter, Essential, Advanced, Premium, Security+) and the AI-powered Assistant page are unchanged in substance (Beta, Premium-only, desktop release 26.6.0, access to the open model only with explicit permission, no internet access). Its EUR 400K savings case-study figure is a vendor claim not used here. Re-checked Oct 22, 2026: tiers and the AI-powered Assistant (Beta, Premium-only) unchanged in substance; the site header now promotes BIM validation for hyperscale and data center construction.AECO 2D/3D collaboration platform for delivering complex projects (vendor description), with a new Draft Mode for faster reviews. It is listed on the Groundbreak exhibitor page under the company name 3DreamTeam Inc. Vendor states 1000+ customers and 80K+ projects (vendor claims). Re-read Oct 18, 2026: its Collaborative Clash Automation page describes scheduled clash tests, model imports and issue syncs run overnight or from a central machine; checks for intersecting objects, clearance issues, duplicates and required or missing elements; automatic clash grouping that consolidates related clashes into one issue; and automatic issue creation from clash groups with conditional templates that assign trades, priorities and tags. Release 5.18 adds Draft Mode, which keeps new 2D markups and 2D or 3D issues as drafts until published. An MCP Server page says customers can connect Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot or a private LLM to query live project data, flag missing or non-compliant properties and summarize or triage open issues, with inference on the customer's own infrastructure; Revizto itself does not describe a built-in AI model, so it stays tagged Not AI-first here. Re-read Oct 19, 2026: current release is still 5.18 (Draft Mode); the product menu now lists the Revizto API alongside the MCP Server, the homepage cites 100+ plugins, formats, partners and CDE integrations, and the pricing page says every tier has all features with no premium modules and free Revizto Academy training. Re-checked Oct 21, 2026: current release still 5.18 (Draft Mode), which also lists a Custom Property CSV export/import round trip (beta), sheet numbers, titles and revisions aligned with Revit, and drawing comparison at different scales. The MCP Server FAQ says the connected AI can read issues, clashes and project data and add comments or update issues within the signed-in user's permissions (Revizto advises keeping write actions review-based), that regional endpoints follow where project data is hosted, and that the server comes at no additional cost to Revizto customers. Still no built-in AI model described, so the Not AI-first tag stands; customer counters and rework percentages are not used. Re-checked Oct 22, 2026: current release still 5.18 (Draft Mode); MCP Server page unchanged in substance.

Where the vendor descriptions differ

  • Core job: Solibri describes structured, rule-based validation so model geometry, data and classification are checked before execution, with clash detection where teams choose disciplines and elements, set clearance zones and tolerances, exclude acceptable intersections and rerun on new versions. Revizto describes one workspace for 2D drawings and 3D models with issues pinned to their spatial location, plus Collaborative Clash Automation with scheduled clash tests, automatic clash grouping and issue creation from clash groups with templates that assign trades, priorities and tags.
  • AI: Solibri lists an AI-powered Assistant in Beta, Premium only, that answers natural-language questions about rule setup, queries the open model and current results and helps work through issues; Solibri says it reaches the open model only with explicit permission and does not browse the internet. Revizto describes no built-in AI model; its MCP Server connects Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot or a private LLM to live project data within the signed-in user's permissions, at no extra cost to customers.
  • Drawings and review: Revizto 5.18 adds Draft Mode (markups and issues kept as drafts until published), Revit-aligned sheet numbers and revisions, and drawing comparison at different scales. Solibri's tiers centre on model checking: IFC and native Revit federation, custom rules, IDS data validation, quantity take-off, and point cloud checking on Premium.
  • Deployment: Solibri offers a Security+ tier for fully offline, air-gapped use with no telemetry. Revizto describes enterprise-grade security and localized hosting, with MCP regional endpoints that follow where project data is hosted.
  • Pricing (checked Oct 22, 2026): Solibri publishes starting prices per license per year: Starter from EUR 99, Essential from EUR 1,428, Advanced from EUR 2,109 (1,750 tokens), Premium from EUR 2,772 (17,500 tokens), with prepaid token packages for outcome-based automation (5,000 for $250 up to 25,000 for $750). Revizto publishes no prices; it licenses per user, per project with unlimited users, or Enterprise, all through a quote, and says every tier has all features.
  • AI tags: Solibri is tagged AI features added to an established product; Revizto is tagged Not AI-first because it describes no built-in AI model.
  • Not used here: both vendors' customer counts, savings figures and customer quotes (vendor material). Neither tool has been tested by Means & Methods Lab.
