Image and video decision
ArchiRise
A competent developer can build a narrower self-hosted replacement (image enhancement + simple video moves) using open-source tools, but matching the product's polish, tuned architectural models, and commercial UX/support is costly.

Open-source builds that already do this
Every project below is open source and already does this job today. Fork one, self-host it, or take the parts you need - the build prompt further down assumes an empty file, and this is the shortcut past that. Licences differ; check the one on each card before you ship. All ArchiRise alternatives, with the arithmetic →
What a replacement has to do
- User uploads JPEG/PNG render or photo → server runs photorealistic enhancement and optional object/scene edits → optional automated video creation (camera moves, motion + music) → deliver processed image/video and consume a credit.
What it still won’t have
- Vendor-trained proprietary models and curated datasets used to tune architectural outputs
- UX polish and designer-quality presets for architecture-specific results
- Commercial support, priority SLAs and turnkey onboarding
- Potentially optimized inference infra and credit-management backend
What remains hard
- Execution quality
ArchiRise transforme vos rendus 3D et vos photos en visuels d'exception — pour que votre image reflète enfin votre niveau réel.

The verdict above measures whether you could build it. This one is only about money.
Runnable build prompt
Build a minimal self-hosted ArchiRise-like service using: React frontend, Node.js/Express API, Postgres for accounts/credits, Redis for jobs, and a GPU server running PyTorch with Hugging Face Diffusers for image enhancement and a simple frame-generation script for camera moves. Core features in scope: single-file upload, image photorealistic enhancement endpoint (1-credit), video-generation endpoint (multi-credit) producing 1080p MP4 with optional music, user signup/login, subscription/credit accounting (Stripe integration), per-user storage and download, basic UI controls (intensity, motion presets). Out of scope: training custom models, enterprise SSO, multi-region infra. Include error handling, background job retries, unit tests for API routes, and infra as Terraform scripts for a single GPU instance + managed Postgres.

- 3/3 assessment runs agreed+4
- Evidence score64
The base comes from the verdict. Everything under it is a check that either happened or did not, and each one is a fact frozen in this record rather than a judgement made at render time - so the same evidence always produces the same number.
