Houzz Pro manages your leads.
Alcovia closes them.
Houzz Pro is a solid lead generation tool. But when it comes time to actually show your client what their remodel will look like, you're on your own. Alcovia picks up where Houzz Pro stops — scan the room, design the remodel with AI, and present photorealistic renders on the spot.
Houzz Pro helps you find clients. Alcovia helps you win them.
Houzz Pro is built around lead generation and client communication. These are valuable tools for running a business. But Houzz Pro has no LiDAR scanning, no AI-powered design engine, no photorealistic rendering, and no material takeoff automation. When a homeowner asks "what will my new kitchen look like?" — Houzz Pro can't answer that question. Alcovia can.

Key advantages
What Alcovia does that Houzz Pro doesn't
AI-powered room redesign
Houzz Pro has no AI design engine. Alcovia lets you prompt changes to any surface, material, or fixture in the room and generates a photorealistic render in minutes.
LiDAR room scanning
Scan any room with your iPhone or Android. Alcovia creates a precise 3D spatial model from the scan — no third-party scanning app or expensive equipment required.
Photorealistic presentations
Generate client-ready PDF presentations with wide-angle renders, close-up details, and material breakdowns. Houzz Pro has no equivalent rendering capability.
Material takeoff & estimates
On the Growth plan, Alcovia generates full measurements, material takeoffs, and instant estimates using your custom price list. Close the deal in one visit.
Per-project pricing
No monthly subscription required. Pay $49 per Core project or $199 per Growth project. Your first project is free. Houzz Pro charges a recurring monthly fee.
One platform, not two
Instead of using Houzz Pro for leads and a separate tool for design, Alcovia handles the full workflow — from scan to signed contract — in a single app.
From a contractor who switched
"I was paying for Houzz Pro to get leads, but I still had to hire a designer to make renderings. With Alcovia, I scan the room, design it myself with AI, and show the client a photorealistic render before I leave the house. My close rate went from 40% to over 65%."
