VERDICT

Should I use Rayon?

The effortless CAD. AI-powered drawing for interior designers & architects. - rayon.design

Depends. Buy if you're a solo interior designer or small studio wanting fast, browser-based 2D drawing without AutoCAD's weight or price. Skip if you need BIM depth, strict CAD standards, or a mature product with a large review base.

Confidence

Medium. Based on ~20 public sources; many review snippets were truncated, so quotes and ratings are limited.
