Giraffe is a cloud-based platform for AI-driven real estate site analysis, feasibility and master planning, positioned as an 'orchestration layer' that unifies fragmented site-analysis workflows -- spatial data, drawing tools, calculation engines and reporting -- into one repeatable decision system rather than one narrow point tool.
It counts real, named enterprise customers across developers, architects, contractors and even government, including Trammell Crow Company, Lendlease, HKS, Mortenson, the NSW Government, and Summit Real Estate Group, with testimonials citing reductions in site-assessment time from weeks to hours or days. Four built-in apps ship with every subscription: Paper (client-ready drawing sets straight off the live model), Squeeze (live unit-mix and yield testing), Spatial Toolkit (site filtering and portfolio screening without a dedicated GIS team), and Trees (planting and landscape design for planning submissions).
Contrary to being an enterprise-only, quote-based product, Giraffe has a genuine self-serve Core plan published at $45/month with no contract, alongside a per-seat Teams tier ($1,500/user/year) and custom Enterprise deployments that add APIs, SDK access and enterprise-grade security.
The Core tier is usable immediately for basic site analysis, drawing and calculation. The visual scripting language and custom spatial-layer features take longer to master, though hundreds of tutorial videos and an active community forum support the ramp-up.

Pros
Real self-serve entry pointThe Core plan is $45/month, no contract, cancel anytime -- not the enterprise-only product it might appear to be.
Strong, named enterprise customer baseTrammell Crow, Lendlease, HKS and Mortenson are among the specific, credible testimonials on Giraffe's own site.
Four purpose-built apps includedPaper, Squeeze, Spatial Toolkit and Trees each address a distinct, real job rather than one generic feature set.
Visual scripting for custom configuratorsTeams can build their own product configurators and custom logic on top of the core platform.
Bring-your-own spatial dataConnects to Esri map servers and lets users layer in their own data alongside built-in layers.
Cons
Full feature depth is Enterprise-onlyAPIs, SDK access and enterprise-grade security require an Enterprise deployment, not the Core self-serve tier.
Positioned as a broader decision systemBeing more than a narrow single-purpose tool means more setup investment before the full value becomes clear.
GIS/spatial-data literacy helpsGetting full value from custom layers and scripting benefits from some spatial-data familiarity, even with Spatial Toolkit built to reduce that dependency.
Steep jump from Core to TeamsTeam pricing ($1,500/user/year) is a significant increase over the $45/month Core self-serve tier.

Best For
Developers and asset owners doing repeated site feasibilityEspecially valuable across a portfolio of sites rather than a single one-off project.
Architecture and planning firms replacing ad-hoc GIS workflowsConsolidates spreadsheet-and-GIS-consultant workflows into one connected system.
Teams needing fast client-ready drawings and yield answersPaper and Squeeze specifically target these recurring, time-consuming tasks.
Consider Alternatives If
You only need single-site feasibility, not portfolio-scale analysisTestFit or Autodesk Forma may be simpler for a one-off feasibility study.
You don't need custom spatial-data or scripting depthA narrower, more prescriptive feasibility tool may onboard faster for simple cases.
You need enterprise features from day oneBudget directly for the Teams or Enterprise tier rather than starting on Core.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Giraffe self-serve or enterprise-only?
Both -- the Core plan is self-serve at $45/month with no contract, while Teams and Enterprise tiers are quote-based for larger organizations.
What apps come included with Giraffe?
Paper (drawing sets), Squeeze (yield/unit-mix testing), Spatial Toolkit (site filtering) and Trees (landscape design) ship with every subscription.
Does Giraffe replace Revit for site design?
No -- one customer testimonial describes rebuilding a model in Revit specifically to validate Giraffe's output, suggesting a complementary early-stage role rather than a Revit replacement.
Can I bring my own spatial data into Giraffe?
Yes, including connecting to Esri map servers alongside Giraffe's built-in data layers.
