ARQR360 vs Sayduck: Which AR Route Fits a Furniture Store in 2026

Picture a furniture store owner in Denver. She sells mid-century style sofas, oak tables, and armchairs from one shop and a website that ships across Colorado. One of her brand suppliers uses Sayduck for its 3D product pages, and the name keeps popping up in her own research. She opens Sayduck's website and wonders if it is meant for a store like hers. ARQR360 is the other name she keeps seeing.

This is the honest version.

What Sayduck is

Sayduck is a Finnish company that has been building 3D product visualization since 2012. It is well known in furniture and design circles. Its platform gives brands a 3D viewer that embeds on any website, so shoppers can spin a sofa and zoom into the fabric. For AR, the customer views the product at true size through the Sayduck app. Sayduck also runs a 3D creation service that builds the models for you.

The audience is design brands and manufacturers. Think companies that manage a catalogue of products and want the same 3D assets to work on the website, in the app, and in marketing. For a brand with product data and a digital team, that is a serious toolkit.

What ARQR360 is

ARQR360 is a done-for-you AR catalogue for independent furniture retailers. You send photos of your bestselling sofas and tables and your real listed dimensions. We build true-to-size AR (Augmented Reality) views from them and hand you links and QR codes that open each view in the customer's phone browser. No app, no platform to learn, no modelling team.

The audience is stores that sell finished pieces off the floor. You hold photos, not CAD files, and you want the customer on your product page to stop guessing about size. Try the live furniture demo on your own phone.

Price: platform plan plus model costs vs one public flat rate

Third-party software directories list Sayduck's platform plan starting around $99 a month, with a free version available. But the plan is not the whole bill. You need 3D models of every product first. Those come from Sayduck's 3D creation service, quoted per project, or from models you already own. A store with 60 pieces is looking at the monthly plan plus the creation bill. Ask for both numbers in writing before you compare.

ARQR360 publishes its price: $249 one-time setup and $29 a month. Every AR (Augmented Reality) view is built and hosted as part of it. No product cap, no per-view fee, no separate creation bill. Your first view is free.

Setup effort: a platform project vs sending photos

The Sayduck route is a project. You get your products made as 3D assets, through their creation service or your own. Then you publish the products in their platform, embed the viewer on your product pages, and point customers at the app for the AR view. For a brand with a catalogue team, that is a normal quarter of work. For a shop with four staff, it is a heavy lift.

The ARQR360 route is: send photos of your bestselling sofas and chairs, bestsellers first. About seven days later your AR views are live, as links on your product pages and QR codes you can put on floor tags. New pieces get built the same way when stock changes. Nothing to learn, nothing to maintain.

True-to-size accuracy

Both routes aim at the same thing: the sofa at its real dimensions in the buyer's room. Sayduck's whole pitch is accurate scale and realistic materials, rendered from the 3D assets. ARQR360 views are built to your exact listed dimensions, so an 84-inch sofa appears 84 inches wide on the customer's floor.

The honest difference is not rendering quality. It is what you pay and what you do to get there. For a store whose problem is customers guessing whether the sofa fits their wall, a true-to-size AR view that ships this month beats a perfect platform that ships next quarter.

Shopify reports that products with 3D or AR views convert about 94% better than products without. That is Shopify's own data, not ours. The mechanism is simple: shoppers who can see the true size hesitate less.

Who builds the models

This is the question that decides everything. On the Sayduck route, the 3D assets come first. Either you supply them, or you buy them from Sayduck's creation service. On the ARQR360 route, nobody on your side builds anything. You send photos, and we build the AR (Augmented Reality) views from your photos and your listed dimensions.

For a manufacturer or a brand with a catalogue and a budget, the creation service is a sensible part of a platform deal. For a retailer holding nothing but product photos, it is the whole project before anything earns a dollar.

Who each one fits

Sayduck makes sense if:

• You are a brand or manufacturer managing a product catalogue
• You want the same 3D assets to work across your website, app, and marketing
• You already have 3D assets, or you can fund their creation as a project
• You have someone to run the platform day to day

ARQR360 fits stores like yours if:

• You are an independent furniture retailer or showroom
• You sell finished pieces and hold no CAD files
• You use Shopify, WooCommerce, or a simple website
• You want shoppers to check size and fit in their own rooms, fast
• You need one public price with no separate creation bill
