Renoscan

What Renoscan does

RénoScan is a Paris-based SaaS that turns user-uploaded property photos into itemized renovation cost estimates for the French market. The web application at renoscan.net uses AI image analysis (OpenAI as the primary model, Anthropic as fallback) to identify the age, condition, and nature of construction elements across 12 work categories and 47 sub-elements — plumbing, electricity, joinery, floors, paints, kitchen and bathroom equipment — and returns a department-adjusted price range with separate contractor and DIY totals, typically within three minutes from 5–15 smartphone photos. The platform is built on Supabase (database and encrypted photo storage), Vercel (hosting), and Stripe (payments and billing), with the architecture and GDPR posture explicitly disclosed on the site.

The product is offered in three tiers: a free plan (2 estimates/year, global price range only), a Starter plan at €19/month or €15/month annually (5 estimates/month, itemized breakdown, PDF export, material selection, and the Leboncoin Chrome extension), and a Pro plan at €29/month or €23/month annually (15 estimates/month, priority analysis, early-access features, and a DPE optimization diagnostic). Custom volume pricing is available for agencies, property traders, brokers, and diagnosticians, and an annual billing discount of 20% is standard.

RénoScan targets a hybrid audience: B2C homebuyers, landlords, and insurance claimants who need quick indicative estimates before purchase, between tenants, or to support claims, and B2B real estate professionals who require higher-volume estimation. Distribution is product-led through the freemium funnel, SEO-optimized city-level pricing pages (the Observatoire des Prix), and a Chrome extension that injects estimation directly into Leboncoin listings. The business is a sole proprietorship (entrepreneur individuel) founded and operated by Antoine Follain in Paris, with no disclosed external funding, no published revenue, and no enterprise customers named.

Core offering

RénoScan is a SaaS web application that generates indicative renovation cost estimates from user-uploaded property photos. The analysis engine identifies the age, condition, and nature of visible elements (flooring, walls, plumbing, electrical, carpentry, kitchen and bathroom fixtures) and returns a department-adjusted price range broken down by work category, with both contractor and DIY cost ranges. Estimates are downloadable as structured PDFs and delivered in approximately 3 minutes from 5–15 smartphone photos.

Product overview

RénoScan is a SaaS web application (accessible at renoscan.net) that generates indicative renovation cost estimates from user-uploaded property photos. The service is offered in three subscription tiers: a free Formule Gratuit (2 estimates/year with global ranges), a Starter plan (€19/month, 5 estimates/month with detailed per-category breakdowns, PDF export, material selection, Leboncoin Chrome extension), and a Pro plan (€29/month, 15 estimates/month with priority analysis, DPE optimization feature, and early feature access). The core platform powers three analysis modes — Rapide (quick overview), Détaillée (questionnaire-enhanced), and Travaux par pièce (room or damage-specific) — and adjusts all estimates by French department via geographic coefficients. An optional Chrome extension integrates with Leboncoin listings for automated estimate creation. A companion content resource (Observatoire des Prix) publishes public reference pricing data by city and work category.

Broad incumbents

• Houzz: Major home renovation platform offering photo-driven design inspiration, cost guides, and a professional directory. Operates a similar concept (visual content + cost estimation) at much larger scale and primarily in the US market.
• Angi (formerly Angie's List / HomeAdvisor): Large US home services marketplace with integrated cost guides and contractor matching. Represents the broad-incumbent vision: estimate cost, then connect with professionals — a model RénoScan could evolve toward in France.
• Bien'ici: Major French real estate portal backed by Crédit Mutuel and other large groups. Has the user base, data assets, and capital to integrate native renovation cost estimation, posing a competitive threat to RénoScan's French market position.
• Procore: Enterprise construction management platform with cost estimation, bidding, and project management modules. Represents the broad-incumbent enterprise software play in renovation/construction estimation, though targeting larger contractors.

Direct peers

• Hover: Converts smartphone photos into 3D models and measurements used for renovation and insurance estimation. Closest direct technical peer in terms of photo-to-estimation computer vision applied to property and renovation workflows.
• MagicPlan: Uses smartphone photos and LiDAR to generate floor plans and property measurements, with built-in cost estimation features for contractors and insurance. Same computer-vision-from-photos approach for property professionals.
• MeilleursAgents: France's leading online property valuation platform. Applies algorithmic estimation to residential real estate; comparable in deploying a French-specific data-driven estimation product, though focused on property value rather than renovation cost.
• Kukun: US-based renovation cost estimator that generates itemized estimates from property data inputs. Closely comparable product concept (itemized renovation estimation with downloadable reports) though operated in the US market.

Emerging players

• Renoworks: Renovation visualization and estimation software for contractors and remodelers. Comparable product positioning for B2B renovation professionals with visual + cost estimation capabilities.

Regional players

• Travaux.com: French home improvement marketplace and lead-generation platform connecting homeowners with contractors. Competes for the same French homeowner intent around renovation work, and could integrate estimation features directly.
