Giraffe is a browser-based spatial platform for real estate development that layers GIS data, editable 3D massing, and spreadsheet-style feasibility on a map so portfolio and project teams can study sites and run scenarios in one place.
Teams use Giraffe to move early real estate decisions out of disconnected spreadsheets, desktop GIS, and slide decks and into a single web workspace. The vendor positions it as an orchestration layer for AI-driven real estate: you connect spatial layers and geometry, run apps and workflows, and automate repeated analysis steps. On Giraffe marketing pages, a Mortenson design-phase lead described rebuilding a check in Autodesk Revit to validate outputs, reporting results within about one percent while the Revit pass took roughly ten times longer for that comparison (Giraffe customer story on giraffe.build, 2026).
Self-serve Giraffe links to Esri map services, supports bring-your-own spatial data, and pairs map views with drawing and massing tools plus a visual scripting-style approach for configurators. A "spreadsheet on a map" model lets teams attach custom fields and formulas for yield, pro forma, or economics studies. Enterprise deployment adds SAML and OIDC SSO, granular project and folder permissions, audit-oriented logging, SLAs, and professional onboarding; the enterprise page states SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certification and mentions flexible data residency options (Giraffe Enterprise, giraffe.build, 2026).
Pricing is published for self-serve: an Individual plan at US$45 per user per month, and a Teams plan at US$1,500 per user per year for up to ten users with shared billing and libraries, as shown on the self-serve page (giraffe.build/self-serve, 2026). Enterprise is sold via sales contact. New accounts can start without a credit card to explore, per Giraffe pricing and signup copy.
Typical buyers include developers, asset owners, planners, architects in early phases, and public-sector teams that need repeatable site screening, master planning, and feasibility at portfolio scale rather than only one-off CAD production.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Runs in the browser with no install for core self-serve workflows
- Combines maps, 3D editing, and tabular feasibility in one environment
- Published list pricing for Individual and Teams self-serve tiers
- Enterprise tier documents SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 and SSO options
- Academy and community resources (Tower) for structured onboarding
Cons
- Not a BIM authoring or construction-grade detailing tool like full Revit production work
- Team plan pricing and caps require confirmation for your org on the live site
- Heavy reliance on cloud connectivity and vendor uptime for daily use
- Deep enterprise integration and bespoke datasets need sales-led scoping
Key features
Mapped feasibility: Run financial and yield logic with custom fields and formulas tied to parcels and scenarios on the map.
Spatial connections: Use Esri map servers, upload your own layers, or work from curated planning and market datasets offered by Giraffe.
3D massing and drawing: Sketch and iterate built form with tools aimed at early design and optioning, with metrics alongside geometry.
Workflow apps: Chain pre-built or custom apps for feasibility, due diligence, site analysis, and communications inside one platform.
Enterprise controls: SSO (SAML/OIDC), granular permissions, audit logs, and tailored rollout through Giraffe Enterprise programs.
Learning paths: Giraffe Academy lists cohort bootcamps and topical courses for multifamily, industrial site finding, and architect workflows.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Giraffe cost per month?
Giraffe publishes US$45 per user per month for the Individual self-serve plan. Teams lists US$1,500 per user per year for up to ten users on the self-serve page. Enterprise pricing is not listed publicly and goes through sales. Always confirm current numbers on giraffe.build before budgeting.
Is Giraffe free to try?
Marketing pages say you can sign up without a credit card to explore, and pricing describes cancel-anytime self-serve terms. Exact trial limits can change, so read the signup and plan pages at the time you register.
Does Giraffe replace Revit or BIM authoring?
Giraffe targets early real estate and planning decisions: maps, massing, feasibility, and workflows. It is not positioned as a full BIM production suite. Customer stories on Giraffe's site mention validating outputs in Revit, which implies teams still use BIM tools where they need detailed modeling.
Can Giraffe use Esri or my own GIS data?
The self-serve page states you can connect to Esri map servers, bring your own spatial data, or use built-in layers. Enterprise offerings add integrations and custom datasets through Giraffe's enterprise programs.
What security certifications does Giraffe claim for enterprise?
The enterprise page states SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certification, plus SSO via SAML and OIDC and flexible data residency options. Request Giraffe's security pack or DPA for your compliance review.
Who is Giraffe for compared with a general GIS product?
Giraffe focuses on real estate development and portfolio workflows: feasibility, site screening, massing, and governed decision workflows, not on every possible GIS use case. Teams choose it when they want real estate-specific apps and training rather than building everything from scratch in a generic GIS desktop.
