Comparison
A documentation automation add-in for Revit: view and sheet creation, tagging, dimensioning and sheet packing, with bundles that chain several tasks together and an AI assistant layered on top.
Glyph is published by EvolveLAB (Chaos). Details below were checked on against the sources listed at the bottom of this page. Products change — verify anything you are about to make a decision on.
Subscription, in per-user (named) and shared (floating) forms. Published figures ran $97/month on a named monthly plan, $50/month on a named annual plan billed at $600/year, and $88.50/month for a floating licence billed at $1,062/year and shared between users rather than assigned to one; a student licence at $99/year for non-commercial use and a 15-day trial were also listed, with enterprise terms from 25 seats.

Glyph is the closest thing here to a direct competitor on documentation, and on some of it they go further. Combining several tasks into a bundle that runs as one click is a genuinely good idea that NexionTools does not have — our tools are individually run. Their tagging automation is also more developed than ours. The floating licence is worth noting too: it is shared rather than per-seat, so a team that uses the tool in bursts does not have to buy a seat each. If your firm's problem is specifically "turn a model into a sheet set", Glyph is built around that sentence.
Scope for the money. Both products are subscriptions, so this is annual plan against annual plan: NexionTools Professional is €490/year, or €49/month billed monthly, against Glyph's published named annual plan at $600/year. The currencies differ, so treat those as two published figures rather than a stated saving — but what sits behind them is not comparable. Glyph is a documentation tool; model health, QC scorecards, point-cloud comparison and parameter work are outside what it sets out to do, and they are a large part of the 52 tools here. And 12 of ours are free, so there is a way to evaluate the ribbon without a procurement conversation.
| Capability | NexionTools | Glyph |
|---|---|---|
| View and sheet creation | Per-room sheet sets, view governance across a matrix, legend placement. | Automated view and sheet creation from levels, scope boxes or categories. |
| Automated dimensioning | Facade dimensioning with configurable tiers, scope and face target. | Part of the documentation task set. |
| Automated tagging | Not a focus. | A core task, with AI-assisted placement. |
| Chaining tasks together | Not supported — tools run individually. | Bundles combine multiple tasks and run them with a single click. |
| Model health and QC | QC scorecard, warning triage, family and element growth analysis. | Outside its scope. |
| Licensing | Subscription — €490/year, or €49/month, per device. 12 free tools. | Subscription — named per-user plans, or a floating licence shared between users. |
If sheet-set production is the single biggest cost in your office, Glyph is built for that and its bundling is better than ours; if the tool gets used in bursts across a team, their shared floating licence is a sensible way to buy it. If your pain is spread across documentation, data and model health rather than concentrated in drawing production, the wider toolset is the better fit — and at €490/year it sits under their published $600/year named annual plan, though the two are quoted in different currencies, so compare the figures on the day.
