FRILO

Subscription Engineer & Analyze

Structural analysis and design suite focused on component-level concrete, steel, timber, masonry, foundation, and geotechnical checks, sold as modular editions with public pricing and trial access.

Made by Nemetschek Group, public (NEM, $7.4B)

3.2 /5 composite score

Solid -- FRILO is one of the more transparent structural suites in this segment, with edition pricing starting at EUR 244/month and a free trial, plus a broad catalog of everyday structural and foundation modules, but it is still a desktop engineer tool rather than an automatable platform.
