ArchiLU - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

ArchiLU helps organizations document how they work, understand what a change will affect and keep architecture decisions connected to their implementation. It combines enterprise architecture management, business architecture, application portfolio management and process costing in a shared repository maintained by the people responsible for its contents.

Instead of keeping business knowledge in separate spreadsheets, wikis and diagrams, teams connect strategy, value streams, capabilities, processes, activities, roles, applications, data, technologies and suppliers. Each role has its own view: executives follow decisions, architects develop the model, CIOs review portfolios, application owners maintain records, and risk and audit teams examine evidence within their access rights.

ArchiLU supports six practical workflows:

1. Maintain the architecture repository: assign owners, document processes, connect capabilities to value-stream stages, and compare the current architecture with target states and dated roadmaps.

2. Move from demand to decision: qualify requests, prepare Architecture Definition Documents (ADDs), collect answers from responsible people, and preserve versioned board decisions and their rationale. Export documents in Word or PDF.

3. Review ICT dependencies: trace critical or important functions through applications, providers and contracts for DORA-related documentation, exposure analysis and audit preparation.

4. Rationalize the application portfolio: combine TIME classification, user feedback, technology support dates, contracts and dependencies to prepare investment, migration or retirement decisions. Record estimated and observed savings separately.

5. Understand process costs: calculate costs from activities, execution frequency, role participation and hourly rates, and examine IT costs by application and capability. Incomplete inputs remain explicit.

6. Collaborate with AI under existing authority: connect MCP-compatible assistants that use the person's permissions. AI contributions and changes remain traceable, with restrictions by person, role or domain and approvals governed by the organization's rules.

Spreadsheet import and a read-only ServiceNow CMDB connector bring existing inventories into the architecture context. Model and document exports help teams reuse their work. Guided workflows and contextual help support contributions from business owners as well as architects.

The four offers are Business Architecture, APM & Risk, Enterprise Architecture, and Enterprise Cost Management (ABC/CBC). Subscriptions are annual and per organization, with unlimited users, a dedicated EU-hosted instance and a free one-month trial. There is no free plan. Deployment on customer infrastructure is available as a separate service. The application supports French, English and German; the public website also provides Luxembourgish content.

ArchiLU is developed in Luxembourg for organizations in banking, insurance, public administration, industry and services.
