At a glance
Credits and photos are not always the same thing: some tools charge credits per generation or per image type, so compare what one finished listing photo costs you.

Where each tool is strongest
- Virtual Staging HQ: declutter, empty room and furnish in one tool, free re-rolls of the same photo, the "Virtually staged" label on by default, and a $9 one-time pack for single listings.
- Virtual Staging AI: fast turnaround (about 10 seconds), image storage on paid plans and API access on its top plan.
- REimagineHome: the lowest price per credit at volume, batch processing for listings, and design features that go beyond staging.
- Collov AI: unlimited regeneration, extras like video on higher tiers, and about $0.24 per photo on its largest plan.
How to choose
- Selling one home: pick a tool with a one-time option or a real free trial.
- Listing every month: compare the price per finished photo on the plan you will actually use.
- Occupied homes: check that decluttering is included, not only furnishing empty rooms.
- Compliance: make sure the tool never changes walls, windows or floors, and that you can label staged photos and keep the original.
