What does virtual staging cost?

In this product, one staged room costs 2 credits — around 0.24 US dollars at the smallest credit pack, and less on a plan. Across the market, expect roughly $15 to $75 per image depending on whether a human retoucher is involved and how quickly you need it.

Physical staging, for comparison, runs to thousands per property: a consultation fee, delivery and collection, and monthly rental on the furniture for as long as the property sits. The gap is not marginal, and it is the entire reason virtual staging exists.

• A generation, not a subscription seat — 2 credits per staged room, and the same again only if you want another version.
• Variants of the same room, which cost per variant. Two takes of a living room is two generations, because it is two renders.
• Nothing for a failed render. Credits are reserved before the model is called and refunded on every path that does not deliver an image.

The Free plan includes 10 credits a month, which is 5 staged rooms before you decide whether any of this works for your listings. Full figures on the pricing page.

On the physical side:

• Rental runs monthly, so a slow sale is an open-ended bill on a property already underperforming.
• It has to be scheduled, which puts days between the decision and the listing going live.
• It stages one arrangement. Showing the same room as a study instead of a guest bedroom means moving real furniture.

On the virtual side:

• A bad source photograph costs you twice — once for the render, once for the reshoot. See the empty-room photography guide.
• Disclosure is not optional, and a label on the image is part of the deliverable rather than an afterthought.
• It furnishes a room; it does not clean one. Clutter has to be removed before staging, or the clutter gets staged.

At the top of the market, and at open houses. A buyer walking through an empty six-bedroom house is comparing it against staged competitors in person, and a photograph cannot do that work. Virtual staging sells the click; physical staging sells the visit. On most listings the click is the constraint, which is why the economics land where they do.
