Virtual staging places digital furniture into photos of empty or dated rooms. AI tools return images in seconds on credit-based subscriptions; human-edited services charge per image and take longer. Either way, staged photos must be disclosed.
Because virtual staging is a crowded category, new virtual staging tools are only considered after at least one year live, with legitimate independent reviews and proof of real customers. Existing staging listings are not affected.

MLS disclosure for virtually staged photos
Virtually staged photos are digitally altered images, and most MLSs have rules for them. Common requirements: label the photo as virtually staged in the photo description, and show the original, unstaged photo next to it.
In California, Business and Professions Code §10140.8 (added by AB 723, effective January 1, 2026) requires agents who advertise with a digitally altered image to put a disclosure on or next to the image and link to the original, unaltered image. Simple edits like lighting, color correction, straightening and cropping are excluded. CRMLS publishes its own guidance for listings.
Whatever tool you use, follow your own MLS's rules. This is general information, not legal advice.

How to choose
Buying checklist
- Disclosure: many MLSs require virtually staged photos to be labeled and may require the unstaged original.
- Cost per image at your monthly volume, not just the headline monthly price.
- Whether prices shown are yearly billing (several vendors advertise yearly-billed monthly rates).
- Whether furniture removal, revisions and watermark-free downloads are included.
Low volume (a few photos a month): pay per image with BoxBrownie, or start on a small AI plan such as Virtual Staging AI Basic or REimagineHome Essential. Every listing: per-image cost falls on larger AI plans; compare Virtual Staging AI Professional or Enterprise, Collov and REimagineHome at your monthly photo count. Teams and brokerages: look at the top tiers (REimagineHome Agency) and API access (Collov Enterprise, Virtual Staging AI Enterprise), and confirm seat terms with the vendor.
How we check prices
Prices were checked on each vendor's own pricing page and are dated. Rankings follow a published score: price value, features for agents, independent user feedback, terms and refund policy, and ease of sign-up or a free trial each get a 1–10 score, and the overall score is the plain average of the criteria we could score (for example 7.4/10). Hidden pricing or too few independent reviews show as Not enough info rather than a low score, and a tool needs at least 3 scored criteria to be ranked, with ties broken by starting price. Payment, affiliate links and sponsorships never change a score, ranking or verdict. If a vendor hides its pricing we say so rather than guess. Full method: agentaicompare.com/how-we-score/.

Frequently asked questions
How much does virtual staging cost per photo?
From the vendor pages we track: Virtual Staging AI states $0.53 to $2.67 per photo depending on plan (yearly billing); BoxBrownie, a human-edited service, charges US$24.00 per image. Credit-based tools like REimagineHome and Collov depend on how many credits each render uses. Palazzo charges a flat $50 per agent per month for unlimited staging (Starter), so its per-image cost falls the more you stage.
Is there free virtual staging software?
None of the tools we track offers unlimited free staging. Free ways to try: REimagineHome: 5 free designs for new users (Essential plan note). BoxBrownie: A free account includes 3 image enhancements and 1 day-to-dusk edit (not virtual staging). Palazzo: Free trial on the Starter plan, no credit card needed. Saleswise: Free plan with 3 staged images a month (plus 3 CMA replies and 3 flyer or social images), then $39/month for unlimited staging alongside CMAs, flyers and copy.
Do I have to disclose virtually staged photos?
Usually, yes. Many MLSs require virtually staged photos to be labeled and may require the unstaged original. In California, Business and Professions Code §10140.8 (added by AB 723, effective January 1, 2026) requires a disclosure on or next to a digitally altered image plus access to the original, unaltered image. Check your MLS rules.
AI virtual staging or a human-edited service?
AI tools (Virtual Staging AI, REimagineHome, Collov) return images in seconds on a monthly plan and suit agents staging every listing. BoxBrownie is human-edited and priced per image with no subscription, which suits occasional use or a flagship photo.
Which virtual staging tool is best for solo agents?
BoxBrownie: Pay per image with no subscription: staging $24/image, enhancement $1.60; the free trial includes 3 edits. REimagineHome: Essential or Pro; a free trial gives new users 5 designs first. Virtual Staging AI: Basic ($16/month billed yearly) covers 6 photos a month; Standard ($19/month) covers 20. Apply Design: Pay per image: $10, dropping to $7 when buying 20+ coins. Collov AI: Standard is $19/month billed yearly ($228/yr) for 60 photo credits; the free trial is watermarked. RoomGPT: General consumer redesign tool; prices only show after login, and AI-staged photos must follow your MLS disclosure rules. Palazzo: Starter suits agents who stage many rooms: a flat $50/month with no per-image fees. Stuccco: Pay as you go at $35/photo, or bundles from $28/photo.
Are the advertised monthly prices billed yearly?
Some are. Virtual Staging AI's and Collov's listed monthly rates are with yearly billing. Check the billing toggle on each vendor page; we note it in the tables above.
