FAQ

How much does VirtualStagingAI.app cost?

On 7 Oct 2026 its pricing page listed Basic at $25 a month for 6 photos, Standard $35 for 20, Professional $79 for 60 and Enterprise $139 for 150, or $16, $19, $39 and $79 a month billed yearly.

Are the AI outputs comparable?

Both use current diffusion models, and for routine rooms the results are comparable. The quickest test is the same photo in both: SofaBrain’s free credits and VirtualStagingAI.app’s free image make that easy.

Can I use both?

Sure, but most realtors standardize on one. VirtualStagingAI.app is the simpler pick for staging alone; SofaBrain is the better fit when the same plan should also cover listing videos and other photo edits.

Can the same SofaBrain plan make listing videos?

Yes. A listing video is 30 credits from the same balance and includes narration, captions, music, your brand kit, every export format, the unbranded MLS version, thumbnails and the listing page.

How each one works

Editorial comparison illustration: two AI-generated rooms side-by-side

VirtualStagingAI.app sells monthly photo allowances: Basic is $25 a month for 6 photos, Standard $35 for 20, Professional $79 for 60 and Enterprise $139 for 150, or $16, $19, $39 and $79 a month billed yearly. Every plan includes unlimited renders and downloads, furniture removal and no watermark, with a 10-second turnaround; Enterprise adds API access. You can stage one image free without signing up.

SofaBrain also sells monthly credits, but one balance covers more than staging: a staged photo or photo edit (day to dusk, decluttering, a new sky, wall paint) is 1 credit and a listing video is 30. Studio is $59/mo for 100 credits ($0.59 a photo), Pro $129 for 250 and Business $299 for 600. New accounts get 3 free credits with no credit card.

Speed

VirtualStagingAI.app advertises a 10-second turnaround on its pricing page (15 seconds on its home page). SofaBrain usually returns a staged photo in under a minute. Both are fast enough that speed rarely decides it.

MLS compliance

SofaBrain’s download options include a file with a disclosure label burned in and the original photo alongside; the label is a choice at download, not automatic. VirtualStagingAI.app says its staging leaves the room layout untouched and is MLS compliant, but its pricing page lists no disclosure label. Either way, apply the disclosure your MLS or state requires.
