Virtual staging pricing: subscription vs per-image

Virtual staging pricing has two main models: per-image fees charged individually for each staged room, or monthly subscription plans that bundle credits for consistent production volume. For agents staging multiple listings per month, the difference in cost per room is significant.

Per-image vs subscription pricing

Per-image pricing charges $15–$30 per staged room. For a 4-room listing, that's $60–$120 per listing. There's no commitment, but the cost per room is high and adds up quickly for agents with consistent listing volume.

Subscription pricing charges a monthly fee for a bundle of credits. Homai's plans start at $49/month for 80 credits — at 2 credits per staging, that's 40 staged rooms per month. The cost per room drops to $1.23 at entry level and as low as $0.67 on the Pro plan.

For agents staging 4+ listings per month, subscription pricing is almost always more cost-effective than per-image fees.

AI staging vs physical staging costs

Physical house staging services charge $400–$1,000 per room — covering furniture hire, stylist time, delivery, setup, and removal. For a 4-room listing, that's $1,600–$4,000 per listing, plus scheduling delays that can add days to your campaign timeline.

AI virtual staging delivers the same marketing outcome — a fully furnished, lifestyle-ready listing photo — at a fraction of the cost:

• Physical staging: $400–$1,000 per room, plus site visit and scheduling
• Per-image AI staging: $15–$30 per room, no commitment
• Homai subscription: from $0.67–$1.23 per room at scale

Pricing FAQ

Do you offer a free trial?

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Subscriptions can be managed via the Stripe billing portal in your dashboard — cancel or change plans at any time. No lock-in contracts.

How does per-room pricing compare as volume increases?

At low volume (1–2 listings per month), per-image pricing may make sense if you want to avoid a monthly commitment. Above 4–5 listings per month — or for agencies with consistent volume — a subscription plan is significantly more cost-effective. The Starter plan at $49/month covers 40 stagings; if you're spending more than $49 on per-image fees, a subscription saves money from day one.
