WeRetouche, BoxBrownie, Virtual Staging AI: which one?
Four tools, one promise — better listing images — but four very different ways of charging you. Here's what each actually does, what it costs according to its own pricing page, and when a competitor is the better call. Including when it isn't us.
What each tool does
| Feature | WeRetouche | BoxBrownie | Virtual Staging AI | REimagineHome |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Photo enhancement / HDR | Yes | Yes | Listed in trial only | Yes |
| Virtual staging | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Empty a furnished room | Yes | Item removal | Furniture removal included | Yes |
| Object removal | Yes | Yes | Included | Yes |
| Video from photos | Yes | Not listed | Not listed | Not listed |
| Listing copy | Yes | Copywriting service | No | No |
| Floor plans | In development | Yes | No | No |
| 360° virtual tours | No | Yes | No | No |
| Turnaround | ~30 seconds | 24 h (48 h staging) | 10 seconds | Seconds |
Be clear about the trade-off. BoxBrownie is the most complete on the imaging side and it is human-edited, which is exactly why it takes 24 to 48 hours. It also offers floor plans and 360° tours, which we don't — our floor plans are still in development. If you need a person reviewing every frame, or you need tours and plans on every listing, BoxBrownie answers that better than we do.
Where we go further is outside the photo itself: video generated from your listing photos, and listing copy, inside the same app. On the pages we checked, none of the three others listed a video product.
How you pay — the real difference
| WeRetouche | BoxBrownie | Virtual Staging AI | REimagineHome | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Published pricing? | Yes | Yes | Yes | Tiers shown, amounts not readable |
| Subscription required? | No | No | Yes, monthly | Yes, monthly |
| Enhancement | €0.70–€1.13 / photo | €2 / image | — | Credit-based |
| Virtual staging | Same credit as a photo | €30 / image | $16–$79 / mo by volume | 30–900 credits / mo |
| To try it | 5 credits + unlimited free preview | 3 enhancements + 1 day-to-dusk | Trial inside a paid plan | 5 free designs, no card |
The volume math
This is the question nobody answers for you. Take virtual staging, where the gap is widest, and 30 staged photos in a year:
| 30 staged photos / year | What you pay |
|---|---|
| BoxBrownie (€30 / image) | €900 — human-edited, 48 h each |
| Virtual Staging AI (Standard, 20 photos/mo) | $228 for the year — 240 photos of capacity you won't use |
| WeRetouche (credits) | ~€29.99 — one pack of 30 credits, valid a year |
Now flip it. At 300 staged photos a year, Virtual Staging AI's Professional plan is $468 for 720 photos of capacity, roughly $0.65 each — below our €0.70 per credit, and we'd be the more expensive option. Subscriptions win on steady high volume; pay-as-you-go wins on irregular volume. That's the whole decision, and it doesn't depend on which brand you like.
Which one fits you
Choose BoxBrownie if…
- You want a human editor reviewing every image and you can wait 24–48 hours.
- You need floor plans or 360° tours on your listings.
- Your volume is low enough that per-image pricing stays comfortable.
Choose Virtual Staging AI if…
- You stage a lot, every month, predictably — the per-photo rate at the top tiers is hard to beat.
- Staging is basically all you need, and you don't mind a monthly commitment.
Choose WeRetouche if…
- Your volume is irregular — you don't pay in the months you don't list.
- You want editing, staging, video and listing copy in one place, not four subscriptions.
- You want to try it before talking to anyone, and see the price before committing.
- You work on your phone and on a computer.
The honest test is your own photos

What's the cheapest way to edit listing photos?
Depends on volume and whether you want a human in the loop. Below roughly 20 images a month, pay-as-you-go beats a subscription; above that, a subscription with a high cap usually wins.
Which of these makes video?
Of the four, only WeRetouche lists a video product. The other three didn't list one on the pages we checked.
Is this comparison objective?
It's written by the company behind WeRetouche, so no, not entirely. That's why we quote only vendors' own published pages, flag what we couldn't verify, and state the cases where they beat us.
