WeRetouche › Tool comparison

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.

Where these numbers come from. We publish WeRetouche, so this comparison isn't neutral and you're right to read it carefully. We set one rule: quote only what each vendor publishes on its own pages, and say plainly what we could not verify. Everything below was checked on September 27, 2026. Pricing changes — confirm before you buy.

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.

BoxBrownie, as it publishes it. Per-image, explicitly "no subscription". On the European version of the site, checked September 27, 2026: image enhancement €2, virtual staging €30 per image, day-to-dusk €5, item removal €5–€10, virtual renovation €30–€220, floor plan redraws €30–€45, 360° tours €20–€30. Turnaround 24 hours, 48 for staging, with unlimited revisions. Amounts and currency depend on the region you browse from — the US site quotes dollars, and the two don't convert one-to-one.
Virtual Staging AI, as it publishes it. Subscription with a monthly photo cap. Checked September 27, 2026, on yearly billing: Basic $16/mo for 6 photos ($2.67 each), Standard $19 for 20 ($0.95), Professional $39 for 60 ($0.65), Enterprise $79 for 150 ($0.53). Stated: 10-second turnaround, no watermark, furniture removal included, cancel anytime. The page advertises "up to 50% off" on yearly billing, so month-to-month rates are higher.
What we could not verify. REimagineHome publishes its tiers and credit allowances — 30, 200, 400 and 900 credits per month, plus 5 free designs with no card — but the dollar amounts are loaded by script and weren't readable when we checked. We're not quoting a figure we couldn't confirm. Check their pricing page directly.

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 / yearWhat 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.

FAQ

How much does BoxBrownie cost?

Per image, no subscription. On the European site, checked September 27, 2026: €2 enhancement, €30 virtual staging, €5 day-to-dusk, €30–€220 virtual renovation. 24 h turnaround, 48 h for staging. Currency and amounts vary by region.

How much does Virtual Staging AI cost?

Subscription, yearly billing, checked September 27, 2026: $16/mo for 6 photos, $19 for 20, $39 for 60, $79 for 150. 10-second turnaround, furniture removal included.

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.
