Switching from TINTY: what to pick
- The frame changed. Roomagen kept it (drift 15.3, $0.40/photo) and Collov AI kept it (drift 11.0, $0.45/photo).
- You want fewer changes to the room. Collov AI (11.0) had clearly lower room 01 drift than TINTY (18.1) and kept the frame.
- The watermark gets in the way. Apply Design (1 free credit) and virtualstaging.ai (2 credits after email confirmation) gave us a free output with no watermark.
- It is too slow. REimagineHome (16 s) and Collov AI (18.6 s) vs about 30 s, frame kept.
- The price. Roomagen costs $0.40/photo (drift 15.3, frame kept) and Collov AI costs $0.45/photo (drift 11.0, frame kept) vs $2.25.
- You do not want a subscription. Apply Design (Apply Coins, up to 9, $10 one-time (per coin)).
- A feature TINTY does not list. furniture removal (declutter): Collov AI, Roomagen, Apply Design, Pedra and virtualstaging.ai; restyling a furnished room: Collov AI, Roomagen, REimagineHome and MeltFlex; day-to-dusk: Collov AI and Roomagen; sky replacement: Collov AI, Roomagen, REimagineHome and Pedra.

Why people look past TINTY
- It failed our framing check on room 01 (only 89.1% of the original frame visible), so the delivered photo is not the exact view you uploaded.
- It ranks 5 of 7 comparable tools on room 01 architecture drift (18.1; lower is better).
- The free output we got had a watermark (tiled).
- It costs $2.25 per photo on the cheapest paid option (Base, $9/month), 9 of 17 tools with a published per-photo price (1 = cheapest).

What our notes say about TINTY
- Room 01 (our test): Framing fails: the default crop frame returns a 3:2 image, so about 54 px are cut from the top and from the bottom (11% of the frame). Inside the visible area the architecture matches the original closely. Time is approximate (at most about 30 s).
- Pricing page: Listing pack $29 once for 10 photos ($2.90). TINTY Studio (human-finished): $10/photo, 2-24 h. Stages empty rooms only; no kitchens, bathrooms or exteriors.
- Refund: 30-day money-back guarantee on the first payment; renewals non-refundable
- Redo: Failed renders return to your balance
- Turnaround: Previews in about 30 s

Architecture drift runs from 0 to 100, lower is better (how much walls, windows and doors changed after aligning the output to the original). Differences of about 3 points or less are within measurement noise. Framing fails if the tool cropped, zoomed, shifted or rotated the photo beyond our thresholds. Editor realism ratings are one person's 1-5 ratings, not blind. Details: methodology. Partial results: 1 of 10 rooms scored for most tools (Collov AI also has rooms 02-05, Pedra rooms 02-06 and Roomagen room 02. The leaderboard still compares room 01 only.).
