Short answer
The lowest price per photo is MeltFlex at $0.21 (Standard (monthly), €19/month), but our alignment failed on its room 01 output, so its fidelity not comparable. The cheapest tool that kept the frame on room 01 is Roomagen at $0.40 (drift 15.3), then Collov AI at $0.45 (drift 11.0).

Yearly billing is cheaper for some tools: Pedra (Annual: EUR 239/yr for 1,200 credits (about EUR 0.20/photo)), Collov AI (Yearly billing: $0.32/photo (Standard) and $0.33 (Advanced)), AI HomeDesign (Yearly billing: $0.63 (Pro) and $0.36 (Pro Plus) per photo) and virtualstaging.ai (Unlimited plan $39/mo (fair use, own listings only) sits between Starter and Studio; yearly billing advertises 40% off.). No per-photo price published: Trolto, ChatGPT (baseline) and Gemini (baseline).
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.).
