Best virtual staging software for empty rooms

Short answer

On room 01, Collov AI had the lowest drift with the frame kept (11.0). Across several rooms: Collov AI 5 rooms, drift 11.0 to 24.1 on aligned rooms; Roomagen 2 rooms, drift 15.3 to 34.6 on aligned rooms; Pedra 6 rooms, drift 21.3 to 33.5 on aligned rooms. One good room does not guarantee the next, so test a few of your own photos on the free tier.

5 rooms tested

Collov AI

framing pass on 4 of 5

$0.45/photo. Framing passes. Removed the desk and book piles (clutter, allowed) and also furnished the room seen through the doorway.

2 rooms tested

Roomagen

framing pass on 2 of 2

$0.40/photo.

6 rooms tested

Pedra

framing pass on 4 of 6

$0.33/photo. Pedra flagged this photo as a 360 image; we kept it flat. Alignment failed (14 inlier matches, 25 needed; a looser diagnostic also fails), so framing is unknown and drift (28.8) is unaligned. By eye the skylights and pillars sit where they are in the original.

Architecture drift per room

Lower is better. Rooms where our alignment failed are shown as not comparable. Rooms: 01 open-plan kitchen/living, 02 room with doorway, 03 small room with passage and desk, 04 attic with odd windows, 05 bay window with fireplace, 06 bedroom with single window.

Only stages empty rooms: TINTY (Stages empty rooms only; no kitchens, bathrooms or exteriors.). Not yet tested but listing empty-room staging: BoxBrownie, Styldod, roOomy, Stuccco, PhotoUp, Homai, ImmoStage, VirtualStagingFlow, AI HomeDesign and Trolto.

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.).
