Verdict
REimagineHome kept the room closer to the original on room 01: architecture drift 16.2 vs 27.1 (lower is better). On published prices Pedra is cheaper per staged photo: $0.33 vs $0.63 on the cheapest paid option. On the next tier up the order flips (REimagineHome $0.18 vs $0.28), so check how many photos you stage a month.
- cost per photo decides it: $0.33 vs $0.63 on the cheapest paid option (Pro Monthly, €29/month).
- you want to try it before creating an account (Yes).
- you need furniture removal (declutter), virtual renovation (wall and floor recolor), 360 or video output and an API: listed on Pedra's pages, not listed or not verified for REimagineHome.
- walls, windows and doors must stay as they are: lower room 01 drift (16.2 vs 27.1).
- the delivered photo must keep your exact camera frame: it passed our framing check; Pedra failed it (zoom 0.9871; 2.5% of the output is outside the original frame).
- speed matters: room 01 came back in 16 s vs about 35 s.
- you need restyling a furnished room: listed on REimagineHome's pages, not listed or not verified for Pedra.

Room 01: original vs staged
Same empty open-plan room, default settings, first output only. Each image shows the original next to the aligned output.

What we noted
Pedra
Room 01: Framing fails: zoomed out by about 1.3% and rotated about 0.5°, so roughly 2.5% of the image at the edges is newly drawn. After alignment the walls, column and doorway line up, but parts of the kitchen are redrawn and wall decor adds edges, so architecture drift stays high (27.1). Alignment explains about 10 of the 37.6 raw points.
Editor notes: Separate living and dining zones suit the open-plan room. The sectional is large but believable; it stands in front of the column. Adds fixtures that aren't in the flat: a pendant lamp over a new dining table and under-cabinet kitchen lights.
Pricing notes: Annual: EUR 239/yr for 1,200 credits (about EUR 0.20/photo). The page's own table rounds 100 credits to EUR 0.28/credit. 1 credit per staged photo.

REimagineHome
Room 01: Kept the camera frame. The tiled watermark on the free output adds some edges, which nudges drift up a little. A second run through Styldod (same engine) scored 14.4 in about 38 s; only the first output counts.
Editor notes: Living zone furnished, kitchen left alone, which suits an open-plan room. Sizes are believable, but the sofa sits right in front of the bathroom doorway. No melted or floating objects; two round mirrors were added and the tiled watermark covers the whole image.
Pricing notes: Essential lacks 'Next-Gen AI or High Resolution Quality'. Our free run: 2336x1760, 16 s, watermarked. 30 credits, 1 credit per generation. The plan card also says '20 credits/month thereafter'; the page's structured data lists $14 for Essential. Conflicting, we show the visible card.

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.). Prices from vendors' public pages, checked 19 October 2026; EUR converted at the ECB rate (1.1253, 2026-10-16). Nobody paid for a placement, and affiliate links never change the order.
