Verdict
Roomagen kept the room closer to the original on room 01: architecture drift 15.3 vs 27.1 (lower is better). On published prices Pedra is cheaper per staged photo: $0.33 vs $0.40 on the cheapest paid option.
- cost per photo decides it: $0.33 vs $0.40 on the cheapest paid option (Pro Monthly, €29/month).
- you want to try it before creating an account (Yes).
- you need 360 or video output: listed on Pedra's pages, not listed or not verified for Roomagen.
- walls, windows and doors must stay as they are: lower room 01 drift (15.3 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).
- the furniture has to look real: higher editor realism rating on room 01 (4.2 vs 3.8 of 5, one editor, not blind).
- you need restyling a furnished room and day-to-dusk: listed on Roomagen'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.

Roomagen
Room 01: Kept the frame, low drift. The heavy tiled watermark makes the free output hard to use in a listing. Time is approximate (30–57 s observed).
Editor notes: Living zone staged, kitchen left alone. Sizes are right, but a console table and lamp sit across the passage behind the column. No melted or floating objects; the heavy hexagon watermark covers everything.
Pricing notes: Our observation: room 01 at 2K gave 2400x1792; room 02 at the same 2K setting gave only 1200x896, matching the page's 'then 1K'. The account showed 4 credits after verification (6 advertised) and one 2-credit run took it to 0, so 2 credits are unaccounted for. 60 credits; every tool costs 2 credits.

Rooms both tools staged
- Room 02. Pedra: Framing passes. Furnish / Modern / Whole photo. Roomagen: 2K was selected, but the free download is 1200x896 (room 01 at the same setting gave 2400x1792); the pricing page says the free plan gives '2K on your first edit, then 1K'. Framing passes; drift 34.6 is high, partly from the tiled watermark.
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.
