Verdict
On room 01 the two kept walls, windows and doors about equally well (architecture drift 15.3 vs 16.2; 3 points or less is noise). On published prices Roomagen is cheaper per staged photo: $0.40 vs $0.63 on the cheapest paid option. On the next tier up the order flips (REimagineHome $0.18 vs $0.29), so check how many photos you stage a month.
- cost per photo decides it: $0.40 vs $0.63 on the cheapest paid option (Starter, $12/month).
- you need furniture removal (declutter), day-to-dusk, virtual renovation (wall and floor recolor) and an API: listed on Roomagen's pages, not listed or not verified for REimagineHome.
- speed matters: room 01 came back in 16 s vs about 45 s.

What we noted
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.

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.
