Prices and features from each vendor's public pages, checked 2026-10-19, no sign-ups. Per-photo price = plan price / staged photos included, on the cheapest paid option and on the next tier up, monthly billing unless the tool only sells packs. "Not stated" means we could not verify it. 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.
