Short answer
MeltFlex costs $0.21 per staged photo on its cheapest paid option (Standard (monthly), €19/month) and $0.19 on the next tier. That is the lowest of 17 tools with a published per-photo price.
Free tier: first staged photo free, no card; free images carry a subtle watermark. What our free run gave us on room 01: a watermark (tiled meltflexai.com), on an on-page preview (download paywalled), 1195x896 output, about 28 s.
Is it worth it? Our alignment failed on MeltFlex's room 01 output, so its fidelity is not comparable with the tested tools and we cannot say whether its price buys a better result. Tested tools for reference are below.

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.
