Key takeaways
- BoxBrownie remains the benchmark for human edited staging at $30 per image, with a 24 to 48 hour turnaround and a long revision window.
- Styldod undercuts most designer led rivals at $23 per photo, falling to $16 on orders of 8 or more photos.
- Virtual Staging Solutions prices by the property rather than by the photo, which suits vacant listings that need a full set of staged rooms.
- AI subscription tools are cheaper per image, but this list covers companies that stage photos for you, so expect per photo pricing and human review.
- Always disclose staged photos in the listing, since most MLS rules and state advertising rules require it.

The best virtual staging companies
Starting price$30 per image

BoxBrownie is the most widely used outsourced virtual staging service in real estate, and its model is simple: human editors stage each photo by hand. That matters on high value listings, where buyers look closely at detail and a generic AI render can look flat or wrong. Editors work from the room's architecture, light, and proportions, so the furniture sits naturally in the space instead of floating on top of it. The $30 per image price sits in the middle of the designer led market, and unlimited revisions within two months give sellers room to change styles without extra cost.
The trade off is speed and cost at volume. A 15 photo listing costs $450, and delivery takes up to 48 hours, so it does not suit a same day launch. Agents who stage often can weigh that against the revision window, which is longer than most rivals offer. For a luxury or high traffic listing where image quality carries the sale, BoxBrownie remains the default choice.
What we like- Human editors on every image
- Unlimited revisions within two months
- Consistent quality across room types
Watch out for- Per image pricing adds up on large listings
- No free trial
- Turnaround is 24 to 48 hours, not same day
Starting price$35 per image
Free planNo
Stuccco pairs human designers with a fast workflow, delivering staged photos within 24 hours every day of the week. That speed helps agents who photograph on a Friday and want the listing live by Monday. The pay as you go price is $35 per image, but prepaid bundles bring it down to $28 or $24.50 per image, which makes Stuccco one of the better value designer services for agents who stage regularly. Revisions are free when requested within 30 days of purchase.
The main limit is style range. Stuccco covers the common modern, traditional, and farmhouse looks well, but agents with unusual architecture or niche tastes may find fewer options than at BoxBrownie or roOomy. For standard residential listings where speed matters, Stuccco is a strong pick.
What we like- 24 hour delivery seven days a week
- Prepaid bundles cut the price to $24.50 per image
- Free revisions within 30 days
Watch out for- Pay as you go price is higher than Styldod
- No free trial
- Style catalog is narrower than some rivals
Starting price$37 per photo

Bella Virtual Staging is a designer led service priced at $37 per photo, with a 5 to 20 percent discount on orders of three or more photos. The company stands out on compliance: it helps agents word the disclosure that staged photos require, which matters because most MLS boards and several states require staged images to be labeled. Unlimited revisions are included for two weeks after delivery, which covers the normal window between staging and listing launch.
Bella costs a little more than the cheapest designer options, and delivery takes 24 to 48 hours rather than a guaranteed 24. For agents who want the disclosure question handled clearly and a revision window that covers the launch period, the extra few dollars per photo are easy to justify.
What we like- Human designers on every photo
- Unlimited revisions for two weeks
- Guidance on MLS disclosure wording
Watch out for- Slightly higher per photo price than Stuccco or Styldod
- No free trial
- Turnaround is 24 to 48 hours
Starting price$23 per photo
Free planNo
Styldod is the price leader among human designer services. The standard price is $23 per photo, and orders of eight or more photos drop to $16 per photo, which makes it the cheapest way to stage a full listing with human designers. Revisions are unlimited and free, with no published time window, and rush delivery is available at 24 hours for an added $6 or 12 hours for $12. The company also sells an AI staging app, but the service reviewed here is its designer led work.
The standard turnaround is 24 to 48 hours, so agents who need same day delivery must pay the rush fee. For agents staging many rooms or many listings, Styldod's volume pricing is hard to beat without switching to AI only tools.
What we like- Lowest designer led price on large orders at $16 per photo
- Unlimited free revisions with no published window
- Rush delivery available
Watch out for- Standard turnaround is 24 to 48 hours
- Rush delivery costs extra
- AI app upsell may confuse buyers who want human design only
Starting price$24 per photo

VirtualStaging.com offers human designer staging at $24 per photo, falling to $19.20 per photo on bulk orders, with a standard turnaround of 24 hours. That combination of price and speed suits agents who stage often and work on tight schedules. Rush delivery in 4 to 8 hours is available on qualifying weekday orders, which can save a listing that needs to go live the same day.
The company does not publish a revision window, so agents should confirm revision terms before ordering a large set. For routine listings where speed and bulk pricing matter most, VirtualStaging.com is a practical choice.
What we like- 24 hour standard delivery
- Bulk price of $19.20 per photo
- Rush delivery in 4 to 8 hours on qualifying weekday orders
Watch out for- No free trial
- Rush delivery only on qualifying orders
- Revision window is not published
Starting price$49 per image
Free planNo
roOomy is the premium option here, at $49 per image without rework or $69 with rework included. Its edge is 3D: roOomy can stage Matterport tours, not just flat photos, so buyers walking a virtual tour see furnished rooms rather than empty ones. That matters for high end listings where the tour is a major selling tool. The design team has long experience with luxury properties and unusual floor plans.
The price is the highest on this list, and turnaround is not published on its pricing page, so agents should confirm timing before committing to a launch date. For listings where the 3D tour carries weight, roOomy's staging is worth the premium.
What we like- Stages Matterport 3D tours as well as photos
- Experienced design team
- Rework option available on the $69 tier
Watch out for- Highest base price on this list
- Turnaround is not published
- Rework costs extra unless you buy the higher tier
Starting price$34 per photo
Free planNo
PadStyler offers both human designer staging and AI subscription plans, which lets an agent mix approaches: designer staging for hero rooms and AI staging for secondary rooms. Designer staging starts at $34 per photo and falls to $23 on orders of eight or more photos, with delivery in under 24 hours. Unlimited revisions are offered with no published window.
The mixed model needs care at checkout, since AI plan prices and designer prices differ and it is easy to compare the wrong tier. For agents who want one vendor for both designer and AI staging, PadStyler covers both.
What we like- Human designers with AI plan options for volume
- Price falls to $23 at 8 or more photos
- Delivery under 24 hours
Watch out for- No free trial
- AI plan pricing differs from designer pricing, so compare carefully
- Revision window is not published

Virtual Staging Solutions prices by the property instead of by the photo: $210 for up to 3 photos, $408 for 6, and $569 for 9. That flat pricing suits vacant listings where the agent knows the full photo set in advance and wants one invoice. The company offers free rework until the client is happy, or a refund, which is the most generous revision policy on this list. Work is designer led with AI assistance.
For a single room or a two photo job, per property pricing costs more than a per photo rival. For a full vacant listing, the package price is competitive and the revision policy removes the risk of paying for a style the seller rejects.
What we like- Flat per property pricing simplifies budgeting
- Free rework until you are happy or a refund
- Designer led work with AI assistance
Watch out for- Per property pricing is higher than per photo rivals for small jobs
- Turnaround is not published
- Minimum order is a property package
How we chose
We compared published 2026 rates from company pricing pages and independent comparisons, focusing on services that stage photos for the client rather than tools the client operates alone. Each company had to offer human designer work, published pricing or a clear package rate, and delivery for US residential listings. We weighted price per photo, turnaround, revision policy, and disclosure help, and we left out AI only subscription tools since those are covered in our software guides. Prices change, so confirm the current rate before ordering.
Buying guide: how to pick a virtual staging company
Start with the listing, not the tool. A vacant three bedroom home needs a full set of staged rooms, so a per property package or a volume discount matters more than the single photo price. A single condo with two hero rooms suits a per photo service with a fast turnaround. Count the photos you will actually stage before comparing prices, since bulk tiers change the ranking.
Next, check turnaround against your launch date. Most designer services deliver in 24 to 48 hours, but a Friday shoot with a Monday launch leaves little slack. If the launch is same day, only rush options help, and those cost extra. Ask for the delivery time in writing when the launch date is fixed.
Revisions deserve as much attention as price. Sellers often reject the first furniture style, and a company that charges for rework can double the bill. Unlimited revisions within a window are worth more than a slightly lower headline price when the seller is picky. Also confirm who owns the staged images and whether you can reuse them across listing sites and social posts.
Finally, handle disclosure before the listing goes live. Label staged photos as virtually staged in the listing and in marketing, and keep one unstaged photo of each room so buyers can see the true space. Most MLS rules require disclosure, and a clear label protects the agent if a buyer claims the photos misled them.
Frequently asked questions
How much does virtual staging cost per photo in 2026?
Designer led staging runs roughly $16 to $69 per photo in 2026, depending on the company and order size. Styldod is cheapest at volume at $16 per photo on orders of eight or more, while roOomy starts at $49. Per property packages from Virtual Staging Solutions run $210 to $569 for 3 to 9 photos.
Is virtual staging legal for real estate listings?
Yes, in most US markets, provided staged photos are disclosed as virtually staged. Most MLS boards require a label on staged images, and several states treat undisclosed staging as misleading advertising. Keep an unstaged photo of each room available for buyers.
How long does virtual staging take?
Most designer services deliver in 24 to 48 hours. Stuccco and VirtualStaging.com offer 24 hour standard delivery, and rush options can cut that to 4 to 12 hours for an added fee. AI tools deliver in minutes, but this guide covers companies that stage photos for you.
Do virtual staging companies offer free revisions?
Most do, but the window differs. BoxBrownie allows unlimited revisions within two months, Bella within two weeks, and Stuccco within 30 days. Virtual Staging Solutions offers free rework until you are happy or a refund. roOomy includes rework only on its higher priced tier.
Is virtual staging better than physical staging?
Virtual staging costs a fraction of physical staging, which runs $2,000 to $8,000 or more per property, and it works for vacant homes without moving furniture. Physical staging still wins at open houses, where buyers walk the rooms in person. Many agents use virtual staging for photos and physical staging only for high end listings.
Can I stage photos of an occupied home?
Yes. Most companies can declutter and restyle photos of furnished rooms, removing existing furniture and replacing it with a chosen style. Results vary with photo quality, so shoot in daylight with a wide angle lens and clear sight lines for the best output.
