Strengths, limits and who it suits, in full
Strengths
- Free plan to try it The pricing page lists 30 credits with 1K resolution, the basic model, chat guidance and furniture suggestions at $0.
- Cost shown before generating The pricing FAQ says the credit cost is shown before supported actions.
- Top-ups for subscribers The pricing FAQ says active subscribers can buy extra credits without changing plan.
- Cancel any time The pricing FAQ says you can cancel from your account and paid features usually last until the paid period ends.
Limits
- Credits expire monthly The pricing FAQ says unused credits do not roll over to the next billing period.
- Refund wording differs The pricing page promises a 7-day money-back guarantee, its FAQ says refunds are case by case, and the terms limit refunds to 7 days and no more than 50% of credits used.
- Content may train its models The terms license your input to the provider, including to train and fine-tune internal AI models; the FAQ says private mode does not make data invisible to it.
- Commercial use unclear by plan The pricing table lists the commercial licence from Pro, but the FAQ steers commercial and client work to Pro or Max.
Who it suits
- Homeowners and DIY renovators The homepage positions the free tier for testing ideas before spending money.
- Real estate agents and stagers The homepage describes listing visuals and virtual staging; commercial use needs a plan that includes it.
- Short-term rental hosts The homepage describes testing colours, furniture and decor to refresh listing photos.
- Not for sensitive or confidential spaces The FAQ warns against uploading confidential material, since photos and chats are processed by the provider.

Which plan fits?
Smallest plan whose monthly credits cover your number with 15% spare for regenerations. Arithmetic from the plan table above, not a usage test.
How far does it go?
- What the credits buyThe FAQ says an image costs at least 3 credits and more for advanced models, higher resolution or upscales. At that minimum, the 30 free credits cover about 10 images, Starter's 500 about 166 and Pro's 1,500 about 500 a month. Real counts will be lower with higher-quality models, and unused credits do not roll over, so Starter at $14.99 suits a few rooms a month, not volume work.

Taxes, currency and promotions can change the price you see at checkout.

| Credits set the cost of each image | The pricing FAQ says the minimum image cost starts at 3 credits and rises with model, quality, resolution and operation, and the service shows the cost before supported actions. | Use basic quality to explore directions, then spend credits on a higher-quality model only for the layout you pick, as the FAQ itself suggests. |
What does the free plan include?
The pricing page lists 30 credits, 1K image resolution, the basic AI model, AI chat guidance and real furniture suggestions. Its FAQ says the minimum image cost starts at 3 credits, so the free credits cover a small number of first tests.
Which plan lets you use images commercially?
The pricing table lists the commercial usage license under Pro, while the FAQ says Max is best for commercial projects and client work. Confirm the license scope in the terms and at checkout before using renders in listings or client decks.
What happens to the photos you upload?
The terms say you keep rights to your input but license it to the provider, including to train internal AI models. The pricing FAQ says private mode gives more control but does not make data invisible to the provider, so avoid uploading sensitive rooms.
