Pedra alternatives in 2026: staging, photo and video tools compared by what you need

The right Pedra alternative depends on which part of Pedra you use: for staging alone, Virtual Staging AI (from $16 a month) or REimagineHome (from $19 a month, with real products buyers can buy); for staging with a human-assisted tier, Collov AI; for HDR photos taken on the phone with staging and a video on the same credits, Exposio ($0.99 a photo); for editing and listing videos on your phone, pay per edit, Real Estate Camera AI; and if you have no good photos yet and want the app to guide the capture and return finished photos plus a walkthrough video, October, from $99 a place with the walkthrough and the first place free. This page compares Pedra and six alternatives from their own sites and App Store listings as of November 9, 2026; it is written by October and ranks October where it fits, and for staging, unlimited videos, 360° tours and floor plans on one €29 plan, Pedra itself is hard to beat.

How we compared them

We read Pedra's homepage, pricing page, video pages and App Store listing, and for each alternative its pricing page or App Store listing, on November 9, 2026. We did not run the same listing through every tool, so this compares what each one offers and charges, not image or video quality.

A note on currency: Pedra prices in euros (€29 a month, €239 a year); the other tools on this page price in US dollars. We do not convert, so check the price in your currency at checkout.

When Pedra is still the better choice

Pedra is a web platform for real estate visuals. Its homepage lists virtual staging (furnish, empty, renovate), photo enhancement (HD, perspective, sky), property videos with music, voice-over and branding, 360° virtual tours with AI-placed hotspots, 2D floor plans and social media publishing, and says a whole listing takes 'About 15min per property'. It says it is trusted by more than 30,000 agents in 55+ countries. Pedra Pro is €29 a month for 100 credits, or €239 a year for 1,200. Staging and enhancement cost 1 credit each, a floor plan render 2 and an AI-animated photo 5, while videos, virtual tours, 2D floor plans and social publishing are unlimited. A free start gives 7 credits, 1 video and 1 tour with no card. Videos from photos render in HD 1080p, in 16:9 and 9:16, in 2 to 10 minutes. Pedra's phone app (Pedra AI, by Pedra Software SL, on iPhone and Android) films a guided video walk of each room and builds 360° tours from 360-camera photos; its App Store listing says unlimited videos come with Pro Annual.

You want everything on one plan. Staging, enhancement, videos, 360° tours and floor plans for €29 a month. Every alternative here covers part of that list.
You need 360° tours or floor plans. None of the alternatives on this page makes them.
You make a lot of video. Slideshow videos from your photos are unlimited; only AI animation costs credits.
You want filmed video, not photos. Pedra's app guides your pan and pace while you film each room and cuts 16:9 and 9:16 versions. October's walkthrough is made from still photos, not filmed.

If one of those is you, the rest of this page is for the day you want something simpler, a price in dollars per photo, a person in the loop, or listing photos from a phone with no editing at all.

The room as the iPhone captured it — A living room: the iPhone capture (left) and the finished photo October made from it (right), brighter, with the throw and the remote left out and cushions plumped; the sofa, window, painting and view were kept as captured. It is an AI-altered image of the real room, so label it where your MLS requires. Pedra and the web tools start from a photo you already have.

The same room as October delivered it — A living room: the iPhone capture (left) and the finished photo October made from it (right), brighter, with the throw and the remote left out and cushions plumped; the sofa, window, painting and view were kept as captured. It is an AI-altered image of the real room, so label it where your MLS requires. Pedra and the web tools start from a photo you already have.

Pedra, REimagineHome, Virtual Staging AI and Collov all start from photos you already have; Pedra is the one that also makes video, tours and floor plans from them. Exposio and Real Estate Camera AI put the editing on a phone. October is the only one that guides the capture itself and returns both the finished photos and a walkthrough from that one walk.

Which alternative, by what you need

Your situation	Look at	Why
I only use Pedra for staging	Virtual Staging AI, Collov AI	Virtual Staging AI is a fixed number of staged photos a month, from 6 for $16 to 150 for $79. Collov gives 60 credits for $19 and a human-assisted tier on Premium. See best virtual staging apps.
I want staging with real furniture, or redesigns	REimagineHome	REimagineHome restyles furnished rooms and stages with real products buyers can buy, from $19 a month. See REimagineHome alternatives.
I want to take the photos and make the video in one app	Exposio, October	Exposio develops HDR on the phone at $0.99 a photo and includes a Motion video with every plan; where you stand is up to you. October guides you to each spot and returns finished photos and a walkthrough from the same walk. See Exposio alternatives.
I want staging and video on my phone, pay per edit	Real Estate Camera AI	2 credits a staged photo and 2 per AI video clip, with packs that never expire, from $9.99. See Real Estate Camera AI alternatives.
I don't have good photos yet	October	Pedra's photo tools, like every web tool here, can only work with the photos you give them. October's app shows where to stand in each room and takes the photos; October then finishes them and makes the walkthrough. See photos and a video tour from one walkthrough.
I need 360° tours or floor plans	Pedra	None of the alternatives here makes them. For other options, see how to make a virtual tour of a house.

What a 6-room listing costs: credits vs per place

Take a six-room home and 18 photos, three per room, which is what October captures; enhance them, stage two rooms (six photos) and make one listing video. On Pedra that is 12 enhancements and 6 stagings at 1 credit each, 18 credits, plus a slideshow video at no credit cost. Pedra and the web tools assume the 18 photos already exist.

Job	Pedra path (credits, in euros)	October path (per place, in dollars)
Get the 18 photos taken	You, with any camera, choosing where to stand	You, in the app; it chooses the spot and takes the shot (iPhone 12 or newer)
12 enhanced photos	12 credits	Included in the place
Stage 2 rooms, 3 photos each	6 credits	2 × $29 = $58
One listing video	Unlimited slideshow videos at no credit cost; 5 credits for each photo animated with AI	Walkthrough made from the finished photos: $99 for the place with photos (or $199 in 4K)
Total	18 credits, inside one month of Pro at €29 (100 credits)	$157 ($99 + $58)
Turnaround	Seconds a photo; video in 2 to 10 minutes	Usually within a few hours, photos room by room
The same job elsewhere	Exposio: 18 × $0.99 = $17.82 for HDR photos taken in its app, staging at 1 credit each, Motion included; Real Estate Camera AI: 12 + 12 = 24 credits ($24.99 for a 60-credit pack) plus 2 credits per AI clip	—

Read it plainly: if you already have good photos, Pedra does this whole listing, video included, inside a €29 month with 82 credits left, and October costs several times more. What October's $157 buys is the capture: the app choosing each spot and taking the photos, a finished photo per spot made from that capture (brighter, straightened, loose items left out, the room kept as captured), staging that covers every photo of the room, and a walkthrough of the rooms. Your first place with October is free, including the walkthrough (pricing). For more video options, see real estate video maker.

Three things to check before you switch

Which Pedra plan includes the phone app. Pedra's App Store listing says unlimited videos come with Pro Annual, and its video app page says the app is included with Pro Annual while one of its FAQ answers calls it free for agents. If the app is why you use Pedra, check which plan you need before you compare.
What the price is really per. Credits on a monthly or yearly pool (Pedra, REimagineHome, Collov), a fixed number of photos a month (Virtual Staging AI), per photo (Exposio), per edit on credits that never expire (Real Estate Camera AI) or per place of up to six rooms (October).
Disclosure. Virtual staging, emptying rooms, renovation, sky replacement and AI-animated photos are alterations under California's AB 723 and most MLS rules, whoever makes them. Every October photo is an AI-altered image of the real room, so label it AI-altered or digitally altered where your MLS, portal or state requires; October's empty and staged rooms carry a label on the image, and the download includes the unaltered original of every photo. See AI photo editing and MLS rules.

Questions

What is the best alternative to Pedra?

For staging alone, Virtual Staging AI (from $16 a month) or Collov AI ($19 a month for 60 credits). For redesigns and real products, REimagineHome (from $19 a month). For taking HDR photos and making a video in one phone app, Exposio. For pay-per-edit staging and video on the phone, Real Estate Camera AI. If you have no good photos yet and want finished photos and a walkthrough from one guided walk, October, from $99 a place with the walkthrough and the first place free.

How much does Pedra cost?

Pedra Pro is €29 a month for 100 credits, or €239 a year for 1,200 credits. Staging and enhancement cost 1 credit, a floor plan render 2 and an AI-animated photo 5; property videos, 360° tours, 2D floor plans and social publishing are unlimited. The free start gives 7 credits, 1 video and 1 tour with no card.

Does Pedra have a phone app?

Yes. Pedra AI, by Pedra Software SL, is on the App Store, and Pedra's site says it is on Google Play too. It films a guided video walk of each room and builds 360° tours from 360-camera photos; staging, enhancement and floor plans are on the web. Its App Store listing says unlimited videos are included with Pro Annual.

Is October's walkthrough like Pedra's video?

Both start from your phone, but differently. Pedra's app films the rooms while guiding your pan, or its web tool makes a slideshow from your photos. October's app takes still photos at three spots per room, and October makes the walkthrough from each room's finished photos, in HD (1920×1080) or 4K (3840×2160); it is not filmed footage. October does not make 360° tours or floor plans.

Can October edit or stage photos I already have?

No. October only works from captures made in its own app on an iPhone 12 or newer. For photos you already have, Pedra or the staging tools above fit better.

Did you test all seven?

No. This page compares what each option publishes on its website and App Store listing, checked on November 9, 2026. We only describe October from first-hand knowledge, because we make it.
