# Roomify alternatives in 2026: listing photo apps compared by what you need

By Emil Thomsen, Head of Customer Relations, October. Updated 2026-11-14. Web page: https://www.october-ai.com/guides/roomify-alternatives

The right Roomify alternative depends on why you are leaving: for a flat month instead of $49 a listing, Lumo ($29.99 a month for up to 500 photos) or AI HomeDesign (from $19 a month billed yearly); to pay per photo with no subscription, ProntoPic ($1.50 a photo) or Exposio (from $0.99 an HDR photo); for a check on every photo, Ovvy ($2 a photo); and if you want the app to decide where to stand and return a walkthrough video, October, from $49 a place with the first place free. This page compares Roomify and six alternatives from their App Store listings and websites as of November 14, 2026; it is written by October, and for an occasional large listing Roomify's one price for up to 150 photos is hard to beat.

## How we compared them

We read Roomify's US App Store listing, including its in-app purchase list, and for each alternative its App Store listing or its own pricing page, on November 14, 2026. We did not run the same photos through every app, so this is a comparison of what each one offers and charges, not of image quality. All prices are US prices in dollars.

> Disclosure: October writes this page and is one of the seven options. We describe October from our own pricing and FAQ, and the others only from what they publish. October is placed where it fits (when nobody on the job knows where to stand, and when you want video too), not first for everything. Unlike Roomify, it cannot take photos you already have: it only works from captures made in its own app, and nobody at October promises to look at the result.

Which Roomify: this page is about Roomify – Real Estate Photos, the iPhone app from Avemtis Properties, LLC. We compared it with Ovvy one to one in [Ovvy vs Roomify vs October](https://www.october-ai.com/guides/ovvy-vs-roomify-vs-october).

## What Roomify does, and when it is still the better choice

You snap or import photos of any room, interiors and exteriors, and Roomify's AI enhances lighting, colour and clarity 'while keeping every room true to life', in about three minutes for a listing. Each photo gets 5 free re-runs if you don't like the result. You download MLS-ready photos or publish a single-property website for buyers. Its listing says Roomify improves your real photos and does not fabricate rooms.

- **You shoot big listings now and then.** Roomify is $49 a listing for up to 150 photos, with no subscription, and the listing stays unlocked. Per photo, that is cheaper than anything here on a large home.
- **You list often.** The 5-listing pack is $199 (about $40 a listing) and the 20-listing pack $499 (about $25).
- **Your iPhone is older.** Roomify needs iOS 15.1, the lowest requirement on this page.
- **You want to try it free.** Your first listing is free.

Roomify is new: the current version is 1.0 from July 2026, with 5 stars from 2 App Store ratings. Its listing does not mention virtual staging, video or a person reviewing your photos. If any of those matter, read on.

## The 7 options compared (as of November 2026)

| Option | What it is | Input | Price basis | Turnaround | Human in the loop | Video | Best for |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Roomify | iPhone app: AI enhancement of lighting, colour and clarity; single-property website | Photos taken with your iPhone or imported (iOS 15.1+) | $49 a listing, $199 for 5, $499 for 20; up to 150 photos a listing, 5 free re-runs a photo; first listing free | 'About three minutes' | Not mentioned | Not mentioned | One price per listing, however many photos |
| Lumo | iPhone camera and AI editor: brightening, window balance, sky and twilight, staging in three styles, room sorting, MLS and social sizes | Photos shot in its camera or imported, up to 20 at a time (iOS 26+) | Free: 5 enhancements and 1 listing, with a badge; Lumo Pro $29.99/month or $239.99/year | 'Under 30 seconds' a photo | Not mentioned | Not mentioned | A flat month for many listings |
| ProntoPic | Web app: AI enhancement (light, colour, white balance, clutter, perspective), virtual staging in six styles | JPG or PNG photos uploaded from phone or desktop | $1.50 a photo, enhancement or staging; one-time packs, minimum 10 credits; credits never expire; 2 free credits | '6 to 12 seconds' a photo | Not mentioned; you review before and after | Not mentioned | Pay per photo, no app to install |
| AI HomeDesign | Web tools for virtual staging and photo editing ('All +10 AI tools'): restyle, declutter, repaint, dusk | Photos you upload | Pro $19/month billed yearly for 30 photos, Pro Plus $29 for 80, Enterprise from $49 for 200 ($0.24 a photo); first photos free, 7-day refund | 'Ready in seconds' | Not mentioned | Not mentioned | Staging and several edits on one photo for one credit |
| Exposio Real Estate Camera | HDR and wide-angle camera that blends several exposures; virtual staging, decluttering and Blue Sky replacement; property videos from your photos | Photos taken in the app (iOS 16+) | Free to shoot with a watermark; from $0.99 an HDR photo you keep, credit packs, Exposio Pro $9.99; first month free | Not stated on its App Store listing | Not mentioned | Yes: property videos made from your photos | HDR blended in the camera at a low price per photo |
| Ovvy | Camera app (exposure, levelling, composition) plus editing; staging, twilight, a property website and a listing description | Photos taken in the app only (iOS 17.6+) | $2 a photo pay as you go, or Pro $29/month for 30 photos; 20 free photos, no card | 'Photos back in hours' | 'Every photo is checked for quality before delivery' | No | A check on every photo before it comes back |
| October | iPhone app that guides the capture (an arrow to each spot, a level, three spots per room, the app takes the shot); October then finishes each photo from the capture of that spot, keeping the real room, and makes a walkthrough video from the finished photos | A guided walk in the app on an iPhone 12 or newer; cannot take photos you already have | Per place (up to 6 rooms): $49 photos, $99 with walkthrough, $199 with 4K; Start $149/month (2 places), Pro $399/month (6); Empty room $19, Staged $29 per room; first place free | Usually within a few hours, room by room | No human review promised. Check every photo before you publish | Walkthrough video made from each room's finished photos, HD or 4K | When nobody on the job knows where to stand, and you want photos and video of every room |

Roomify, Lumo, ProntoPic and AI HomeDesign are the same shape: bring photos, AI edits them, you review. Exposio and Ovvy are cameras first. October is the only one that chooses where you stand; it finishes each photo from your capture, keeping the room as it is, and makes a walkthrough video from each room's finished photos.

## Which alternative, by what you need

| Your situation | Look at | Why |
| --- | --- | --- |
| I list several homes a month | Lumo, AI HomeDesign | Lumo Pro is $29.99 a month for up to 500 photos; AI HomeDesign Enterprise is $49 a month billed yearly for 200 photos. Both beat $49 a listing from the second listing on. |
| I want to pay per photo, not per listing | ProntoPic, Exposio | ProntoPic is $1.50 a photo and its credits never expire. Exposio charges from $0.99 for each HDR photo you keep. See [ProntoPic alternatives](https://www.october-ai.com/guides/prontopic-alternatives). |
| I need virtual staging | ProntoPic, Lumo, AI HomeDesign, October | Roomify's listing does not mention staging. ProntoPic stages for the same $1.50 a photo, Lumo includes three styles, AI HomeDesign counts restyles inside one credit, and October stages a room for $29. See [virtual staging cost](https://www.october-ai.com/guides/virtual-staging-cost). |
| I want someone to check every photo | Ovvy | Ovvy's App Store listing says every photo is checked for quality before delivery, at $2 a photo or $29 a month for 30. |
| My photos are the problem, not the editing | Exposio, Ovvy, October | An editor works with what the phone caught. Exposio blends several exposures in the camera, Ovvy's camera handles exposure and levelling, and October shows you where to stand, keeps the phone level and takes three photos per room. See [the app that tells you where to stand](https://www.october-ai.com/guides/app-that-tells-you-where-to-stand-real-estate-photos). |
| I need a video of the home | October, Exposio | October makes a walkthrough video in HD or 4K from each room's finished photos; Exposio turns your photos into property videos. See [turn listing photos into a video](https://www.october-ai.com/guides/turn-listing-photos-into-video). |

## What four listings a month cost on each

Take an agent with four listings a month and 25 photos each: 100 photos. Here is that month on each option at list price, enhancement only, no staging.

| Option | 4 listings, 100 photos | What decides it |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Roomify | 4 × $49 = $196, or $199 for a 5-listing pack (one left over) | Per listing, up to 150 photos each |
| Lumo | $29.99 on Pro | Flat month, up to 500 photos |
| AI HomeDesign | $49 a month on Enterprise, billed yearly | 200 photos a month; Pro Plus covers 80 |
| Exposio | 100 × $0.99 = $99 at the single-photo price, less in credit packs | Per HDR photo you keep |
| ProntoPic | 100 × $1.50 = $150 | Per photo; credits never expire |
| Ovvy | 100 × $2 = $200 pay as you go | Per photo; Pro $29 covers 30 a month |
| October | 4 × $49 = $196 for photos; with walkthroughs, $287 on Start ($149 for 2 places + 2 extra at $69) | Per place of up to 6 rooms (up to 18 photos, three per room); the app takes the photos; first place free |

Read it both ways. If you shoot your own listings well and want them brighter, Lumo's flat month is the cheapest path at this volume, and Roomify's 20-listing pack ($499) brings it to about $25 a listing. October costs more because it does a different job: it decides each spot, finishes a photo per spot from your capture and adds a walkthrough video of the rooms. More on what a photographer would charge in our [real estate photography cost guide](https://www.october-ai.com/guides/real-estate-photography-cost), and October's plans on [pricing](https://www.october-ai.com/pricing).

## Three things to check before you switch

- **Your iOS version and phone.** Lumo needs iOS 26, Ovvy 17.6, Exposio 16 and Roomify 15.1; October needs an iPhone 12 or newer. ProntoPic and AI HomeDesign run in the browser.
- **Whether you can bring your own photos.** Roomify, Lumo, ProntoPic and AI HomeDesign take photos you already have. Exposio, Ovvy and October work from photos taken in their own app.
- **Disclosure.** Staging, decluttering and sky replacement are alterations under California's AB 723 and many MLS rules, whoever makes them. Every October photo is an AI-altered image of the real room, so label it where your MLS, portal or state requires; October's download includes the unaltered original of every photo. See [AI photo editing and MLS rules](https://www.october-ai.com/guides/ai-real-estate-photo-editing-mls-rules).
