Pay 3 Credits a Staged Photo, or €0.99 Flat
PhotoUp prices AI home staging from 3 credits per photo, on a $1.50-per-credit on-demand base. This page compares both models at equal volume and says plainly what PhotoUp still does better.
PhotoUp isn't selling software — it's selling an outsourced production line: retouching, staging, listing sites, and dedicated editor hours, handled by human teams. That model is legitimate, but it trades speed for headcount. You send a batch and wait for it to come back, instead of watching the same photo render in minutes. On home staging specifically, the sourced pricing puts CasaNova at roughly a quarter of PhotoUp's per-unit cost.
CasaNova render: replacing existing furniture, a variation requested mid-listing. At PhotoUp, every staged photo starts at 3 credits minimum on the public rate card.

Who this comparison is for
This page is for brokerages and photographers who already use PhotoUp for retouching and are weighing whether staging should stay with the same outsourced vendor.
Brokerages ordering staging per photo and watching the invoice climb with every new listing.
Real estate photographers who want to separate human retouching from virtual furnishing.
Teams that want one fixed monthly line instead of a running credit balance to track.
Why CasaNova is a real alternative to PhotoUp on staging
The point isn't replacing PhotoUp's whole production chain. It's pulling the most repetitive line item out of a pay-per-order model.
Virtual staging is the most repeated task on a listing — exactly the kind of work that gains from a flat subscription instead of a per-order queue.
One monthly budget line, with no credit balance to track on top of a subscription fee.
Production happens in-house, on demand, with no order-and-wait cycle for visuals that don't need a human touch.
Detailed comparison
Pricing pulled July 26, 2026 from PhotoUp's public pricing page and CasaNova's rate card. Shared assumption: 10 listings a month, 10 photos each.
| Critere | CasaNova Labs | PhotoUp |
|---|---|---|
| Staging price | €0.99 per photo on the 10-property plan. | 3 credits minimum per photo, or $4.50 and up at the $1.50 on-demand credit rate. |
| Billing model | One flat subscription per listing, 10 photos included. | A monthly plan from $49 to $399, stacked on top of a credit cost, quoted at $1.10 on a plan. |
| Cost for 100 staged photos | €99 — the full 10-property plan. | 300 credits, or $450 at the on-demand rate. |
| Turnaround | Rendered in the same session where you upload the listing. | Order-based: a batch goes to a human editing team and comes back once it's processed, not an instant render. |
| Human delegation | You produce it yourself. The optional Plus Service add-on, €33/month, brings in support. | A dedicated editor at $7.94/hour, and dedicated packages from $869 to $1,769/month. Advantage PhotoUp. |
| Scope | Photos, 3D floor plans, and video around the listing. | Retouching, staging, listing websites, 360° tours, virtual assistants. |
The real cost of a listing
The decisive math isn't the price of one isolated photo — it's the volume your brokerage actually runs every month.
PhotoUp prices AI staging from 3 credits per photo.
A 10-photo staged listing costs at least $45 on-demand. The same volume runs €9.90 on CasaNova's 10-property plan.
Speed versus headcount
The decisive math isn't the price of one isolated photo — it's the volume your brokerage actually runs every month.
PhotoUp's staging runs through a human editing queue; CasaNova renders in the same session.
For one listing, that gap barely matters. Run listings every week and the order-and-wait cycle becomes the real bottleneck, not the price.
Two meters to watch
The decisive math isn't the price of one isolated photo — it's the volume your brokerage actually runs every month.
A monthly plan fee plus a separate credit cost stacked on top.
The real bill only shows up at month's end. CasaNova has one line, known in advance.
The value of human time
The decisive math isn't the price of one isolated photo — it's the volume your brokerage actually runs every month.
PhotoUp also sells editor hours, at $7.94 each.
That's a genuine advantage if you want production off your team's plate entirely. CasaNova doesn't replace that service and doesn't claim to.
When PhotoUp is still the right call
PhotoUp covers needs we don't. Here's when outsourcing to their team is the rational choice.
You run enough volume to justify a dedicated editor or a package priced at $869 to $1,769 a month — at that scale, paying for headcount instead of software is a reasonable trade.
You need human photo retouching on difficult shots, beyond what automated processing corrects.
You want one vendor for retouching, listing websites, 360° tours, and administrative support alongside the photos themselves, and you can plan around an order-and-wait cycle instead of needing same-day output.
