Why is per-image staging so much more expensive than per-month staging?

They are usually different products. Per-image services at this price point are generally human-edited with a revision process; per-month services at this price point are generally model-generated and instant. Neither pricing page describes the other's method, so we are not going to characterise it for them — but the price gap is the first clue about which you are buying.

Does ReeltyPro sell staging on its own?

Staging is bundled into a Listing Credit rather than sold per image. One credit includes 6 staging generations alongside the video, the marketing graphics, the captions and the share page. If you need more than that on one listing, extra staging packs are sold separately.

Does a restyle cost another generation?

Yes. Restyling a room consumes one of the generations included with the credit — that is the cap, and it is stated that way rather than described as unlimited, because a render-backed allowance that is called unlimited is a promise nobody can keep.

How should virtual staging be disclosed?

It depends on your MLS and, if you are a REALTOR®, on the Code of Ethics obligation to present a true picture. There is a full guide at /guides/virtual-staging-disclosure with the primary text quoted.

What virtual staging actually costs

Three vendors with three different pricing shapes: per image, per month, and bundled into a per-listing credit. Every figure below is quoted from the vendor's own published pricing page on the date shown. Nothing here is a judgement about output quality — we have not benchmarked anyone else's staging, and a comparison page is not the place to guess.
