BoxBrownie vs Planua

BoxBrownie provides property marketing services for the real estate and building industries, including photo editing, virtual staging, renders and virtual tours. Its Image Enhancement service can adjust white balance, sharpen and straighten images, replace skies and enhance lawns. Virtual staging adds furniture to property photos, offers multiple styles and is advertised with a 48-hour turnaround. Other listed work includes floor plan redraws, item removal and virtual cleaning, color changes, virtual renovation, 360° editing, site plans, copywriting, background removal and portrait retouching. Customers can use the web service, iOS app or REST API to submit jobs and reworks. API access uses a public/private key pair; the private key is shown once and is not stored on BoxBrownie's servers. The company says it uses SSL on secure web pages and does not store credit card details; third-party processors handle payment data. Support is available 24/7 by phone, live chat and email. A free account includes three Image Enhancements and one Day to Dusk edit without a credit card. Image Enhancement is US$1.60 per image, with no subscription.

Planua turns photos of empty property rooms into staged interiors intended for listings. Users can refine furniture, styling, and details while keeping the original room perspective and layout. Staging can be guided by room type, style, buyer profile, mood, color direction, brands, or exact furniture pieces. Shared project folders organize property work, drafts, client reviews, approvals, and final exports. The homepage lists 4K exports and commercial use for staged images in listings, portals, brochures, and campaigns. Planua runs on the web and is designed for real estate agencies, staging teams, architects, and interior professionals. A free plan and free trial are listed. The privacy policy says uploaded content and prompts may be sent to Google Generative Language API services and Replicate for image generation and editing. It also says some providers may process data outside the EU or EEA, using adequacy decisions where available or safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses. Pricing differs between two schedules: the homepage lists Essential at €39/mo and Agency at €249/mo, while the linked guide lists Starter at €19/mo, Pro Studio at €59/mo, and Agency at €149/mo. The provider is a sole proprietorship based in Lüneburg, Germany.
