RealStage is a web service that creates AI-powered virtual staging images for real estate professionals. Users upload photos of empty rooms, choose room types and one of 12 furnishing styles, then download images individually or as a complete project. Each project is currently limited to 15 images. New users receive 3 free credits, with each credit covering one image generation; email verification is required for credit-based features. One-time packs cost $19.98 as a one-time purchase for 10 image generations, $39.99, paid once for 25, or $129.99, paid once for 100. Each pack lists multiple style variations and edit requests per image, the 12 styles, high-resolution downloads, and 30-day image retention. Users own generated staged images and may use them commercially, and retain rights to uploaded images. Generated images are automatically deleted 30 days after generation, while original uploads remain until the project or account is deleted. Uploaded images are processed by Nano Banana, which the privacy policy says does not retain them beyond processing.
