Frameshift vs Planua

Frameshift is a web-based tool for making virtual staging images from room photos. Users upload a room image, add virtual furniture or products, guide the placement and orientation of their own products, then generate and download a render. The service also describes turning renders into 8-second video walkthroughs in 1080p, in either 16:9 or 9:16 format. Frameshift is aimed at furniture companies, interior designers, virtual stagers, and ecommerce businesses. It accepts JPG, PNG, and WebP uploads, and recommends images of at least 1080p. A room generation uses 5 credits and a product upload uses 2; subscription credits do not roll over, while top-up credits do not expire. Most generations take 30–60 seconds, though complex scenes can take longer. You can create a free account and begin a 5-day trial with 100 credits, but a card is required to start the trial. Paid plans start at $35 a month. Images are watermarked without an active paid subscription; subscribers get 2-year image retention. Users own uploads and renders, while granting Frameshift a license to use content to improve the service.

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.
