What is Homestyler?
Homestyler is a cloud-based 3D floor planner and interior design app for homeowners and interior designers. You draw the room, furnish it in 3D and render images of it; AI tools such as AI Stager and AI Planner sit alongside the modelling tools. It is freemium: the free Basic plan includes unlimited 1K renders, Pro+ starts from €6.27 a month with 75 renders each in 2K and 4K plus 180 AI credits, Master+ from €10.89 a month offers unlimited 4K image rendering, and Team starts from €18.37 per seat per month with your logo on renders. The interface comes in 14 languages. Lift My Place does a narrower job: it takes a photo you already have and stages or renovates it.

Why teams switch to Lift My Place
Starts from the photo you already have
Lift My Place works on the listing photo itself: it detects whether it shows an interior or a façade, and you choose one of 21 interior or 20 façade styles, or leave it on automatic. There is nothing to model. Homestyler is built around constructing the room in 3D, which suits design projects more than staging a set of listing photos.
Façades and decluttering
Lift My Place renovates façades in 20 styles, and removes or tidies furniture through a free-text instruction in the same render. Homestyler’s pricing page does not mention façade renovation or furniture removal from a photo, so check its current tools if that is what you need.
Pay per use, without a subscription
Credit packs start at €9 / $10 for 10 HD renders and never expire, and 2 free credits come with sign-up. Monthly plans start at €8 / $8 for 25 credits, without commitment. Homestyler sells its 2K and 4K renders and its AI credits through monthly plans; its free plan covers 1K renders.
Worked pricing examples
One listing, 10 photos once. On Lift My Place, a 10-credit pack costs €9 / $10 and gives 10 HD renders, or 5 in very high definition (3840 × 2160 equivalent, 2 credits each); the pack never expires and sign-up adds 2 free credits. On Homestyler, the free Basic plan gives unlimited 1K renders of rooms you model yourself; 2K and 4K renders start with Pro+, from €6.27 a month. About 50 photos a month. Lift My Place Starter costs €16 / $16 a month for 55 credits, billed monthly without commitment. Homestyler Pro+, from €6.27 a month, includes 75 renders each in 2K and 4K plus 180 AI credits; AI Stager is listed at 10 credits per image, so 180 credits would cover 18 AI Stager images if spent only on it. An agency, 250 photos a month. Lift My Place Agency costs €64 / $64 a month for 260 credits, Business €128 / $128 for 560. Homestyler Team starts from €18.37 per seat per month with 500 AI credit coupons a month, and Master+ from €10.89 a month offers unlimited 4K image rendering. Homestyler shows monthly rates only. Keep in mind that its renders come from rooms built in 3D, while a Lift My Place credit stages one existing photo.
Day-to-day workflow
On Homestyler, you do the design work. You draw or import the floor plan, place walls, furniture and materials in 3D, then render images or panoramas. AI Stager and AI Planner can speed up parts of this, but the platform is built around a model of the room that you control and can change at any time. On Lift My Place, the AI works from a photo. You upload one image at a time on the website or the iOS app (the API and MCP server handle batches, 6 renders a minute per account). It detects interior or façade; you pick a style or leave it on automatic, and can add an instruction, for example to remove furniture. There is no designer and no revision by a person: if a render is not right you run it again, which costs a credit; failed renders are refunded. AI renders can deviate from the room, so check each one. Homestyler’s interface comes in 14 languages, Lift My Place’s in 6 (English, French, Spanish, German, Dutch, Italian). Whatever the tool, virtually staged photos must be labelled as such on a listing.
When Homestyler might fit better
Choose Homestyler when the job is designing a space rather than staging a photo: drawing a floor plan, placing furniture to scale, trying layouts and rendering the room from any angle, including panoramas. Lift My Place does none of that: no 3D model, no floor plans, no 360° images. Homestyler is also the cheaper route if low-resolution images are enough: the Basic plan is free with unlimited 1K renders, Pro+ starts from €6.27 a month with 4K renders, and Master+ from €10.89 a month offers unlimited 4K image rendering. Its interface is available in 14 languages, against 6 for Lift My Place.

Common comparison questions
Is Homestyler cheaper than Lift My Place?
For rendering a room you model in 3D, often yes: Homestyler has a free plan with unlimited 1K renders and Pro+ from €6.27 a month. For staging listing photos, the costs are not like for like. On Lift My Place, 10 HD renders cost €9 / $10 in a pack that never expires, and 55 credits cost €16 / $16 a month on Starter. Homestyler lists AI Stager at 10 credits per image.
Does Homestyler use AI, or do I design the room myself?
Both. Most of Homestyler is a design tool you drive yourself: you build the room in 3D and render it. It also offers AI tools, including AI Stager (“Design any space in any style”) and AI Planner. On Lift My Place, the AI does the staging from your photo; you choose a style or leave it on automatic, and can add an instruction.
Can I remove furniture from a photo with Homestyler?
Homestyler’s pricing page does not mention removing furniture from a photo, so check its current tools. On Lift My Place, you remove or tidy furniture by writing it in the optional instruction, for example “empty the room and keep the parquet”; there is no separate mode. As with any AI render, check the result before you use it.
Which one for a single listing?
If you have the photos and want them furnished or the façade refreshed, Lift My Place: sign-up gives 2 free credits, and a pack of 10 HD renders costs €9 / $10. If you want to plan a renovation in 3D, with a floor plan and furniture to scale, Homestyler’s free plan is a sensible place to start. Virtually staged photos must be labelled as such on listings.
Which one for an estate agency?
For a steady flow of listing photos, Lift My Place: Agency costs €64 / $64 a month for 260 credits and Business €128 / $128 for 560, both with logo export, and the API and MCP server take batches. Homestyler’s Team plan, from €18.37 per seat per month, suits agencies that design spaces in 3D, for example renovation projects, and includes a custom logo on renders.
