Pricing, MLS rules, software comparisons, AI quality. Updated for 2026.
What is Palazzo Spaces?
Palazzo Spaces is an AI virtual staging platform built for real estate. Upload a photo of any room — empty or furnished — and Spaces generates a photorealistic staged version in under 60 seconds using real, shoppable furniture from real catalogs.
How much does Palazzo cost?
Palazzo Spaces starts at $50/month for unlimited virtual staging. Every plan includes unlimited rooms, multiple design styles, and MLS-ready downloads — there are no per-image fees, no credits, and no tokens. See full pricing tiers at /pricing.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Every plan starts with a free trial — no credit card required. Stage your first rooms and see the quality before you commit.
How does Palazzo compare to other staging tools?
Competitors range from $16/mo for 6 images (Virtual Staging AI) to $24–32 per image (BoxBrownie). Palazzo is $50/mo unlimited. The functional difference: Palazzo uses real, shoppable products from real catalogs — every other major platform uses AI-generated furniture that doesn't exist and can't be purchased. See the full comparison at /compare.
What rooms can I virtually stage?
Palazzo handles all common room types: living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, home offices, kitchens, and bathrooms. Open-concept spaces work too. Upload a photo of any room — empty or furnished — and Palazzo will stage it.
Do I have to disclose virtually staged photos on the MLS?
Yes. Every major US MLS requires virtually staged photos to be disclosed. Common methods: caption text ("Virtually staged"), description disclosure in the listing, or a watermark on the image itself. Failing to disclose can result in fines, listing removal, and ethics complaints.
Can I virtually stage occupied homes?
Yes. Upload a photo of the room with the existing furniture, and Palazzo will remove the dated or cluttered items and restage with curated furniture. This is one of the most common use cases — restyling occupied homes for listing photos without touching the actual property.
What design styles does Palazzo offer?
Palazzo offers Grand Elegance, Mid Century Modern, Vintage Casual, Urbanology, New Traditions, Manc + Mason, Modern Refinery, Contemporary Living, and American Classics. You can also match staging to the buyer demographic for the specific listing.
How long does AI virtual staging take?
Palazzo renders staged photos in under 60 seconds. Human-designer services like BoxBrownie take 24–48 hours. Faster turnaround means you can list properties sooner and respond to market changes in real time.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes. Upgrade or downgrade anytime. If you're on annual billing, we'll prorate the difference. Volume discounts are available for brokerages with 26+ agents — contact us for custom pricing.
What image formats do you support?
Upload JPG or PNG. Downloads are high-resolution JPG, ready for MLS, Zillow, Realtor.com, and print materials.
What makes Palazzo furniture "shoppable"?
Every piece of furniture in a Palazzo-staged room is a real product from a real catalog. When the listing uses Palazzo Showcase, buyers can click on any item to see the brand, price, and where to buy. This turns the staged image from a static marketing asset into a commerce surface — and in the partner program, agents earn commission on attributed purchases.
