How to choose
- Volume: count the photos you stage in a typical month and compare the plan that covers it, not the cheapest headline.
- Billing: check whether the big number is a monthly price or the monthly equivalent of a yearly charge.
- Fidelity: test with your own photo and check that walls, windows, floors and views are unchanged.
- Disclosure: check that you can label each image and give buyers the original, as California and many MLSs require.
- Human touch: for luxury listings or complex edits, a human service with revisions may be worth the higher price.
