Renov vs Apply Design
Apply Design is a virtual staging tool with a drag-and-drop editor on the photo, an AI auto mode and a catalogue of 18,000+ furniture pieces. Renov stages a room in 3D and renders every angle from it. Here is how they compare, using each company's own published figures.

Where Renov is stronger
- Deeper control: Renov has drag and drop too, from the catalogue straight onto any photo, and then every piece is a real 3D object in a measured room. Rotate it on all three axes, resize it at true scale, flip, swap, lock, hide and group it, with collision checks against walls and other pieces, undo, and every angle updating at once. Apply Design describes a drag-and-drop editor on the photo.
- The room is reconstructed in 3D from all its photos, so a piece placed once appears in every angle at the same place and size, from one photo to 10 or more.
- Faster: the 3D room is ready in 30 seconds to a minute and each angle renders in under 30 seconds, where Apply Design quotes 10 to 15 minutes per auto-staged image.
- Lower price for a real room: a room shot from four angles is one Renov room at €5.53 to €10, against four auto-staged photos at $42 to $60 on Apply Design's own pricing.
- Photorealism from the photograph itself: each angle is rendered in the room's own light, with real materials, soft contact shadows and reflections, and the walls, windows and floors copied from the original at full resolution.
- A full production workflow: every room of the listing in one project, connected rooms, a design reused across rooms, single-angle re-renders, and an MLS export that keeps the originals.
- Renov reconstructs the room itself in 3D from all its photos and renders every angle from that one measured scene, instead of carrying furniture from one photo to the next; there is no per-angle setup.
- Any number of angles of a room, from one photo to 10 or more, all showing the same furniture.
- Mature editing: every piece is a real 3D object you move, rotate on three axes, resize, flip, swap, lock, hide and group, at true scale, with every angle updating.
- A whole real-estate production workflow: every room of a listing in one project, connected rooms, a design reused across rooms, single-angle re-renders, and an MLS export with the original kept.

Questions
- Is Renov a good Apply Design alternative?
- Yes, especially for listings shot from several angles: Renov renders every angle from one 3D model of the room, with real, to-scale products you place yourself. Apply Design suits users who want the largest furniture catalogue and are happy to stage photo by photo, at a per-photo price.
- How much does Renov cost?
- Renov is priced per room, from €5.53 a room, with 4 angles included (3 pictures each); add as many more angles as you shot, 2 credits each. Pay either way: a monthly plan (Standard €39 for 5 rooms, Premium €99 for 15, Max €249 for 45, which is €5.53 a room), or pay as you go with no subscription, from €10 a room down to €7 a room when you buy 40 rooms or more.
