Apply Design has two ways to stage: one-click AI staging, or a drag-and-drop editor where you choose and place each piece from a catalog of more than 18,000 items. It stages 360° panoramas as well as regular photos, keeps furniture consistent across angles, and includes unlimited revisions and a money-back guarantee.
CasaVivid’s staging is AI-only and much faster, and it sits alongside the other listing edits.

When Apply Design is the better choice
If you want to decide exactly which sofa goes where, or you need 360° tours staged, Apply Design gives you that control. The money-back guarantee lowers the risk of trying it.
When CasaVivid is the better choice
If you want staged photos in seconds rather than minutes, at a lower cost per photo, and you also need the other listing fixes (clutter, sky, lawn, signs, privacy), CasaVivid does it in one place.
Where CasaVivid fits
CasaVivid is a web app for agents, brokers and property managers. Use photos you shot yourself on a phone or camera, or the edited photos your photographer delivered. Stage empty rooms, remove what shouldn’t be in the shot, fix the sky and the lawn, blur private details, and share the finished set, all in one project and in under 30 seconds a photo.
It is new and in open beta, free to use while the beta lasts. There are no human editors and no public API yet.
