- You need results in about a minute, not the next day

- You can wait about a day for delivery

## Frequently asked questions

### Is RELTO cheaper than Stuccco?

At volume, yes. Stuccco charges roughly $24.50-$35 per photo (bundle vs pay-as-you-go). RELTO's Team plan ($199/month, 250 stagings) costs less in dollars once you stage about 6-9 photos a month (depending on bundle rate); at 20 photos, Stuccco runs about $490-$700/month vs RELTO's flat $199. Below that volume, Stuccco's per-photo pricing costs less - you are choosing between human design time and instant AI turnaround.

### Does RELTO have a free tier?

Yes. RELTO offers a one-time free tier with watermarked staging - no credit card required - so you can evaluate the output before subscribing. Stuccco is pay-per-photo.

### How do the two services actually differ?

They are different kinds of service. Stuccco is designer-led: a human composes the staging and delivers in about a day. RELTO is architecture-aware AI: results in about a minute, 6+ design styles, on-demand regeneration, plus RELTOLock structural verification and an MLS disclosure workflow. Speed and volume favor RELTO; bespoke human composition favors Stuccco.

### Which is better for high-volume staging?

RELTO. The Team plan covers 250 stagings for $199/month and the Brokerage plan covers 750 for $499/month - at Stuccco's per-photo rates, 250 photos would cost thousands of dollars and take days of designer turnaround.

## AI or a per-photo staging service?

Stuccco is a per-photo staging service. For when that is worth the wait and when AI is enough, see AI Virtual Staging vs Human Virtual Staging: Which Should Agents Use?: https://relto.app/guides/ai-vs-human-virtual-staging
