### Does RELTO offer a free tier like Styldod?

### How does the quality compare?

Different methods. Styldod is editor-led: a person composes the staging and offers unlimited free revisions, with the time cost that implies. RELTO is architecture-aware AI: walls, windows, and doors are detected and locked before furniture is placed, every render is validated against structural constraints before delivery, and you can regenerate on demand across 6+ design styles. Judge both on your own listing photos using the free options.

### Which is better for teams and brokerages?

RELTO. The Team plan ($199/month) covers up to 20 seats sharing 250 stagings and the Brokerage plan ($499/month) covers up to 20 seats sharing 750, with centralized billing and brokerage-wide MLS compliance controls.
