AI room design pricing in 2026 falls into three patterns: credit packs, monthly subscriptions, and per-image bundles. Published entry prices at the time of writing:
| Tool | Entry paid tier | Model |
|---|---|---|
| RoomMakeover | $9/month, 200 credits (~100 renders) | credits, monthly or one-time packs |
| Spacely AI | $9/month, 200 credits | credits |
| Home-design.ai | $9.99 one-time, 30 credits | one-time packs |
| RemodelAI | $29/month, 1,000 designs | volume subscription |
| Collov AI | $19/month, 60 photo credits | credits (real-estate focus) |
Free tiers vary more than paid ones: some tools offer 3 free designs, others a trial that converts to weekly billing, the pattern behind many "said free, then charged me" reviews. Whatever tool you pick, check whether the free tier needs a card.
Credits versus unlimited
High-volume subscriptions look cheaper per image, but most homeowners render in bursts: a dozen images around a decision, then nothing for weeks. Credits that do not expire fit that rhythm better than a subscription you forget to cancel. RoomMakeover's one-time packs exist for exactly this: $6 for 100 credits, no expiry, no card stored.
What a real project costs to render
- One room, decided properly: ~6 renders across styles and colours = 12–15 credits, under $1.
- A whole 6-room home, 3 styles each: 36 renders ≈ 72 credits, inside a single $9 month with credits left over.
- Area experiments (repaint one wall): +1 credit over the standard 2.
For context, an interior designer's discovery phase typically bills $50–200/hour, and a bathroom remodel runs $8,000–25,000. Rendering before committing is the cheapest step of the entire project.
Prices move: verify before you buy
Competitor prices above were checked against public pricing pages in August 2026 and will drift. Treat the table as a snapshot, and treat any tool's checkout page as the source of truth.
