How fast is it really?

Minutes per photo rather than an overnight queue, and you can run a whole shoot at once. The exact time depends on the tool: a sky or window pull is quick, a full declutter or staged room re-renders the frame and takes longer.

What if the result is wrong?

Run it again with a different setting. There is no ticket and no wait. An edit that changes nothing is not charged. A declutter on a tidy room, a window pull with no blown-out glass or a perspective pass on an already straight frame ends as a no-op and its credits go back to your balance automatically. An edit that fails is refunded the same way.

Can I disclose that a photo was altered?

Yes. Staging, declutter and other composited edits can be exported with a "virtually staged" or "digitally altered" stamp in the corner, which several MLS markets require.

Do I need a subscription?

Yes. Monthly plans start at $15 for 30 credits, with no per-image ordering and no minimum. Cancel any time.

BoxBrownie's figures were taken from their own published pricing in September 2026, in US dollars; prices change and promotional rates come and go, so check theirs before deciding. A dash means we could not verify a figure and would rather leave it blank than guess. Toriva's side is read directly from the product's own price list.

When BoxBrownie is the better choice

You send complex retouching briefs that need a person to interpret them — item removal at scale, renovation mockups, unusual compositing.
You would rather hand the work off entirely and never touch an editor yourself, and the overnight turnaround suits your delivery schedule.
Your clients expect a human-checked result on every image and you are willing to pay per image for it.

The same listing, priced on both sides

A 30-photo shoot with the edits a listing usually needs: a few skies, some window pulls, two rooms staged, two twilight heroes. Toriva's figures come from the credit list at plan rates; BoxBrownie's from their published prices.
