What 15 staged photos cost each way
The same listing, priced from the table. This is arithmetic on the published prices, not a survey.
- Per photo, Bella Virtual Staging: 15 × US$31.45 = US$471.75, about $669 in Canadian dollars.
- Per listing, Viara Studio: $59 in Canadian dollars, with the video, flyers and a draft listing page in the same price.
Apply Design is left out: 15 photos would take 22.5 coins, and its page does not say half a coin can be bought. A monthly plan is priced by the month, not the listing, so none is in this list.
What a price may leave out
Read each page for what a price covers before comparing two of them.
- Furniture removal. Bella Virtual Staging's page says it is included with staging, and Apply Design's says item removal is included. Viara Studio does not remove furniture: staging adds furniture to empty rooms.
- Revisions. Bella Virtual Staging's page says revisions are unlimited for two weeks. On Viara Studio each staged photo includes two rounds of variants, with up to ten versions in total.
Physical staging
Physical staging brings furniture into the home. One Toronto stager, The Staging Room, publishes a $280 consultation fee and quotes the staging itself afterward, with furniture rented for one month. That is one stager's one figure, not a price for physical staging in Canada.

Is a virtual staging subscription worth it for an agent with three listings a year?
