PropShotQuestions and comparisons
The things agents actually ask before their first listing, and an honest look at how this stacks up against the three alternatives.
Questions agents ask
Will my virtual staging look real?
Staging is drawn to the room’s true proportions, so furniture is scaled to the space, not dropped on top. Every staged photo carries a built-in disclosure toggle so you can mark it as virtually staged for your MLS.
Will my MLS accept enhanced photos?
Enhancement (brightening, straightening, sky, twilight) is standard listing prep. For virtual staging, turn on the disclosure toggle so the photo is labeled as virtually staged, which keeps you compliant with MLS rules. You’re responsible for following the disclosure rules in your area.
Will the photos look consistent across a set?
Yes. A set is processed to a consistent look so your listing gallery reads as one shoot, not a patchwork.
How many photos can I try free?
Your first 4 photos are free, no credit card required. When you’re ready to keep them, you pick a pack.
What photo formats can I upload?
HEIC (straight off an iPhone), JPEG, and PNG.
Do I need to download an app?
No. PropShot runs right in your web browser on any phone or computer, with nothing to install. If you’d like an app-style shortcut, add it to your home screen: on iPhone, tap Share → Add to Home Screen; on Android, tap the ⋮ menu → Add to Home screen.
How long are my photos stored?
Photos are deleted after 7 days, per the Privacy Policy. Download your finished shots before then.
What’s your refund policy?

How it compares
Three ways agents get listing photos fixed today, and where this fits.
PropShot vs. hiring a photographer
A photographer is the right call for a flagship listing. For the everyday ones (the rental, the quick relist, the second round of interiors), the booking and the wait cost more than the photos do.
Hiring a photographer
PropShot
Turnaround
You book a slot, wait for the shoot, then wait again for the edited files to come back. Days, typically.
Upload the photos you already took and get listing-ready shots back in minutes.
Cost
You pay per visit, whether the listing needs 5 photos or 50.
You pay per photo. 4 free to start, then $15 for 5, $50 for 20, or $100 for 50. Leftover pack credits carry forward.
Scheduling
Two calendars have to line up (yours and the photographer's) plus seller access.
Nothing to schedule. You are already at the property with a phone.
If the weather turns
A flat grey sky usually means rebooking the exterior.
Sky replacement and Twilight handle the exterior without a second visit.
Empty rooms
Physical staging is a separate cost and a separate delivery date.
Virtual staging, scaled to the room's real proportions, with a built-in disclosure toggle so you can label the shot as virtually staged for your MLS.
This is not an argument against photographers. It is an argument against waiting on one for photos you have already taken. Book the shoot when the property deserves it.
PropShot vs. going back for a reshoot
Most reshoots are not about the composition. They are about a grey sky, a dark living room, or clutter nobody moved. All three are fixable from the photos you already have.
Going back to reshoot
PropShot
What it costs you
A second trip to the property, seller access arranged again, and another block of your day.
Nothing beyond the photo. 4 free to start, then $3 per photo beyond your pack.
Turnaround
As long as it takes to get back on site, and the listing is live in the meantime.
Minutes. Upload from the driveway and swap the photos the same afternoon.
Flat grey sky
You wait for a better day and hope the forecast holds.
Sky replacement, with the roofline kept clean and the light on the house adjusted to match.
Dusk hero shot
Back to the property at 7pm for the twilight exterior.
Twilight turns a daytime exterior into a lit evening shot. $5 per Twilight photo, and you keep the daytime version too.
Clutter you could not move
Move it and shoot again.
Brush over the bins, the cars, the countertop clutter, and the space behind is filled back in.
If the framing is wrong, go back and reshoot it. No edit fixes a bad angle. If the framing is fine and the conditions were not, start here first.
PropShot vs. sending files out to an editor
Outsourced editing works. The friction is everything around it: the transfer, the brief, the quote, the queue, and the revision round trip.
Sending files to an editor
PropShot
Getting files there
Export from the camera, upload to a transfer service, send a brief, wait for a reply.
Upload straight from your phone. HEIC off an iPhone, plus JPEG and PNG.
Turnaround
A queue you do not control, usually quoted in days.
Minutes, while you are still standing outside the property.
Revisions
A round trip per note, and another wait each time.
You see the result and adjust it yourself before you pay.
Pricing
Per-image quoting that varies by job and by editor.
Published and flat: 4 free, $15 for 5, $50 for 20, $100 for 50, then $3 per extra photo. $5 per Twilight version.
Consistency across a set
Depends who picks up the job that week.
A set is processed to one consistent look, so the gallery reads as a single shoot.
Nothing downloads until payment is complete, and everything beyond your pack is totaled once at the end, so you always see the number before you commit to it.
Still have a question?
Your first 4 photos are free, no credit card required. Trying it is usually faster than asking. If something is still unclear, just ask.
