Revivoto Services
Verdict: Revivoto offers its staging services for $9.99 (at a discount), which is more expensive if compared to even more popular competitors. They leverage their own real estate photography software, that's why the clients have doubts about whether the completed projects will meet the requirements of the industry.
Talking about editing services, Revivoto charges $0.95 per photo. Unfortunately, the quality of such pics is not the highest, and very often the processed photo has an artificial look and features unrealistic details.
Revivoto offers virtual staging services with a short turnaround time of one day.
✖ The quality is not pro-level. Revivoto claims that their employees leverage advanced technologies and own virtual staging software, but the quality of their work is not perfect.
✔ Quick turnaround time. The company claims that its specialists can cope with any project within 24 hours, which is an appealing aspect for many clients.
✖ No customization options. The staging process is fully automated and excludes manual editing, meaning that all Revivoto works are very similar to each other. Do not expect that your project will be individual. You won’t have an opportunity to express your wishes on details, furniture, etc., except for the choice of general style.
✔ Own a platform for ordering. Revivoto has a special platform where customers can place orders and monitor their projects. To place an order, register on the website and upload a photo for processing.
✖ Can only handle the images of empty space. Revivoto only accepts images of empty rooms for performing their virtual staging projects. This is rather a minus as realtors, and especially individual home sellers, cannot always take photos of property without furniture or some décor items.
Of course, the company’s team can delete the furniture pieces for an extra payment. Or you may use some other editing tool to erase objects by yourself.
Revivoto 360-degree virtual staging is a way for presenting the property to potential customers in the best possible light.
✔ Panoramic view. 360-degree virtual staging projects allow viewing the real estate from virtually any perspective. It is convenient, but most often clients would prefer more realistic virtual tours, which Revivoto does not create.
✖ No portfolio. Unfortunately, there is no portfolio on the Revivoto website, where potential customers could familiarize themselves with the work performed to envisage what a finished project might look like. This is often the reason why customers choose competitors.
✖ Lacks furniture catalog. On the website, it is stated that the specialists use lifelike furniture models to perform virtual staging projects, but you won’t find a library with furniture items there. You can only choose one of 7 design styles by previewing furniture examples used in photo examples.
However, you can get an overall understanding of the variety of furniture the company has by analyzing the photo samples provided to present the styles the designers work with. In addition, they offer limited opportunities for decorating spaces.
✖ Not many client reviews. Revivoto only appeared in 2022, so there are only a few client reviews on the web. Therefore, many customers prefer to hire proven companies that already have an impressive portfolio and work experience with positive reviews on the forums.
The company also delivers real estate photo editing services for increasing the quality of pics and making your listing stand out by correcting tone, lights, lines, etc.
✖ Sometimes the result is not realistic. Revivoto provides examples of pics edited with their software and they do not look very realistic. It is very important for the property to look in the photo exactly as in reality so that potential buyers can immediately assess its condition. This especially concerns commercial real estate photography.
✖ No specific requirements for original pics. Unfortunately, on the website, it is not stated what format and size of pics the company accepts for editing. The lack of clarity in this issue can cause many inconveniences: you may fail to upload the desired pic, losing much time adjusting photos to the platform’s requirements.
✖ Does not work with other genres. Revivoto specialists can only process real estate images and do not specialize in other genres. However, even realtors sometimes need other types of services like headshot retouching services.
✖ The pricing policy lacks transparency. The price of image improvement is $0.49. However, it is not clear whether this is a cost of each upgrade from the list on the website (light & color adjustment, geometrical alignment, etc.) or for editing the whole photo using several options.
✔ Handy extra features. They can add fire to the fireplace to create a cozy atmosphere for the property on sale. Screen replacement is another handy option offered by the company. Blank screens often cause reflections that deteriorate image composition, therefore it is better to replace them with a nice image.
Revivoto also offers item removal services, which are crucial for designing virtual staging projects.
✔ Two separate options. When it comes to item removal, the company can either delete some specific furniture objects or make the whole room empty. They can cope with the deletion of such tiny elements as fridge magnets or some big objects like an auto.
✔ Pay per order. Speaking about the agency’s pricing policy, it is important to highlight that it does not stick to a subscription-based system charging a client for each specific service provided.
✔ 100% copyright. Revivoto does not claim copyright on any of the projects they performed for their clients. So, you can safely use the company’s services without worrying about this aspect.
✖ No live connection with the team of designers. Placing an order on the platform is a convenient procedure, but there are several drawbacks, especially for beginning real estate agents.
You cannot leave comments to specify your order details. In addition, the platform does not offer a real-time connection with the designer, which may cause misunderstandings between the customer and the performer.
✔ Excellent customer support. Revivoto boasts round-the-clock customer support, which is a considerable advantage. It is possible to contact the company’s representatives via chat, email, or ask for a callback at your convenience.
Revivoto also delivers day to dusk services, which allows changing the sky in the outdoor images.
✔ Many sky styles. The collection of Revivoto sky samples consists of 10 styles. Fortunately, the website contains many examples so you can compare and select the most suitable one.
✖ No preview or free trial. Clients often struggle to select the most appropriate variant of the sky for a specific real estate photo. It would be nice if the platform visualizes how each style of the sky looks on the client’s photo before approving the order.
In addition, many customers would like to try a free trial version to assess the quality of the photo before ordering any service.
✖ No bulk ordering. If you need to process multiple photos, you need to add them in a sequence and order the service for each item. Unfortunately, the platform does not support bulk photos upload for editing, staging, or other manipulations, that’s why Revivoto can be a suitable option only for customers who need to quickly process several real estate photos.
✖ No mobile version. The platform is optimized for desktop devices but does not offer a mobile version, which is a real drawback, as most clients are smartphone users. They often take real estate pics on their phones, so having a real estate app will make the whole process simpler and would be a considerable plus for Revivoto.
✔ As many revisions as required. On the Revivoto website, it is stated that the editors can revise the resulting pic as many times as it is required. However, at the same time, they do not provide detailed information about the process itself: its mechanics, how to make changes, how long to wait for corrections, what can be considered a revision, and what requires a new order, etc.
The standard price on virtual staging is $18.99/image, whereas item removal will send you back $2.99. To get stunning twilight real estate photography and benefit from other day-to-dusk options, be ready to pay $4/photo.
For image enhancement services the company charges from $1, and 360-degree virtual staging is available for $28.99.
Verdict: FixThePhoto is probably the most popular virtual staging and retouching company. They specialize in delivering a broad spectrum of services: editing of photos of various genres, rendering, virtual renovation of properties, item removal, etc.
Unlike Revivoto, FixThePhoto team provides customized solutions considering all clients’ needs and wishes. Moreover, the company developed a dedicated mobile application with several free features to allow clients to test its functionality and order image retouching services without hesitation.
Verdict: When it comes to retouching, WeEdit.Photos leaves Revivoto behind. The company can edit photos of virtually any genre and delivers such specific real estate industry services as virtual staging.
WeEdit.Photos guarantees the top level of the delivered job and is ready to perform endless revisions if required. Its client service is top-level, which cannot be said about many other similar services available on the market today.
Verdict: A broad spectrum of services for realtors is the reason why BoxBrownie is so popular nowadays. They do not only develop virtual staging projects but also build floor plans, do aerial photo editing, create site plans, etc.
In contrast to Revivoto, an array of image editing tasks they can cope with are more extensive. However, when it comes to customization, the companies are similar. They provide only the services specified on their website not allowing customers to make individual wishes, which is an obvious drawback for many of them.
Verdict: VirtualStagingLab is another company similar to Revivoto. It appeals to clients with a portfolio of work samples to demonstrate the quality of their job. They specialize in virtual staging, offering no other essential services to realtors.
When it comes to prices, they are much higher than those offered by Revivoto and other similar companies, therefore not suitable for most real estate sellers who work individually. Besides, there are no specific requirements for the photos they can accept for processing, so you’ll need to contact the client service to make this issue clear.
Verdict: The prices of Hasten virtual staging are not the lowest ones, but the professional quality of the outcome is not guaranteed. If you need an editing services provider, look further as the company cannot perform such types of projects.
The lack of pricing transparency is another disappointing aspect of the agency. To discover the cost of your design, contact the company’s representatives and discuss all cost-forming points in detail. Unlike Revivoto, Hasten provides samples of their works but not a catalog of furniture for virtual staging.
Verdict: Creating virtual tours and doing post-processing, TruPlace outmatches Revivoto. But the company’s site is difficult to navigate, whereas the lack of detailed info and list of prices for their services irritate clients inducing them to turn to competitors.
They have the advantage of providing several unique options such as clear-view windows, but the prices are very high. Moreover, the process of order placing on the website is a very time-consuming, as a client should request an appointment with a manager first, whereas Revivoto makes things easier.
Verdict: IMOTO provides a more diverse range of services if compared to Revivoto, including drone videos and the ability to order aerial photoshoots. Unfortunately, the quality of their job is sometimes disappointing. Clients also complain about a small portfolio, which makes it impossible to fully appreciate the quality of the work performed.
IMOTO pays attention to detail, which cannot be said about Revivoto. But frequently, the outcome looks over-edited, as well as selected items and furniture may not align with the room’s style.
Verdict: 3D Stagers offers an extensive library of furniture items to choose from, but their pricing policy is not very affordable. Besides, the company’s specialists cannot cope with advanced real estate editing.
Additionally, their website is too basic and its functionality is restricted, and the selection of room styles is also poor, which makes Revivoto the winner in this battle. However, 3D Stagers has a furniture catalog, which is a great plus.
Verdict: Virtual staging delivered by Spotless Agency Solutions are quite expensive, but the quality leaves much to be desired. If you need to process multiple pics at once, both companies are poor choices, as they do not support this option.
Unfortunately, Spotless Agency Solutions cannot edit real estate pics, so realtors seeking a comprehensive service should look elsewhere. The absence of an app, which could facilitate the ordering process, is another drawback.
Verdict: Virtual staging, restyling, and remodeling are the services VirtualStagingSolutions specializes in. They do their best to provide top-level client service and deliver projects of premium quality in the shortest possible time.
Unlike Revivoto, the ordering process is quite complicated. Another drawback is that they do not offer image editing. Besides, their payment system is not convenient as well, as they only accept tokens.
