**The product.** A web app that changes photos of rooms with image-generation models. A user uploads a photo and gets the same room furnished (virtual staging), redesigned in another style, cleared of clutter, relit, or turned from a sketch into a realistic render. Each image costs one credit; plans give 150 or 500 credits a month. A side tool finds furniture like the items in an image at local stores.

**Why it worked.** Stripe records show US$10,993 of revenue since the first payment and US$565 of monthly recurring revenue from 39 subscriptions in October 2026. It is a small business: the best month was US$1,300 in December 2025, and the last three months averaged about half of the first three months in the table. The company has listed it for sale at US$38,000.

Evidence grades: A = disclosed by a public company, a filing or a payment processor, or verified by one; B = two or more independent reports agree, or a journalist confirmed it; C = a founder claim that no one else verified; D = reported, not verified: one founder claim or a third-party estimate with no second source; calc = computed on this page from graded facts.

## Summary

Deptho is a set of image tools for people who sell or design rooms. Its main use is virtual staging: furniture and decoration are added by software to a photo of an empty room, so that a buyer can judge the size and use of the space without the cost of renting real furniture. The images are made by image-generation models, programs trained on very many pictures that can redraw a photo from a text instruction while keeping its walls and windows. Deptho also redesigns furnished rooms in another style, removes clutter, changes the light and turns sketches into renders. The company behind it is Deptho AI, LLC; its terms are dated 21 April 2024 and TrustMRR gives 15 May 2024 as the founding date.

The money figures come from TrustMRR, a site that reads a startup's payment records directly from its payment processor through an API key, so the owner cannot type them in. For Deptho the processor is Stripe. TrustMRR shows US$10,993 of verified revenue since the first payment, US$566 in the 30 days to 31 October 2026, and a monthly recurring revenue (MRR, the subscription revenue that repeats each month) of US$565 from 39 active subscriptions. The best month was December 2025 with US$1,300. On the same page the business is listed for sale at an asking price of US$38,000.

Deptho is the smallest of the virtual-staging businesses on this site: Virtual Staging AI reached US$1 million in yearly recurring revenue before Zillow bought it, Interior AI earned about US$43,000 a month with one person, and IACrea reported about €10,000 a month. Because staged photos can mislead home buyers, this page also quotes Deptho's own advice that staged images must be labeled. It ends with four interior-design startups that closed before image models could do the design work.

## Pricing

Deptho plans in October 2026, from the plan table on the company's home page read on 31 October 2026 (grade C); the separate pricing page loads its prices by script

| Plan | Per month, billed yearly (US$) | Per month, billed monthly (US$) | Limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | 0 | 0 | 2 credits, no card |
| Bungalow | 10 | 12 | 150 credits a month, basic support |
| Palace | 24 | 30 | 500 credits a month, priority support |

One credit makes one image. The yearly prices are billed once a year (US$115.20 for Bungalow, US$288 for Palace). All plans include all features. The terms say that all payments are final and not refunded. In July 2025, the plans were Bungalow at US$12 a month (shown reduced from US$20) for 200 credits and Palace at US$45.50 (shown reduced from US$99) for 500 credits.

## When did Deptho AI launch, and how did it grow? Timeline

From terms of service in April 2024 to a for-sale listing in October 2026. Each entry carries its grade.

- **21 April 2024** (grade C [4]): The terms of service of Deptho are dated: AI real-estate redesigns, a shopping search for the items in a redesign, 2 free credits for each new user, and no refunds.
- **15 May 2024** (grade C [1]): Founding date given on TrustMRR.
- **15 July 2025** (grade C [6]): An Internet Archive copy shows tools named Fill Room, Magic Sketch, Redesign, Selecta, Adtive, Lemma and Motion, and plans of US$12 and US$45.50 a month.
- **Before November 2025** (grade calc [1]): About US$1,512 of verified revenue in total before the monthly table starts.
- **December 2025** (grade A [1]): Best month: US$1,300.
- **April 2026** (grade A [1]): US$1,147, the last month above US$1,000.
- **September 2026** (grade A [1]): Lowest month in the table: US$438.

## Why did Deptho AI work?

### Many tools on one credit system

The home page lists virtual staging, interior redesign, sketch to image, photo enhance, declutter, eraser, lighting, material change, image to video and more. Every tool spends the same credits, one per image, so one subscription covers all of them.

### Three kinds of buyer

The home page shows use cases for real estate agents (empty or dated listings), interior design studios (showing a client a proposal before work starts), architects (a render from a sketch) and furniture shops (product photos in a styled room). TrustMRR names interior designers, real estate agents and architecture professionals as the target.

### Pages in many languages

The sitemap lists the home page and feature pages in 12 languages and about 200 English blog posts on real estate photography and interior design. An Internet Archive copy from 14 January 2025 has a Spanish page title, "Redefiniendo Espacios, Acelerando Ventas" (translation: redefining spaces, speeding up sales). No source says how many customers came through search.

### Lower prices

In July 2025 the larger plan cost US$45.50 a month for 500 credits; in October 2026 it costs US$30 a month or US$24 a month billed yearly for the same 500 credits. The verified revenue fell over the same period, so the lower price did not bring more revenue.

## How it was built

Few build details are public. These come from the TrustMRR profile and from what the site's own pages show. They are grade C, except the payment processor, which TrustMRR confirms.

- Stripe takes the payments; the home page shows a "payments powered by stripe" badge, and TrustMRR reads the revenue from the Stripe account.
- The site is a Next.js app: its page source loads scripts from the /_next/static/ path that Next.js uses.
- Google Analytics is loaded on the home page.
- No source names the image models Deptho uses.
- The company has an account on Threads, and the footer links to listings of Deptho on AI tool directories.

## Who tried this before Deptho AI, and why did they fail?

Four companies in our database of failed startups sold interior design or room visualization before image models could draw a room from a photo. The values below are from that database and are not independently verified.

The failed startups come from our database of dead startups, retold here in our own words; Its entries are AI-assisted summaries of public sources, so they carry no evidence grade.

### Modsy (2015 to 2022; funding US$72.7M; cause: Unit Economics)

- Promise: 3D room visualization that let homeowners see furniture in their own space before buying, with links to buy it.
- Why it died: Each design needed people in the loop, customers seldom bought again, and finding them cost too much to reach a profit.
- Record: 

### Laurel & Wolf (2014 to 2019; funding US$25M; cause: Unit Economics)

- Promise: Online interior design for a flat fee, done by professional designers.
- Why it died: The flat fees did not cover the cost of finding customers, and adding more designers lowered quality.
- Record: 

### Tastemaker (2012 to 2015; funding US$1.5M; cause: Competition)

- Promise: Affordable interior design for ordinary homes.
- Why it died: Competitors, uneven service from human designers and too little cash in a crowded market.
- Record: 

### Kujiale (2011 to 2025; funding US$550M; cause: No Market Need)

- Promise: Drag-and-drop 3D home design, then buy everything in the design.
- Why it died: Consumers did not need the large 3D product it built, and AI image tools made its technology outdated.
- Record: 

## What changed

Modsy, Laurel & Wolf and Tastemaker sold design as a service: a person, or a person with 3D software, drew each room. That made each design expensive, and the companies spent tens of millions of dollars on staff and on finding customers. Kujiale built 3D modeling software that the user had to learn.

An image model redraws a room photo in seconds for a few cents. Deptho charges between about US$0.06 and US$0.08 an image and needs no designer in the loop. The cost of entry fell so far that many small companies now sell the same tools, which is one reason why Deptho's revenue stayed small.

## Can one person copy Deptho AI now?

**Verdict: Easy to copy, hard to stand out.**

The tools rest on image models that anyone can rent, and the site on this page has many direct competitors, among them Virtual Staging AI, which Zillow bought, and Interior AI. Deptho's own verified revenue fell by about half within a year.

1. Pick one group of professional buyers and show a real before-and-after for each of their jobs.
2. Sell credits that work across all tools, so each new tool adds value to the same subscription.
3. Tell users in the product and in guides how to label staged images, since the users carry the legal risk.
4. Watch monthly verified revenue; when it falls, find out which customers left before adding more tools.

**What is still open.** Staging tools built into the systems that agents already use to publish listings, with the label added automatically, are less crowded than another stand-alone web app.

## What could go wrong for Deptho AI?

- **Staged photos and disclosure.** Deptho's own blog post on photo-editing ethics says: "Simulations (renders, virtual staging) must be clearly labeled without exception" and "Do not hide structural defects such as leaks or cracks". The home page tells agents to publish a before-and-after comparison in the listing. The product itself does not add a label to the image; the home page's use case "refresh outdated listings without renovation" does not mention labeling.
- **Falling revenue.** Monthly verified revenue fell from an average of US$1,087 in November 2025 to January 2026 to US$559 in August to October 2026. MRR fell 17.1% in the last 30 days.
- **For sale.** The owner has listed the business on TrustMRR at US$38,000, with 6 offers received. A new owner may change the product or the prices.
- **No refunds.** The terms say that all payments are final and not refundable, including subscriptions and credits.
- **Competition.** Virtual Staging AI, Interior AI and IACrea, all on this site, sell the same kind of tool, and Zillow, a large property portal, now owns Virtual Staging AI.
