Billing & Credits

Understanding Credits at Quickhome

Quickhome uses a simple credit system to make pricing flexible, predictable, and aligned with how real estate listings actually work.

Quick Summary

1 credit = 1 enhancement on 1 photo
Credits flex based on what each photo needs
Most photos use about 2 credits, so a 15 to 20 photo listing uses about 30 to 40 credits
Monthly plans are designed to absorb normal variability

What Is a Credit?

A credit represents one AI enhancement applied to one photo.

An enhancement is any meaningful AI operation that changes how a photo looks, such as:

Decluttering or object removal
Furniture removal
Virtual staging
Virtual renovation previews (flooring, cabinets, etc.)
Exterior improvements (sky, grass, twilight)
Perspective correction or reframing

Simple rule: 1 enhancement = 1 credit

If a photo receives:

• One enhancement → 1 credit
• Two enhancements → 2 credits
• Three enhancements → 3 credits

Good to know: There is no base charge per photo or per property. You only pay for the enhancements applied to each delivered photo. Virtual staging counts as one enhancement, and renovations use 1 credit per change type (for example, flooring and cabinets on the same photo use 2).

How Credits Are Used in Practice

Most photos use about 2 enhancements, for example lighting plus sky on an exterior, or declutter plus lighting on an interior. Some need only one. A smaller number need more, such as a living room that is decluttered, relit and then virtually staged.

Credits are designed to flex naturally based on what each photo actually needs, rather than forcing all photos into the same price.

This approach ensures:

Simple listings stay inexpensive
More complex listings remain predictable
You only pay for work that is actually applied

Thinking in Listings, Not Photos

Although credits are applied at the photo level, most customers think in credits per listing, not credits per photo. Credits naturally roll up from individual photos into a per-listing total, which makes monthly planning straightforward.

Typical Credit Usage Per Listing

These examples assume 15 to 20 photos per listing at about 2 credits a photo.

~30 to 40

Standard Enhancements

Declutter, lighting, cleanup

Per Staged Room

Virtual staging is one enhancement

Per Renovation Change

Flooring, cabinets, finishes

These are estimates, not hard limits. You always see the exact credit cost before confirming an order.

How Credits Scale Across a Listing

Within a single listing:

Most photos use 1 or 2 credits, about 2 on average
A small number use 2 to 3 credits
Heavier enhancement photos are the exception, not the norm

This blended usage is why a credit-based system is more accurate and fair than flat per-photo pricing.

Estimating Your Monthly Credit Needs

To estimate how many credits you need each month, consider:

1How many listings you require new photos for
2How many photos per listing you typically use
3Which enhancement type best matches your workflow

Why We Use Credits Instead of Per-Photo Pricing

Credits provide a better experience than per-photo pricing because they:

Reflect the real work applied to each photo
Adapt to different listing types
Stay predictable at the listing level
Avoid overcharging simple listings

Instead of guessing upfront, credits adjust naturally to what each listing requires.
