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
  • Typical listings use 30–48 credits, depending on enhancement type
  • 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: Baseline improvements like lighting balance, color correction, and general image cleanup are always included and do not consume additional credits.

How Credits Are Used in Practice

Most photos only need one primary enhancement. Some need none. A smaller number need multiple enhancements, such as a living room that is decluttered 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

Below are common averages based on real-world usage. These examples assume approximately 20 photos per listing.

~30
Standard Enhancements
Declutter, lighting, cleanup
~37
+ Virtual Staging
Standard + staging select rooms
~48
+ Virtual Renovations
Flooring, cabinets, finishes

These are typical averages, not hard limits. Most listings fall comfortably within these ranges.

How Credits Scale Across a Listing

Within a single listing:

  • Many photos use 1 or 2 credits
  • A small number use 2–3 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.
